I know that Jared Polis is running for the D (pun intended).
I was quite happy that George Brauchler would be running for R. Now he is out ( I meant to post this a while back).
Who is going to run in his place? We need to at least try and get the state back.

I hate being a pessimist for the first reply to this thread, but Polis will be the next Governor, that being said, if I'm still in CO, I'll vote against him.

You and me both. I'm very tired of the liberal leadership this state has had over the last several terms
I think Thomas Jefferson had a quote about that. Arbor day or something.

Tancredo is running.

Brauchler decided to switch to Atty Gen when Tancredo announced intent to run for Gov.
I think Brauchler was best of the bunch, wish he would not have switched.
Am a big Tancredo fan but think his participation in Governor race is stupid move and an example of Colorado Republican Party's ability to fuck up as a group.
If you're unarmed, you are a victim
I preferred Brauchler too.

Tom Tancredo has proven in the past that he can draw about a third of the Republican votes, but can't draw enough to actually win the election.
It could be a different story in the next election, but it could also be enough to ensure a Democrat is elected if the Democrats can rally around one candidate.
Could be another example of the Republicans once again shooting themselves in the foot.

Correction- Brauchler got out when Cynthia Coffman (the current AG) declared intent to run.
Here's the full list of R candidates:
Steve Barlock, activist
Cynthia Coffman, Colorado Attorney General
Lew Gaiter, Larimer County Commissioner
Greg Lopez, former Mayor of Parker and candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2016
Victor Mitchell, former State Representative
Doug Robinson, businessman
Jim Rundberg, businessman
Walker Stapleton, Colorado State Treasurer
Tom Tancredo, former U.S. Representative, candidate for Governor in 2014 and Constitution Party nominee for Governor in 2010

2010 - Tancredo drew 36% and would have drawn more if the (R) hadn't run the fraud Maes who drew 11%.

I want a freedom respecting Gov. What do you think the liberals will say if they start repealing some of the gun control laws they passed during Hickenloopers administration?

Liberals will do what they always do...they'll lie.
I kinda like Tom but he's unwinnable now. I wasn't keen on Brauchler and without much research or inside, I think Coffman may have the best shot.
Polis would be a disaster for Colorado. Worse than Hick or Ritter, on par with Bloomberg, Cuomo, and Obama, et. al. It may be time to start leaning on the state party, however insular they are.
The Colorado Republican party has the same issue as the national GOP: They are totally out of touch with the actual conservatives, doing business as they've always done it in their ol' boy network. If they can't shake this inertia that has built up over the last 50 years or more, they're gonna get spanked again. My ideal candidate will come down firmly in favor of personal liberty(including gun rights), TABOR, and fiscal responsibility, and be very neutral on hot button social issues like gay marriage and abortion. Someone that still looks at the job as serving the voters, rather than the other way around. Of course, he or she will ride their unicorn down the 16th Street Mall, handing out gold bars...

^^ That's pretty much spot on in terms of the national GOP. You need look no further than the current occupant of the White House to know it. The republicans are as out of touch with conservatives as progressives are with reality.
How swampy is Stapleton?
Probably a strong one. That's why the local media is making a fuss about his namesake being a KKK member and want to strip the name from the hood that occupies the former airport site.
Stapleton bad, KKK member, that's all the low info voters in the metro will know because of local media
He had a little baggage and some bad blood in the Repub party, but it's a crying shame we didn't get Beauprez (or Tancredo although I preferred Beauprez) in 2014 after the BS gun laws were passed (lost by 68k votes, 2.7% - (or 2006 for that matter but that was a longshot).

Yeah I remember that. Conservatives need to get on the same page for a win.
Coffman has been sprinting to the left since his district was redrawn to include a chunk of Aurora. He's political Play-Doh and will do whatever it takes to stay in office.

Same page, they can't get on the same side of a healthcare bill. The R's and those who profess to be conservative are more concerned about their lobbyist paycheck than the people who elected them.
While the D's worry they haven't pandered to enough special gender, immigrant and POC's.

Guess that's what happens when one tries to dualize the whole "no better friend, no worse enemy". He's a discredit to the US Army and the USMC.
"Oh... this would engage fully with reality? Let me just change my position then..." Whatever, douche.

We need a new crop of conservatives. Not this old dried up pukes that only care about power and don't care about what they have to do or say to get it.

The liberal media will tar him the same way they tarred Ted Stephens and Roy Moore. They have seen they can depress the Republican vote by publishing anything they can spin negatively (sometimes it's actually true). I loved Tom in Congress but he has already ruined one Senate election and I fear he'll do the same for the gubernatorial election, ceding the state to yet another unqualified incompetent extreme ideologue.

You're conflating Republicans and Conservatives.
Conservatives need to get their shit together and either reform or replace the Republican party (which I think has a better chance of working than expecting Republicans to get their shit together).
The Constitution party needs to recognize and seize upon the opportunity, waging a war on the republicans for hearts and minds. However, most republicans are not conservatives. They are neo-liberals who wish for the veneer of conservatism because they despise the outright flamboyance of the democrats, similar to the alpha/beta faggot dynamic of the Nazi party.

Indeed. I almost wrote that post with "Republicans" then realizing who the Republicans are. Conservatives need to band together. Generally I vote Republican as a conservative seeing it as the lesser of two evils and knowing that the republican arena is going to be more aligned with my thinking than the democrats while at the same time having a winning chance versus an independent party.

I'm the exact same way. Or as Ross Kaminsky puts it "I'm an independent voter, but I will never vote democrat." I guess I would say I identify as a Conservative Constitutionalist libertarian.
Arapahoe County Caucuses are coming up this Tuesday. I have never been to a caucus before but likely will this year. I view it as a chance to learn and possibly get involved in the upcoming November Midterm Elections.

Whatever the worst thing the republicans could do here, they will one up that. Tancredo running sounds like a horrible idea for the second or third time. I think the GOP leaders in this state are democrat plants.
Well I'm now a Precinct Leader so that is all about to change. (tongue firmly in cheek) ;)
What can you do, but get out there and fight for what you believe?
This guy gives me hope, running against Coffman.

I've heard other Colorado Conservative Representatives on the radio, so they do exist...

Tancredo dropped out a few weeks back.

Interesting. Coffman has shown himself to have been transformed into a political animal that will say and do anything to retain power. His principles are written on an Etch-O-Sketch.

I love Tancredo, you guys also need to sweep out the coward cons and the leftist from the state house as well.

You need to concentrate on your own state.

He does have a point about kicking out the leftist. But how do we win over the vote with out discriminating against the fraudulent and dead voters. I don't want to seem harsh but those guys vote party lines and the only way to get rid of them is to have them removed from the rolls. Not that too many dead or fraudulent mail in voters are going to turn out to protest.
