…..to switch his registration to Unaffilliated and make a run for Governor as a “U”. He can petition on, avoid a primary fight altogether, and then use his connections in the busness community, supplemented by his own money, to mount a formidable campaign. He has the looks, the money, and according to some long-time (lefty) lobbyists is one of the most impressive legislators in a long while. He doesn’t have to get 50% of the vote in the General, just more than anybody else.
If he runs not only could he win, but he would probably pull more votes from Ritter than Penry and as such, the GOP would support that effort and happily welcome him back after – win or lose.
Beyond support from a few Billionaires Messers Bennet and McInnis never had or have lost any fundamental support within their own party ranks.
1. Marostica/Penry, either would take McInnis in a primary.
2. Romanoff, might take Bennet in a primary
3. Romanoff/Hickenlooper, if run right either would take Ritter in a primary
The cage match everyone really wants is Hickenlooper-Owens. Come on ya’ll admit it!
I flew out to DC on Wednesday and back yesterday. Same thing our Reps & Senators do every week. And by half way back – my ass was killing me. It’s a 3½ hour flight – and that’s if you don’t end up spending an hour parked on the runway waiting to take off (which we did).
I can’t imagine how much “it” must hurt doing this week after week.
… or is it a 757 she rolls in … I forget.
Hope your salesmanship worked well and you ring the cash register!!
You do know this is at the insistence of the House sergeant-at-arms? And that her predecessor, Hastert, flew on a military jet, too? And that this is because the Speaker is 2nd in line to be President after the VP?
Yeah, I thought you did. But you had to go and make the dig anyway. Loser.
back in the old days the Congressional delegation would fly out of Stapleton on Monday morning (usually not the same 6:30amsomthing flight I was on) and return to Stapleton on the 3:30something flight out of D.C. which I was on.
Rode with them a lot back then.
But times have changed and so have the flight schedules.
…and I’m at work. Oh – that’s right… I’m not Jewish.

I’ve heard they do the darnedest things.
We presented to several people at the Office for the CIO for the Treasury Department. They were listing initiatives in different divisions where we could save them a lot of time & money (including the IRS).
They are pushing our info out to the people that they think will find us useful. And they want us to come back to do a larger presentation to a lot of IT people they will pull in from the various divisions.
All in all, a very successful trip. And it’s nice to see that government departments are actively looking for better ways to get their work done.
My first call to Treasury was less than 2 months ago. And we’re now on the road to getting seriously evaluated.
My first call to the State of Colorado was 2 years ago – and I have had no luck getting them to even listen to how we can save them a bunch of time and money.
When Ritter claims that the State is as efficient as possible, he’s full of it. Because if they insist on continuing to keep doing everything the same way they did it 2 years ago – they by definition are passing up on better ways to get their work done.
