Dan Maes: 49.35%
Scott McInnis: 48.89%
Yoon Joon Mager: 1%
Right.
As far as Ali Hasan, I would expect him to go petition since he got 20%. Probably not what he was hoping for, though.
He needs to get 1500 signatures from every congressional district… BY THURSDAY!
I don’t see it happening.
No petition, he’s done.
See down below.
That’ll learn me to post before reading the entire thread.
Good luck trying to get that many signatures between now and Thursday.
.
Buck and Maes, more than anyone else, were the darlings of the Tea Party, as best I could tell.
The Tea Party folks who wanted to affect change within the party
(despite protestations to the contrary, some believe the Tea Party movement is part of the GOP)
got the best they could have hoped for.
Can’t wait to see what the rest of the Party has to say about that in August.
I concede that Buck, though he personally dislikes me, is eminently electable. Maes, not so much.
.
I was expecting Norton to get at least 30%.
I guess this is why she is petitioning onto the ballot instead of going to the convention.
Therefore, she wasn’t on the ballot at the State Assembly. Nice try though.
I forgot how they run the conventions. My mistake. I was too shocked to remember.
I wonder what she would have gotten had she been at the assembly.
Was anyone there? I know she couldn’t have a presence there, but was any of her folks there?
They put up signs (some illegal and were taken down, others outside the property), tried to pass out stickers (again this was against the rules), and wore t-shirts (ok). Jane Norton spoke at the congressional assemblies which would let her, which I guess is technically ok because that is not the STATE assembly. All to no avail. Ken Buck had every congressional assembly and the state assembly on its feet, and he finished with a resounding victory.
If I were a delegate, it would piss me off knowing Norton wasn’t supposed to be there but still trying to maintain a presence by illegally putting up signs. I’d vote for Buck for that reason.
If she wanted signs, she should have shown up to the convention. I guess she believes the rules just don’t apply to her.
Not only does Scott McInnis lose.
Scott McInnis loses to a nobody, without a job who is using his campaign donations to live on.
The best news that John Hickenlooper could possibly have heard today.
He doesn’t have the dollars. But he beat McInnis at the assembly spending about $1.75. That’s supposed to be impossible. So in the primary, who knows…
the Big Line hasn’t been updated yet. 😉
I’m very proud of the campaign we ran – we made a lot of wonderful friends and I had a terrific time
I said from the start that I would honor the Assembly process and our good delegates
I definitely thought we would do better – but I honor the decision of our activists
No petitions for me – I love our Party – I love our activists – I’m looking forward to helping the State House and Senate candidates – and of course, I’m looking forward to getting back to filmmaking 🙂
It’s good to hear from you. Be well and I applaud your support of your fellow candidates.
Looking forward to your film…
Thank you all for your kind words – it’s good to have a home at CPols
Maybe it just wasn’t the right race for you. Run for house again!
Let’s not get carried away.
Ali Hassan spent an awful lot of money to get his ass kicked today. As for not petitioning on it was physically impossible to do so between now and Thursday.
Give him credit for having the good common sense to accept defeat and praise those delegates who vanquished him.
Either Stapleton or Ament might be hard for Cary Kennedy to beat in November.
Impossible? no.
VERY expensive? Yes.
I couldn’t disagree more with your politics, but you have the happiest, most positive outlook on life of anyone I have ever met! Good luck with your filmmaking.
I can already read the tea leaves:
Bennet or Romanoff (will be interesting to watch how that plays out) will be in the Senate and I’m already trying to make contacts with Hickenlooper.
Just hope that Suthers can hold on.
and the way it will play out is totally predictable. There was no suspense about Romanoff maintaining most of his delegate advantage at State Assembly today and there won’t be any about Bennet beating him in the primary.
And no GOP candidates need to feel too badly about failing to win the nomination for Treasurer. If they had heard incumbent Cary Kennedy today, they’d know she’s going to kill. Ali’s lucky he’s not going to be in the race.
boyles, radio talk show host ( Of “Ritter has to go, byebye Villafuerte,don’t let the Congress pass immigration reform”) backed Maes and Buck. Maes did not hesitate to say that if elected, he will order a grand jury investigation of the 2006 ritter campaign and boyles said to the effect, “you’re my man.” McInnis hemmed and hawed and finally days later made the same comment to boyles…
Buck has been a boyles baby from the beginning.
Again, people, twenty hours a week – metro drive time -on the public airwaves is a helleva lot of time to promote candidates…which boyles does….
He also is predicting that Foster will resign….or as he says “she has to go.”
The real question is, “What does Joyce Foster have to do with anything?”
She introduced an amendment to the SexOffender’s Management Board (or some such) reauthorization bill, at the last minute. The amendment said that sex offenders could choose their own treatment program from a list of three provided by their parole/probation officer. the bill passed.
boyles broke the story that Foster had failed to disclose that her brother-in-law was a registered sex offender. big media firestorm. ritter, as boyles had directed him to do, vetoed the bill.
Foster is a denver democrat, story figures to be a big backstory in the fall campaigns…IMHO
Or better known as complete bullshit. Ritter “wasn’t directed” by Boyles to veto this bill. You want to claim crap like that–start backing it up with some fucking proof. You bitch and moan about Boyles but you are no better than he is when it comes to misrepresenting the truth.
My phrase “as directed by Ritter” was hyperbole….an exaggeration for effect. boyles demanded that Ritter veto the bill; he urged his audience to call the governor and demand that he veto the bill; boyles gave out the governor’s telephone number. he urged his audience to continue to call the governor’s office every day until the bill was vetoed.
When his listeners called the governor’s office, they then would call boyles and he would reinforce the action. boyles waged an effective campaign. This was before the Denver Post called for a veto. Would the bill have gotten the governor’s veto if boyles hadn’t launched his campaign?? I don’t know. My guess is he would not.
Calm down. the issue does not call for that kind of language….save it for something which matters.
I’m just weary of people like you bitching about Boyles and then doing his job for him.
As for language, hahahahaha. Your bullshit assertion calls for even worse. And besides, I like to swear. Sue me.
However, I don’t like the hostility directed towards me, nor do I understand it. This is my agenda:
1) I publicize what talk radio in the metro area is doing because I do not want its influence ignored by dems.
2) I think that the dems need to have a strategy to counter the issues and that strategy needs to include addressing the issues to the same audience at the same time that the original charges were made.
3) I think that it is fundamental dangerous to representative government to have the public airwaves effectively controlled by one political party.
4) I acknowledge the success which boyles is having simply, again, to emphasize my first three points.
5) I rage against the dem attitude, which I think you reflect, that somehow dems are too smart and elite to “stoop” to dealing with talk radio. That somehow if it is just ignored, it will go away.
Now, I understand that you are out of the listening area of metro denver and simply may not be aware of what 80 hours plus a week of republican propaganda sounds like..
I will happily respond to any argument presented re my five points. I will no longer, however, respond to personal attacks. I think the issues are too important..
where I wrote that as an ex-DA, it would be a cold day in hell before Ritter would sign that bill with that amendment in it.
His veto message pretty well said that too.
Evan Dryer initially said that Ritter hadn’t even read the bill.
The delay allowed boyles to heat up the issue. This am boyles is taking a victory lap, crediting his show and his audience with the veto.
There was a front page diary about it on Friday.
I think Ritter handled that very well by vetoing it. And I hope Foster gets primaried in her next election – that was sleazy.
We get rid of them. (Mostly.)
Republicans circle the wagons.
Wait til the first daughter gets married!!
And Udall.
And Obama.
I’m not disagreeing- it’s abig deal and the D’s need a better media strategy. But.
