Who's your favorite for CO governor for 2010.

Dan Maes is my favorite http://www.danmaes.com/

Hickenlooper, more of the same.
McInnis, listens to what Maes says, then says he is for that too.

[sniper7]

Maes is at the top of my list for now although I haven't done enough research yet.
hicky can suck it.

[ronaldrwl]

Who's the most conservative canidate?

[Irving]

Gunsmoke has a large McInnis banner that covers their entire sign. It put a bad taste in my mouth, but I have to remember to look into things myself.

[Marlin]

Looper would be an improvement over the current occupant.. Of course a dead cat would be an improvment over the looper... [ROFL1]

+1

[jim02]

Who's the most conservative canidate?

In my opinion that would be Maes. McInnis appears to me to be the republican parties "next man in line for his turn to run" person.
I have been listening to all their appearances on local talk radio for the past year or more as they show up on the shows talking about any issues.
Caplis and Silverman and Peter Boyles is where I have listed to them.

Forget Hickenlooperduper

[rhineoshott]

Dan Maes is the man. I've done the research. He's the most conservative of all. "the only reason we should ever have to give for owning guns is the second ammendment!" he says.

Plus the fact that the media's trying to ignore him even though he's 40% in the polls...shows that he's good.

Look at McInnis's voting record...[Mad]. It's trash!

I've met both of them in person. McGinnis is all cheese.

[Marlin]

Forget Hickenlooperduper

Never had him in mind.. You read the whole thing?

[ronaldrwl]

Never had him in mind.. You read the whole thing?

Yea, but it sounded like you might settle :) if the dead cat decided to not run.

[Marlin]

Well, I do do believe that the Looper would be much better than the current occupant,, I wouldn't vote for him myself, but, He would be better..

Maes does sound like the man to me,, unfortunatly,,I really don't see him getting through the primaries..

[Irving]

Maes does sound like the man to me,, unfortunatly,,I really don't see him getting through the primaries..

Well not with an attitude like that you quitter.

[Marlin]

Nope, Just a realist.. Just saying..

[Irving]

I'm going to get some soap and write "QUITTER" and "RITTER LOVER" on your rear glass on my way home tonight.


Then I'll be too lazy to even vote when the time comes and you can call me a hypocrite.

[Marlin]

Nope, just that "centrist republicans" out number the small "L" liberitarians that seem to populate the right wing of the republican party.



Oh, and the last guy that came near my window with soap,,walks with a limp and has to wear othropedic undershirts.. [Tooth]

[Mtn.man]

Forget Hickenlooperduper

I think Hick would have blown Obama if he'd had the chance.

[Irving]

lol @ orthopedic undershirts.

Every time I see a truck that I think is yours, it is always a Mexican with a cowboy hat. One day I'll see you around town. I've mostly forgotten what you look like though, so it might have already happened. I'll just stay on the look out for Tom Selick driving a Blazer.

[Marlin]

I think Hick would have blown Obama if he'd had the chance.


No doubt.. Though Ritter would have gone triple X on him, made Debbie does Dallas look like a PG rated teenage romp..

[Irving]

Yeah, then I'd get an email all about how Ritter "teaming up" with Obama (in a cheap motel) is going to be great for Colorado.

[Marlin]

I'll just stay on the look out for Tom Selick driving a Blazer.


Don't think there is much of a chance for mistaking me for Tom... [LOL]

[jim02]

Maes does sound like the man to me,, unfortunatly,,I really don't see him getting through the primaries..


He did surprisingly well in the last primary, make sure you show up at the next primary and we can make sure hes on the ballot.

[rhineoshott]

He's got my vote at the state convention.

[roberth]

Dan Maes gets my vote.

McGinnis is a RINO and parrots what Maes says.

I hope the looper runs into a couple of his illegal alien pals.

[Mtn.man]

anyone voting hicky is a Looper..... he's no better than Tax Man Ritter and he supports the Mayors against guns (illegal) thingy

[claimbuster]

I like Looper but as long as he belongs to Bloomberg's little club he will not get any support from me.

[jerrymrc]

After looking at some of the polls I do believe Mr Maes has a real chance. Don't know unless ya try.

[buffalobo]

Maes is a good man. But I plan to vote for

I would not complain much if Maes or one of the Libertarians were to get elected. Despise the rest.

Yeah but how much Moola has he got to support his campaing?

That is what it's all about anyway.

[buffalobo]

I don't care how much money he has for his campaign. I will donate a little once I have locked him in as my man. That is all I can do on that. Otherwise I will vote for principle, not some turd who stinks less than some other turd. A vote for the lesser of two evils is still a vote for evil.

We will see no improvement in our country until we return to a principled society. Primarily the principles of individual liberty and personal responsibility.

