…deserve a lot of credit for fundraising our Party out of debt – going into 2010 with funds, rather than debt, is going to help our good Party tremendously
to do with the question posed–is there a better indicator, Ali?
and that’s how Dick got them out of the red.
http://coloradopols.com/showDi…
Someone had to go to Arnold with cup in hand begging for $$$.
We can call him a win-win situation!
Dick Wadhams and co got us out of debt – I love him for it
As far as GJ is concerned – Laura Bradford worked very very hard – that was the difference
And not for GOTV.
and cutting fundraising while paying for two massive, “off-book” campaigns.
I agree it’s not the example DickWad should look at. Buescher won two elections in a Republican-dominated district because he was well-known, ran a good campaign and the GOP ran a complete nutcase. Bradford can be called many things, but nutcase isn’t one of them.
In addition, by the time the election rolled around last year, the oil and gas boom was starting to bust. COGA and the industry had the electorate well-primed to blame Ritter and the Democrats for wrecking the boom through new regs. Never mind that the new regs hadn’t been approved by the legislature yet, and were months away from taking effect. Never mind that the price of natural gas was falling like a rock.
Lastly, remember that the top radio programs in the Grand Junction, by far, are Rushbo and Hannity. O’Reilly and Beck are tops on TV. And Palin campaigned in Grand Junction.
That Buescher lost by only 500 votes or so was amazing.
But the race had nothing to do with Republican chances statewide. Not every county has an easily-misled electorate as Mesa.
I am surprised, suuuprised, that BB has not drawn a more credible GOP challenger. Not because I have anything against him, but because, you know…..
There are too few credible GOP challengers to go around.
He’ll raise a lot of money.
His biggest problem is that he’s always suing on behalf of crooks.
Maybe that’s where his money will come from.
But as a lawyer, you don’t always get to choose. When my youngest daughter was in high school, she was a defense attorney in “teen court.” In one trial, the teen jury gave her client a much worse sentence than the teen DA asked for.
The judge (a real one and former Public Defender) took her aside and said, “Don’t take it personally. As a defense attorney, you rarely get the privilege of representing nice people.”
That describes Gessler to a “T.” Advocate for scumbags.
that Gessler hasn’t chosen his clientele.
n/t
Oil and gas fueled 527’s and 501c4’s were just warming up with Buescher’s race and the GarCo commissioner races in 2008. McInnis was part of the action (that is why he will win the primary.) Now they are going to use the same successful campaign framework against targeted Democrats like Ritter, Curry, and Schwartz. If Democratic consultants would study those particular races from 2008 maybe they could give better advice to their 2010 clients.
…and I’m feeling much better than I was about Josh Penry, among others.
Mr. Wadhams may have used a bad “indicator” (I’m not sure one way or another), but the GOP-sweep is gonna happen.
Prepare yourselves.
You are so consistently wrong that if you think the GOP has it in the bag, you’re probably actually in deep doo-doo.
Good use of vocabulary. Welcome to an adult conversation.
…when he was running against Bonzo in the N.H. primary. That was also the race where Bush talked about his Big Mo and Little Mo while Reagan made his famous “I’m paying for this microphone” sound bite on TV.
I guess i must have missed it.
By the way, some people just don’t like to curse. While I might not be one of them, I applaud them for trying to be adults with respect to appropriate use of language.
