Norton? Norton!!!

  • 17 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

You’ve been discussing this in the open thread already, but we thought we’d elevate it to the front page (yeah, we’re a little slow on the uptake today).

Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez is reportedly set to choose Jane Norton as his running mate. You may remember Norton – she’s the CURRENT lieutenant governor.

This hasn’t been confirmed, but it would be a weird thing for Norton to accept after deciding not to run for governor or congress herself. Maybe she just doesn’t want to move her office.

Beauprez needs to pick a strong running mate – though you could argue whether this was a strong choice – because he has reportedly said that he plans to spend most of the month of September in Washington D.C. working at his day job of being a congressman. If he’s going to spend the last full month before ballots go out in D.C., he’ll need a charismatic, vote-getting lieutenant governor campaigning for him in Colorado.

  1. What’s the perception of Norton on the Western Slope?  I know it was very positive once, but with the extent to which sportsmen and various communities are getting fed up with Intererior ramming oil and gas leases down their throats, I wonder if she’s become vulnerable because of her time running the department in a similar fashion.

    1. Maybe even Both Ways sees the proverbial writing on the wall, and figures he might as well attend to his day job, do what he can legislatively for Bush during the final days of the last Republican Congress for some time to come (with any luck, we will not see another one for at least 40 years), and then start looking for work as lobbyist post-Jan. 1, 2007.

    1. These days, isn’t Mike Norton focusing his fundraising efforts on trying to recover $78,000 in litigation costs from Mark Holtzman in connection with his legal challenge which kept Holtzman off the primary ballot?

  2. Over. Lost. Finitto. Dead as a doornail. Nial in the coffin. Suck the air out of the room. Go home with your ball. It’s done. That’s it. Fat lady has sung.

    Say “Governor Ritter”.

  3. For a year everyone on here, to a person, has been saying that it’s going to be Gigi Dennis.  Colorado Pols should be renamed bandwagon.com. 

    Not coincidentally, you’re all wrong again.
