Any chance that there would ever be a debate among Democrat candidates with Jeff Crank, Jon Caldara and Mike Rosen moderating it? No, the dems would come apart in a fit of cursing and spittle and all the candidates would pull out, but somehow Lynn Bartels, Kurtis Lee and Chuck Plunkett are "fair and balanced moderators"? My ass.

Didn't get a chance to watch it live so, watching it now.

Best answer of the night?

Steve House on illegal immigration (paraphrased): "As governor I can't put up a fence around Colorado. If I could it would be to keep people from the federal government out!"

[Bailey Guns]

Mike Kopp was my tentative choice for governor before the debate and he solidified that position tonight. In my opinion he came across as the most level-headed and the most conservative. He's as pro-gun as Brophy and he's stronger on illegal immigration than Brophy. Kopp is also very pro-business.

I'm disappointed that Tancredo and Gessler chose not to participate in this debate.

Jason Clark...arrogant and alienating.

Does anyone have a link to this? I was able to catch it last night.
