You live in a state with Polis as governor and Rhonda Fields as a state legislator...just to name a few. How bad could this new mayor guy be?
that's a good point^^^^^
I'm hoping the same. I'd love to talk to Sallie Clark for why she endorsed him. I know she couldn't stand Wayne Williams, but it seems to be more than that.Quote:

RR wonders if the majority of the other 10 candidates refused to endorse WW for two reasons:
1. WW is just plain untrustworthy.
2. The other candidates think Yemi will fail miserably ... and they'll be able to easily defeat him in four years to FIX what he messed up.
But RR doesn't believe the popular Democrat viewpoint, that Colorado Springs has now become Blue.

Now back to my own opinions....
A "connected" friend was convinced WW would gain all the votes from the other 10 candidates and clobber Yemi in the runoff. Since I don't trust WW a tiny bit, I was afraid my friend was correct.
I watched most of the candidate forums even though living in UN-incorporated Colorado Springs, I don't get to vote. (I "voted" with my wallet by donating to Gonzalez.) If I *could* have voted in the runoff, I'd probably have held my nose (AGAIN!) and voted for WW.
Clark must really despise WW. My impression of her was she was the most liberal of the candidates ... though she's a registered R.
Yemi was backed by Polis. Yemi struck me as both smooth ... and sneaky. (My friend both likes Yemi ... and thinks he's not trustworthy. Personally, I don't know how to balance my friend's two comments....)
Has Colorado Springs become blue?!
Damn, you have to try and imagine some strongholds for conservative opinion, in a state that is slipping into communism and socialism.
Colorado Springs, was that strong point for me.
But now it too is gone.
