The "reliable conservative" hurts Republicans in CO, AR

  • 2 Comments
  • by: CoalCreekWildfire

A truly reliable conservative works to shorten the Republican primary and to lengthen the Democratic primary:

1) Run down the liberal candidates’ war chests by helping to keep the primary race competitive as long as possible

2) Protecting the conservative candidates’ war chests by shortening the primary race – making one candidate the overwhelming favorite

Norton dominated Buck until the AJS ads ran. The primary race is getting hotter and will chew up money that could have gone to the General Election. Winner: Bennet.

Lincoln dominates Halter and the AJS ads can only extend her lead. Halter will exit the race soon and start helping Blanche win the general election. Winner: Lincoln – if the early resolution can turn the race around.

AJS is helping Bennet win in Colorado and Lincoln close the gap in Arkansas. Tell me again how AJS is reliably conservative?

  1. Let me make sure I understand, Norton was dominating Buck until the AJS ads ran?

    The Caucus that Buck beat Norton in was in March, right?  

    That was the first time anyone voted as to who should be our Senator, except for the NRSC, right?

    The AJS ads started around April 14th, right?

    March comes before April, right?

    My brain is really stretching here, but how does this make any sense?

    I know Princess Norton expected Buck to walk away when the big boys from the NRSC came calling, but he didn’t.

    It would be too much for the NRSC to ask the Princess to withdraw now, but check out what is going to happen to McConnell’s boy in Kentucky next week, he is going down.  And look at what happened to the Princess’s donor from Utah, Sen. Bennett, he went down last week. Don’t suppose that might happen in Colorado do you?

    Sometimes democracy is messy, but you know what?  It beats the hell out of a bunch of insiders telling you what is good for you.

    1. The Caucus Straw Poll results were evenly split between the leaders, with Buck at 38.2% and Norton at 37.5%. There were 153 votes between them, 0.8% of the 19,389 cast for Buck and Norton.

      Statistically tied for first.

      We true believers dominate the Caucus and prefer “outsider” candidates whom we view as ideologically pure and untainted. Too often we base our decisions on words, not deeds, because the candidates have no relevant track record.

      We do not like the more general polls because it gives equal weight to all Republican voters, including the ones who are not paying attention. It’s unfair but more reflective of the electoral process we have today.

      Norton consistently outperformed Buck and Wiens in Primary polls until May. Rasmussen now has Norton and Buck tied, with Wiens close behind.

      Most interesting: “Wiens close behind.” Do you believe Wiens can win the general election? I do not. ColoradoPols does not either.
