I have this theory that a candidate’s success can be measured as inversely proportional to the number of diary entries that campaign’s workers feel compelled to post on various blogs in a desperate bid to discredit their opponent.
I wanted to thank you for proving my theory correct. If you hurry you can still get this up on squarestate and dailykos.
Sincerely,
blah 🙂
Jon Hotaling and Doug Lamborn have both been thoroughly discredited and they’ve done it easily to themselves and in full public view.
After this election, no matter the outcome, Doug Lamborn’s stock in the Republican party in the 5th CD will be as that of a pariah.
Don’t think the tongues aren’t wagging now at his bumbling campaign and his allowing Hotaling to hang on when, instead, he should have publicly hanged Hotaling, in a proverbial manner, and fired him long ago to save his skin and reputation. If Lamborn had done that, he might have resurrected his reputation and been brought back into acceptance as a legitimate candidate instead of being unwillingly tolerated as the devil the 5th CD Republicans have to live with in this election cycle but who cannot wait to exorcise in 2008–should he win in 2006.
The fact that we’re even having this “conversation” this late in the game is the testimonial to how badly Hotaling and Lamborn have been discredited, how badly Pat Toomey and the Club for Growth, Mark Hotaling and the Colorado Christian Coalition have also been discredited.
How could all these parties have f’d up a campaign so badly that has been a walkaway seat for Republicans since the 5th CD was created proves my point of their being discredited?! It is an even greater discredit when the vice-president of the United States has to come flying in on Air Force Two 4 days before the general election to try to save a seat from the Democrat column. “What idiots mismanaged a campaign so badly that I have to take my time here when I should have been using it elsewhere?” must surely be a question in Cheney’s mind.
But, I return to the premise that it is better to have no office but be held in high esteem as a man of honor and dignity than to hold high office but having gained it at the expense of a discredited reputation.
Personally, BLAH, I feel very sorry for Doug Lamborn. I really do mean that.
Doug Lamborn is not an especially bright man. He is not articulate. One winces when witnessing his public speech, feeling awkwardly embarrassed to see his painful delivery. While I sincerely believe he deserves to lose this race, I genuinely hurt to see him humiliated in the one clip from the Canon City debate where he literally got the expression of a dolt on his face, blank, expressionless and obviously unable to process thoughts to respond to Fawcett. I do not enjoy prize fights. I do not enjoy seeing a man getting pummeled in the ring and seeing him being emasculated while screaming throngs on the sidelines celebrate in his humiliation. I did not enjoy seeing Fawcett doing that to him in the intellectual ring. It left me feeling Lamborn is the personification of a country bumpkin, who has been played for the fool by interest brokers, fat cats, if you will, such as the Eastern Establishmen Club for Growth power brokers, who look down their long noses at him, the country boy from a farm in Kansas who didn’t graduate from “Hawvard”, clucking their tongues to themselves, insincerely patting him on the back, and shelving him just as soon as they can after he loses the race if not in 06 then for sure in 08. Quite unfortunate, but sincerely the way I see Doug’s future played out. It is a sad ending for a man to go out that way but, when it was bought the way it was, it is deserved. Regretfully I say that, but, he will deserve it.
Hate to break it to you, but we’re not having a “conversation”. I’m merely posting to upset you, and then sitting back and laughing at the 5000 word rants you post back. To call it a conversation would be to imply I really care at all about what you have to say.

Lamborn is in trouble. He is an embarrassment to the 5th CD and that cannot be seriously questioned. Cheney’s doing his job like a good soldier but no matter what you do, do NOT think that Lamborn and Hotaling are viewed as rising stars in the Republican party. The big boys with talent are having to try to clean up their mess.
Doug ain’t gettin’ any, wonder why he cares about her so much.
