It seems weird that Roll Call would have word on this before anyone else. It could be their reporter goofed, and isn’t clued in that Bill Long pulled out months ago.
Long was considering a run at one point, but as far as we know he decided against it.
I don’t think that’s what the Roll Call article says, unless we’re missing some part you didn’t quote. Long’s name is mentioned in a list of candidates. Since he was mentioned early on as a potential candidate, and toyed with the idea before deciding against it, I’m guessing some DC writer who didn’t know much about the race just scanned past articles and noticed his name. He could have just as well stuck in Brandon Shaffer’s name, too.
So I think the first sentence is misleading; Roll Call did NOT say Long was “throwing his hat into the ring” — it just included him (likely erroneously) on a list.
I was the one who said he was throwing his hat into the ring, but only because of this sentence in the article
“Also running in the Democratic primary are Eric Eidsness, a former Republican; Betsy Markey, a former aide to Sen. Ken Salazar (D) who has been endorsed by her ex-boss; and Bent County Commissioner Bill Long.”
That had Long listed as a candidate for CD4 long after I e-mailed them to tell them he dropped out. They did make severla of the other updates I offered though.
The do a state-by-state of federal and statewide races. It is interesting to look of some of the weird things that are elected in some states.
I’m no political expert, but if Mr. Long does get in the race, doesn’t it “dilute” the votes even more. Those who like Angie are going to support her, and now that there is another candidate, the votes that may have pushed Markey or the others passed Angie will be split even more, right?
Similar to what’s happening in CD – 5 with Crank, Lamborn and Rayburn.
Thoughts?
A lot of us are desperate for a credible Dem candidate. At this point we’re not terribly picky, anyone who could beat MM will do.
So if someone shows up that can resonate with voters, can raise money, and can campaign effectively, I think you will see most people jump to her/him.

Dave, what would it take for you to vote for MM2.0? Or if that is unacceptable, who is the most electable Dem right now?
MM is so awful in so many ways. But let’s see. If she voted to bring the troops home (hard deadlines, not requests) and was grand marshall for the gay pride parade, then I would vote for her – if I lived up there.
I just want a Dem that can beat her.
Dave, what would it take for you to vote for MM2.0? Or if that is unacceptable, who is the most electable Dem right now?
. . . that might do the trick. She might even make it MM3.0 if she disassociated from Hotaling. What do you think, Mr. Galt?
I am not familiar with Project X, what is it? Besides that, um no. Like most of your theories CD-5 line, this one is also ridiculous. I am quite sure that Musgrave would not gain or lose a single vote if she said anything negative or positive about Jon.
