Fort Collins turnout in a presidential year, plus an aggressive campaign operation in Larimer County means Polis will crush it in 2012. All Lundberg’s ever done to campaign is put up signs and hand out leaflets in the churches (and heaped damnation on preachers when they don’t let him).
Lundberg is a darling of the county GOP central committee and some right wing congregations. Apart from that he’s just one more whackjob who thinks God sent him to earth to bully people.
Even Lundberg has to know the reality of this. The race just gives him a higher pedestal to preach from. The end result will be an already demoralized Larimer Republican Party that will spend the next decade remaining demoralized.
Well, he would have to carpet bag in as he lives in Weld County, I believe and isn’t in the 2nd even under the new lines.
What a ridiculous thing for Brandon Shaffer to even consider. 🙂
carpetbaggers. Ask Bob Beauprez (or the people in the 7th who voted for him).
There’s no room for a sensible Republican like Hank Brown in today’s GOP.
This crowd thinks Ronald Reagan was a commie, at least if you outline Reagan’s record without mentioning his name.
Joseph Coors might be the toughest opponent Ed Pelrmutter has faced. If Eric Weissman can get past Lundberg in a primary he might be tough as well. Didn’t Hank Brown start out as a State Rep. from Fort Collins? He’s not that much older than Coors.
He’s an up and comer. Gonna give Perlmutter more than he can handle. Republicans are going to own CD 7 the way they own CD 5.
because Boulderites and others in CD2 are going to rush to the polls in droves to vote for an investment banker. Yeah.
Will indeed be the toughest opponent Perlmutter has ever faced. Perlmutter may not have ever faced a tough opponent before, same as Polis.
I love how Pols spins multiple Republicans vying to take on Polis as evidence he is invincible. Pols must get some excellent Boulder medical marijuana.
Wait, is that the sound of you throwing Ryan Frazier under the bus? Cold, man. Cold.
He shit all over Scott McInnis the other day.
The only job less rewarding than being a Republican candidate has to be being a former, losing Republican candidate.
On second thought, there’s not very many former winning Republicans that these Colorado County flaks publicly admire . . . campaign donors, however, are always welcome (so long as they keep their yaps shut).
He is articulate, he has thought through the issues thoroughly, he has built and sold companies, and will definitely give Polis the opportunity to make the progressive case against the conservative/libertarian case. He has a real reason for running and the fact that he is a so-called political novice should not be a rap on anyone who feels called to serve in a house of representatives.
Biggest rap on Eric is not the investment banker label but his height.
I wonder if his interest in being in Congress is waning. He is 36, has a new baby, is richer than God, and no doubt has many varied interests. If the GOP remains the majority in the U.S. House — and I suspect they will — being a member of the minority really stinks and truly limits what one can do.
Boredom and restlessness, not a Republican, may do in Polis some time this decade.
’12, ’14, ’16 ’18. Then he can run for Senate or Gov. Or, or President
Whatever made you wonder that–besides wishful thinking?
Here’s a guy (whom I don’t know personally) riding the crest of human happiness: pressing the frontiers of American individual freedom with a supportive husband and precious new baby, contributing to the greater good of his society with his national service (repeat: national. That’s got to be an helluva ego booster), enjoying financial security that even Washingtonians envy, championing off-mainstream causes that show off his testosterone and provide more than a few shits and giggles. Why, oh why, would his interest in Congress be waning?
Oh. wait. Real possibility: He’s smart. Very smart. The only way Polis could leave the House is upward. This guy’s headed somewhere alright, and not down to the rec room to watch TV because his arthritis is catching up with him and he’s feelin’ all down and whiney becuase the Republicans (currently) hold the majority. Polis is sitting where every pol wishes he/she were: on top, and still nowhere to go but up.
