Update: Ladies and gentlemen, the “Foul-Mannered Four”–with a twist!

* Dave Schultheis – 45 votes (20.74%)

* Doug Bruce – 40 votes (18.43%)

* Kevin Lundberg – 25 votes (11.52%)

* Jane Norton – 22 votes (10.14%)

* Scott McInnis – 22 votes (10.14%)

That’s right, Jane Norton and Scott McInnis tied for the 4th spot! I admit I didn’t actually plan for that, we’ll have to resolve it somehow. Congratulations, as in the first round, to the reigning train wreck of Colorado right-wing politics, Dave Schultheis. It looks, as hard as other contenders try, like he’s going to be tough to out-extreme. Stay tuned!

After narrowing the field from last week’s “Extreme 16,” here are your contenders for this week: the “Egregious Eight.” GOP state Sen. Dave Schultheis received the most votes last round, with his trademark “babies get AIDS” alley-oop that leaves opponents positively speechless. Close behind Schultheis is the man who calls TABOR the fruit of his loins, Doug “The Kicker” Bruce. Noted climate change denier and general-purpose radical rightie Kevin Lundberg rounds out the top three vote-getters from last week.

The field is certainly clear of all but the truly extreme among Colorado conservatives, so we’re expecting very close results! Any of them are completely capable of taking it to “the limit” (in some cases, well past the limit), it’s just a question of who wants it more! Will Cory “The Birther” pull out his tricky double-fake “Tea Party” moves, or will he play it safe? Can Scott McInnis avoid another tragic John McEnroe style freak out? Stay tuned!

In today’s poll (below), vote for four contenders to advance to the “Foul-Mannered Four.” I’ll announce the winners tomorrow at 9PM, and we’ll be well on the way toward selecting 2010’s Colorado Extreme Champion! This is the last poll in which you’ll be voting for more than one contender, we’ll settle the rest with head-to-head matchups. Happy voting!
