      1. But Team Jena was happy to send out a couple of fund raising appeals saying Tina was running. 

        <s>

        Surely they wouldn't jump the gun and say Peters was running before all the paperwork was done … right? 

        </s>

      2. The thought has crossed my mind that TP's candidacy (official or not) for SOS is maybe along the lines of a bait and switch anyway. She's simply so horribly wrong for the job that the probable GOP frontrunner would look normal by comparison.

          1. Let us not forget with whom she runs. Didn't she announce her non-existent campaign on a Steve Bannon podcast…or so? Tina is a useful idiot in the plans of others…but she digs the notoriety.

    1. If there are contributions, there is supposed to be a committee formed and registered.

      Beyond kwtree's list, a candidate also has to be a registered member of the party by the first business day of the year and has to "To be named as a candidate for designation by assembly, a person must provide notice as follows no less than 30 days before the assembly, unless otherwise provided by party rules. The Colorado Republican Assembly is April 9.

  1. I enjoy satire but the joke is getting old.  Isn’t it time to stop pretending Heidi Ganahl is running for governor and list the real candidates?

    There must be one!

    1. Be patient, . . .

      . . . the March Republican caucuses will no doubt be unveiling their next Dan Maes (. . . or, who knows, maybe even their previous Dan Maes)?

      1. Gray-Ginsburg does have an interesting thought about dealing with traffic congestion on I-70 by running a railroad into South Park and then over to Summit County.

        We had that once: the Denver, South Park & Pacific narrow gauge railroad went up Waterton Canyon; then up the North Fork of the South Platte River over Kenosha Pass and down to Como. At Como; where one can still see the old engine roundhouse; one branch went over Boreas Pass and down to Breckenridge. Unfortunately, the route was abandoned in 1937 and Strontia Springs Dam & reservoir now blocks the route in Waterton Canyon.

  2. Alex W*lker is a shitty joke of a candidate. Supposedly running as a Democrat against Boebert in CD3, his “campaign” so far consists of a video of literal shit raining down on people of color. I’m not linking to it because I don’t want to drive traffic his way. 
     

    a) He hasn’t filed with FEC to run.

    b) His website is so crappy, public schools filter it and won’t allow users to navigate to it. 
    c) my assumption is that he’s a fake candidate hoping to make $$ via  publicity, and also to stain fellow Democratic candidates for CD3.

    D) his video is literally nauseating, and you’ll never get that 60 seconds of time back.

    1. The first I have heard of Alex Walker was literally a few hours ago when a friend of mine who lives on the east coast asked about him. Thank you for letting us know what a shitty (in every sense of the word) candidate he is.

      1. Oh. My. God.

        That was bad.  Really bad.  The two props I will give that video is it got the characterization of Low-Rent Barbie right on the money.

         

        But, holy mother of God.

        1. In the last half century, we've gone from LBJ's notorious daisy commercial to the racist Willie Horton ad to the ghastly commercials trashing the late Max Cleland for not standing up for our military to the race-baiting stuff that came out of the Trump campaign to now a literal shit storm from Mr. Walker. 

          Is anyone really surprised? I'm not.

    1. He probably actually is a Republican, or a Libertarian. He claims to be for “free choice”, but the context is mask/not mask. “ Small government that actually works” is a time-worn Reaganite meme.

      The “shit in the history book” could be either pro or anti-CRT. 

      But he’s already getting more free media than any other Dem or moderate Republican  running for CD3.
