I don't know Lorena but I've worked with her father a lot and he's one of the most impressive activists in the state. So she has my vote and I hope she makes it on the ballot.
According to the CO Dem Party website:
“U.S. Senate Candidate John Hickenlooper has received sufficient signatures to get on the ballot & has therefore withdrawn from the assembly process.
COUNTY ORGANIZERS & DELEGATES: Your future county preference polls for US Senate will now include: Romanoff, Spaulding, Uncommitted, Underwood, Zornio.”
A max of 3 of these candidates will graduate to State from County (hopefully Uncommitted will not).
A max of 3 will graduate from State to Primary.
Did Hick really help himself by withdrawing? or will there be a coalescence of the non-Hick candidates to build the coalition to take him on more directly?
Absolutely. The more the merrier. If both Garcia and Romanoff make the ballot then Duke will have a choice on who to vote for in the primary. That's a win/win for him but splits the far left which makes Hickenlooper winning even more certain which can only be consoled by the distinct probabbility that Gardner won't be running against some no name with no money.
I was thinking more along the lines of just one candidate coming out of the state assembly.
Will Hick let O&G and Big Pharm buy the election for him?
Will the voters let O&G and Big Pharm buy the election for him?
IMHO, we don't need another Joe Manchin in the Senate.
Well, not everybody shares your determination to re-elect Cory Gardener. An actual candidate who has actually won real elections appeals to me.
I do think its sad that a legitimate candidate like Romo is undercut by no name lefties.
Rally around the Hick, boys!
I actually won an election once … in tea party territory against R incumbents.
I could beat Gardner and maybe you could too but you gotta do something about that attitude first.
Nobody stays in office for life unless you're making the rules.
What election was that, kickshot? Local or state-wide?
It was local but that’s not important because it’s just a matter of scale.
What IS important is that Hick can’t beat Gardner for the same reasons that Bloomberg couldn’t beat dump. Hick has too many of the same liabilities that Gardner does.
He’s an O&G shill, afraid of the gun lobby, afraid of public appearances where he has to face constituents, etc, etc. Hick greenwashes his record and rewrites his failure in policy as “bringing the two sides together”.
Hick doesn’t even know if he’s a capitalist.
Hick would just be another Joe Manchin.
Your “actual candidate who has actually won real elections” just props up a political aristocracy. You must have loved the Bush dynasty.
I was a Republican during the bush years. You bet I loved the fact that Democrats threw away their votes on uber lefties!
But you do your way left thing, don quixote. My money is on the windmills!
Ya. That investment in SCOTUS paid dividends and still does for the warmongers. Endless war. What could be better?
I like windmills too. And the sun. When there's a huge solar energy spill it's called a nice day.
Uh Garcia went the petition route like Hickenlooper so it doesn't matter if Romanoff is the only one coming out of the state assembly. He still doesn't have any money or a win outside of his safe district. Trust the Democratic Party voters kickshot. If they vote for Hickenlooper by a lopsided margin than it is possible that they are more concerned about beating Gardner than you give them credit for. Getting rid of Gardner is not going to be easy but it can be done.
Trust the Democratic Party voters, GG.
Hick lost the caucus by a large margin. He's not viable anymore. Maybe Romanoff isn't either. There are other candidates still in the running. Any of them can still rise or fall. There is still time for surprises.
Yours and Voyageur's meatgrinder politics doesn't produce anything but career politicians. When will you have had enough of the same ol' same ol? Disco is dead.
Disco is dead. So is Trotsky! Did you see what Biden did to your Trots kyite veteran in the primaries.
Y ou lost. Big time
I won't lose unless dump stays in the WH. If it takes Biden to throw him out on the street (and into the courts where he'll spend the rest of his miserable life) so be it.
My win will be your loss, then.
So…Cory is no longer the Senates' most vulnerable Republican?
Only Hick can beat him.
Okey, Dokey.
What you've posted there makes no sense at all.
1) Gardner is the most vulnerable R.
2) Only Hick can beat him.
When someone is highly vulnerable (as you claim that Gardner is) then beating the most vulnerable candidate does not necessarily take a strong candidate (as if Hick is the strongest in the field, he's not).
Let me reiterate:
Hick can’t beat Gardner for the same reasons that Bloomberg couldn’t beat dump. Hick has too many of the same liabilities that Gardner does.
He’s an O&G shill, afraid of the gun lobby, afraid of public appearances where he has to face constituents, etc, etc. Hick greenwashes his record and rewrites his failure in policy as “bringing the two sides together”.
Hick doesn’t even know if he’s a capitalist.
Hick would just be another Joe Manchin.
All Gardner has to do is play the rope-a-dope ploy, say nothing but smile a lot and Hick will beat himself much like Udall did.
Any candidate with a brain can beat Gardner at his game and outclass the greenwashed tractor salesman.
Of course, it makes no sense. You joined us in the middle of the conversation. I was mocking our Frackenhappy friends who use both arguments, whichever is needed at the time.
You, sir/madam/other, are preaching to the choir.
Ya. I do that sometimes.
As do I.
I am always gabberflasted by such doubletalk. This site and some of its denizens are all about defending the Democratic parties’ center, so I exert pressure from the left (for what it’s worth).
Alva? Are you feeling all right? You just wrote a neutral/ positive piece about a Senate candidate who a) isn’t Hickenlooper and b) is female, a person of color, and progressive on policy.
Lorena’s great. She is and will continue to be a strong advocate for all working people. Thanks for giving credit where due on the Garcia campaign signature gathering effort. (I helped; most signatures were gathered by volunteers. ). It’s nice to have the work of a serious female candidate acknowledged (not erased, ignored, mocked or minimized) for once.
