to Nicholson and his distinguished career, but do we really need another old white man in the US Senate?
No, you’re right…I’d prefer a middle-aged white guy. 😛
He’s too old and needs to make some $$$$.
He’s served his country well.
Isn’t he too tainted after his ’02 House run?
If the GOP is looking for a non-white male candidate, it’s either Joe Rogers, Bob Martinez or Ed Jones. Isn’t that about it?
I’d like to think that we don’t have to import diversity…
I think Roger’s problems with fundraising reporting might hurt him, but people do have a tendancy to overlook such things if they happened a while ago. ’02 was a little while ago, so maybe that’s long enough.
Personally, I’d root for Ed. Personable, reasonable, all in all a good guy. Too bad he isn’t in the Senate anymore and I hope he runs for something again some day
There is precedent for the GOP recycling (and who says they’re not ecologically-friendly?) their Congressional candidates. Remember, Lil Ricky O’Donnell was first runner up to Both Ways in C.D. 7 in ’02.
Why not re-use Rogers and Zakem as well.
Yes it’s DoD, not VA. But people don’t know that. And the VA system has had some major problems too. I don’t think he can win, especially as a Republican, with that still in the news.
I mean, I figure I’d get in on the wild, outlandish speculation too.
What I’m really waiting for is the rumor that Terry Considine is being recruited by the “party moderates” to run against Schaffer. (ROFLMAO!)
He’s been so successful as a Rep he figures it’s time to move on. His plan is 8 years as a Senator and then run for President after Tancredo’s second term ends.
that the republicans would have brought Neil or Marvin Bush in, and declared them republican candidates.
Nicholson is a life long Catholic and was the Ambassador to the Vatican…..where the Pope recently announced that only catholics count with Christ…there would go over real big with the Dobson crowd…
Benson, Allard, Owens and Wadhams….the Four Horsemen……I don’t know what they are planning…other than Rommey’s nomination and election….but somehow I don’t see Schaffer or Nicholson headlining their senatorial effort….
here is a name out of the blue…Shawn Mitchell.
PS John Kennedy was against appointing an ambassador to the Vatican….
I don’t have a clue if Wadhams is supporting Rommey…my mistake….the names just rolled off and I liked that Four Horseman title….made an assumption for which I have no facts…..Are Republican Party State Chairs supposed to be neutral until a nominee has been chosen? Aren’t Democrats?
Here we go again! Just as the rumors of Scott McInnis, Josh Penry and Bill Owens running against B.S. for the Senate nomination started and stopped on ColoradoPols, we’e treated to the latest rumor of a challenger for B.S.: Jim Nicholson.
You can do better than this rumor! Nicholson is tainted goods with the scandalous condition of the V.A. hospitals in this country.
So of course everyone wants a primary. The thing is, the Repubs need a very visible primary in this state between a wingnut and a moderate. That is part of the process of the moderates reclaiming the party.
Guess that will have to wait till ’10

ps – for those that are curious programming uses “x = 3” to assign the value 3 to x and “x == y” to test if x and y are equivilent. Very different operations.
Is that enough time for the state GOP to acquire a full-grown RINO to run a primary against a wing nut?
How about getting Bentley Rayburn appointed as the VA Secretary now that Nicholson is leaving? Rayburn knows vet issues and supports a National Cemetery for the Pikes Peak Region – something Nicholson didn’t support. This would clear the hurdle for Crank to run against Lamborn without the split vote if Rayburn ran against Lamborn as well.
