Ok cool, I'm down for that. Gotta finish my uncle's latest book first and then I"ll look for that
Some people are. I still maintain that most people vote for the person who appeals to them on a physical or emotional level. Then you have the people who would vote for Charles Manson because he has a D or an R behind his name.Quote:

In the Denver Post today, there was a story about Dan Maes "exaggerating" his work as a Kansas police officer. Apparently, he blogged he worked "undercover" for the Kansas Bureau of Investigation working on a gambling and drug probe. After KBI officials came out and denied involvement with Maes, he has backed away from his blogging claims.
A statement he wrote on his campaign website that was later removed said: "At one point in my 2 years there I was place (sic) undercover by the Kansas Bureau of Investigations (sic) to gather information inside a bookmaking ring that was also allegedly selling drugs. I got too close to some significant people in the community who were involved in these activities and abruptly was dismissed from my position. Some people are probably taking that a little too literally," he said. "I was a city police officer providing information to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation."
Maes said that he could not offer records to back that up. "This was 25 years ago," he said, adding: "It's just not worth covering that much. It's a nonissue."
"Those comments might have been incorrect comments," Maes said.
Who wrote them (the comments) on the website? Maes did.
Maes is not a valid candidate, no matter what the Tea Party people believe.

Don't quote me but I believe I heard the 3rd, tomorrow, was the cut off date to drop before their name got printed on the ballot. I think I heard that on the Peter Boyles show.Quote:

I have also heard (I believe on KOA Mike Rosen) that Wadhams has asked Maes to pull out and Maes told him no that he was in for the duration. this would be a surprise to me but if it proves true I would owe Wadhams an apology of sorts but maybe I would just tell him its about time he pulled his head out, unfortunately I think the damage is done.
That poor guy and his name, Dick Wadhams... bwahahahaQuote:

Look I think Maes is getting the dirty end of the stick here but even I think he should give it up ... of course if he does and Tancredo doesn't than I'll curse Tom's name to my dying day (which will probably take place in a state other than Colorado because of his ego tripping).
He has until 5pm today to pull out or its too late.
1.5 hours left for Maes to pull out . . .
Maes says he's in it to lose it.
so HE's the one giving the election to Hickenlooper, hmm...Quote:
