A bit awkwardly worded from state Sen. Nancy Spence, but her point is unmistakable–from this week’s
I am in no way a backer of McInnis, but Spence attacking him is ridiculous.
I’d like to add that the “fighting for enhanced environmental protection” is a red herring. Scooter Canyons—I mean Colorado Canyons—I mean McInnis Canyons—were only created in order to prevent a National Park Service designation and the enhanced protections that go along with a NPS designation. I’m not saying that that a BLM Monument is a bad thing, but it wasn’t exactly done out of his love for the environmental community. That said, he is a step better than most of his GOP brethren.
Spence is hoping that she can attach herself to Penry’s rising popularity to save her own job.
How / why does Sen. Spence need to “save her own job”? Her term lasts until 2012, then she’s term-limited.
She is in the Senate leadership. Pissing off or not supporting Penry would most likely cost her dearly…
I don’t seem to recall Penry rejecting any of the egregious statements made by his colleagues during the last legislative session.
The state GOP seems convinced that the “negative aspects” (which have led to the party’s complete loss of control in Colorado) are 1) corruption and Washington Insider-itis (DeLay) and 2) acting too much like Democrats (McInnis is the poster boy for this). Penry rejects those.
you should check out the video of Penry on Adam Schrager’s show immediately after the fracas to seem him condemn the remarks.
It was callous, totally callous of me to suggest otherwise. I’ll give Penry the credit he’s due: he’s awful sensitive, awful empathetic, for a Republican.
Has Scooter McInnis gotten even one favorable press story in the last six months? I think the last pro-McInnis story was in 2005 when he and Ritter posed with Tom Strickland outside of Hogan and Hartson.
Someone should tell the Scooter that the increased late fees were widely publicized. Was the late fee on the car he purchased with campaign funds?
McInnis’ Web site lists only two, both brief stories about McInnis endorsing the Glade Reservoir project, from the Loveland and Greeley papers.
It’s kind of like Bob Schaffer’s “news about Bob” section on his Web site last spring — there was so little good press about Bob that the campaign ran, to its credit, a decidedly mixed story from one of the Fort Collins weeklies, and not much else.
If Scooter has a press adviser whatever he is paying him or her is too much.
Then, why did you run for your seat again, Nancy? You should step aside.