You're a romantic. Those values dissappeared completely from the bulk of American society about the time Reagan left office.

[Bitter Clinger]

Have not looked it to it until just now, seems that Dan Maes is the man! But he completly ailenates two groups on his website (not saying I disagree) state employees, by wanting to disband their union (agree). And the Dept. of education by wanting to hold them accountable for students performance(agree). That is gonna hurt him big time. Not to mention his stance, well mine as well, on illeagal immiagration.

And yet you reference and advocate for liberty in your sig line.


Being that they were here once and could be again.

[OgenRwot]

Gotta go with McInnis. Why? Because he can beat Hickenlooper. You guys can't do the same thing we did in 08. Beat up the conservative guys saying they aren't conservative enough and then a guy like McCain sneaks in. Then people are too principled to vote for him and we end up with Obama. Even if you don't agree 100% with Scott, if you don't vote for him it might as well be a vote for more psycho liberalism. 75% to the right is better than 100% to the left. Sure we all want that candidate that we agree with 100% but you're just not going to find it anywhere. No candidate will be perfect...ever.

I think those two groups are never going to vote conservative anyways. So, stick with it Maes!

I cant agree in voting for McInnis, he is just the party man, he does not represent what I believe conservitives want and if the Republican party cant get on board ,then they wont get my support.
Sometimes it has to get very bad before people will wake up. It has not gotten bad enough yet.
The Republican party thinks they have it made in 2010 and they are giving us more of the same that lost them the power in the first place.

[rhineoshott]

I'm a Constitution party guy all the way. But the Constitution party should not throw one of their guys in to compete against a perfectly good man. Dan Maes is not the "lesser of two evils".

Vote for McInnis? If everyone voted to beat out the worst guy with second worst guy because he has the second best chance of winning, then where are we? That means we've lost our country. Vote on principle to ensure an accurate vote.

[rhineoshott]

And then watch as the Colorado situation only gets worse when people like me move the hell out of here to escape the Californication, and next election you have an even more disproportionate number of conservative/libertarian voters. Arizona is sounding pretty good right now.

Make the State "blue" enough and it will attract more Air heads and encourage people with logic, intelligence, reason, and common sense to leave in favor of a State that favors more of all four. People only stick it out so long.

For the record, IMHO hickey is far, far, far worse than Ritter. Do you all forget his role in the DNC? His stances, his history..... Might as well raise the purple flag of surrender and rename the State Colorfornia.

Look back through history and see how the "3rd party" vote statistic affects us now. If you can even find it reported. You can pat yourself on the back for having 3,000 votes for a 3rd party candidate, but a couple years from now those 3k votes are long forgotten along with the candidate. You can vote for your perfect candidate out of principle (that`s good), but don't pat yourself on the back for having accomplished anything (because you haven't). Remember, nobody gets their ideal perfect candidate (unless your a progressive socialist....) there are millions of people that will always influence the stance and position of a given candidate. You will NEVER in your lifetime see a day when anywhere close to half of those people agree with you fully and also chose YOUR perfect candidate. You can either vote for someone viable, or you can give yourself a pat on the back for whatever reason (when you have not accomplished anything) - doesn't really matter, but the second one effectively takes your opinion out of the running. Almost the same as not voting at all. It's a personal choice, and I can't rag on you for it. Just saying - no hard feelings. For the record I'm not talking about McKinnis vs Maes. I don't know about Maes' viablility. I'm just talking about people voting for some asinine 3rd party candidate with 0.0% chance of anything out of "principle". Everyone that does that might as well pencil in "1 vote for myself for president".

I'm not going to get in a fiery argument.

[Beprepared]

Maes all the way. Heard him speak and I like what he has to say. McInnis is a career politician who's great accomplishment was to give a slice of Colorado to the Feds; Black Canyon National Park. Maes is a successful businessman that I think might still have principles. His smile is a bit forced, but who the hell wants a politician that smile to much.

I cant argue with that. We have a canidate to pick still so lets see if we can get a good one. Check out Maes soon and see if you can support him and spread the word. Maybe we can have a good canidate to vote for this time around.

[ronaldrwl]

I was listening to 630 today and I didn't even hear Maes name come up. I was disapointed with that. It sounds like the conservative radio people are backing McGuinness (sp?).

[Ryan_Th3_K1d]

Maes has my vote [Beer], although if McInnis wins the primary i'll still vote for him for governor! 3rd parties are a stupid waste of my vote IMHO, and has helped the wrong person get elected many times [Bang]

[rhineoshott]

YESSSS!!! I was at the Republican state convention today.
Maes got more votes than McInnis! Be sure to vote for him in the primaries.
Maes: 49%
McInnis: 48

Plus of course he's a true conservative and doesn't have a voting record akin to a garbage can.
