Whom should Newsome have sued? KOAA for exposing his on-the-job drinking and driving? The Gazette for exposing his casual attitude toward travel expenses? Seriously, what would a lawsuit have accomplished other than drawing attention to his difficulties and making him look like a whiner?
I’ve seen and heard more than maybe I should say… but from what I have seen Newsome had grounds to sue KOAA for libel (note that they have ceased pursuing the story at this point) I think he chose not to avoid looking like a whiner but I think he could have avoided that. Just my two cents.
but a Newsome lawsuit for libel would have been immediately thrown out of any court in the state. He’s a public figure and the story was, at least marginally, about his execution of his public duties. The libel threshold in those circumstances is extraordinarily high, and even Newsome knows that.
KOAA has “ceased pursuing” the story because it’s old news, it happened, they documented it, that’s it.
Unless you have any information other than “from what you’ve heard” (courthouse gossip is notoriously reliable, isn’t it?) that KOAA is backing off its story, you’re just hurling rumors in the face of videotape. One of which usually wins.
…with what will actually happen.
If you’re not going to at least take a stab with some guesses it’s not very nice to critical of my evaluation! lol.
But I always take it with a large grain of salt when someone’s estimated result is what they want to happen.
My guess is Lamborn wins by at least 5 because if his internal polls showed it being closer he’d be out there campaigning.
On Doug Bruce, who knows. I’m hopeful that the people of Colo Spgs will want better but if I was betting I would bet he wins.
Posted 10 days ago in the open thread, when thoughts turned toward predictions:
Just one that likes 1 or 2 beers on the way home.
1 or 2 pitchers.
I called this six months ago.
Lamborn by 8 points.
Now using your scale of wishful thinking, it would be:
LAMBORN 60
RAYBURN 29
CRANK 10
RON PAUL 1
It’s in the neighborhood of 48% to 27% for Crank and 25% for Rayburn. 48% is still an incredible improvement over where he was two years ago.
With the exception of Newsome, it’s going to be a very good night for incumbents. Both Dougs will win their party’s nominations.
