But it’s doubtful that Republicans would hold their noses to support her: Riddle used to work for Planned Parenthood.
a lot of Durango Republicans are pretty moderate, I could them supporting Riddle pretty easily.
I guess I don’t get the ostracization of Riddle, I mean, besides the FRAC vote and the Hotter campaign sign, she’s still a pretty reliable liberal voice on the county building, right? My impression of her has always been that she definitely has an idealist streak that could easily explain her switch to independent better than any “move to the dark side” would.
She also tried to take over the health department, essentially have it run by the county commissioners of La Plata and Archuleta counties. There was a recent land use decision where she sided with the Republican. She’s made several public statements that sound to me like – I really like my Republican colleague, so I’m going to vote with her. I have no doubt that her thinking is probably a bit more sophisticated than that, but her expression of it has been that simple-minded.
What’s most upsetting to Dems about her vote on the FRAC’ing bill was it was only a gesture of support of De Gette’s bill. People have worked for 20 years on oil and gas in this county, most of them Democrats, and she never once spoke of her willingness to buy the O&G line. She’s been a real do-nothing commissioner which is a more bitter pill for Dems because she replaced a Republican who didn’t do much but wasn’t creating new problems.
So, really, I’m not aware of any liberal vote that she has taken on the board.
Hard to tell what’d inspire the most nostril grabbing…working for Planned Parenthood or being a former chair of the La Plata County Dems. But that “marriage of inconvenience” has worked out okay for the GOP and DA (and former Dem chair) Pete Hautzinger up in Mesa County.
she didn’t know the ballot implications when she split from the Dems. In fact, she won’t be able to appear on the ballot unless the Republicans make her their nominee. I can see them voting for her, I can’t see them nominating her. She apparently has no plans to join a party, she want to run as an independent. Unfortunately, that’s not a party. The only way to run as an independent is with write-in votes. I don’t see how she’ll do it. A perfect storm is possible if the Republicans nominate someone who can pull a third of the votes and the Dems do the same, then maybe she can get the 6,000 votes as write-ins to win but that’s a really stretched scenario to me.
And again, she made this decision without even knowing, much less understanding, the results of her decision. That, more than anything, has decided me not to vote for her again.
