Brophy or Tancredo Poll

Tancredo got half the hispanic vote, something brophy can't come close to. Did I actually see Toms strongest point; (Anti-Illegal Alien) being thought of as a weakness?

When America becomes a third world country, thats it, its over, California till the end of days. That 'republicans' can't figure out the illegal-alien issue shows why they will become extinct in a couple decades at the most. Unbelievable. What kind of 'White middle class Republican' would care if Tom is Anti-illegal. I would think they would care if he wasn't. Unbelievable.

I like Tancredo but as others have said, he has too much baggage from past missteps and misspeaks.

I don't know about Brophy enough so won't vote in this poll just yet. Just found out from reading this that he may be a contender.

Tancredo is an awesome guy. I'd vote for him anyday, that said Brophy may have a better chance. Brophy/Tancredo Gov/Lt. Gov?

Tancredo could never win a state-wide race in Colorado. His two decade old stance on Immigration alone would be enough to defeat him. Hickenlooper is wounded so perhaps Brophy could do something. He better study up on Bill Owens to figure out how to appeal to the moderates in this state. Without the moderates and swing voters, it is a Hickenlooper victory. Actually, let me rephrase that, unless the moderates and conservatives want to do this together, the Obama agenda in this state will continue. Since Hickenlooper is a Obama puppet, his re-election would be disasterous.

I like Tanc, but he's damaged goods. He's tied himself to the mast of illegal aliens so tight that nobody will ever want to hear anything that he has to say about anything else, and as a state governor he has damn near no power at all to act on that one issue.

I've voted for him before. I donated money to his campaign in 2010. But this time, I hope he has the grace to just endorse Brophy or whoever the GOP nominee is, and stay out of the limelight.

This is right on the money 100%

If you discuss many issues with Brophy, as I have, you will find he is solid on some, and like a leaf in the breeze on others. It is most difficult, if not impossible to ascertain where he might come down on some very important issues.
i agree with him on GCR, but others he is very "pliable".
that is not to say he would not be worlds better than th current.
Tancredo however does not waffle. He is consistent, and that is what is both in his favor, and can work against him. At least with him, there is little doubt where he stands, unlike our current gov., who at times, does not even seem to know where he himself will be next week.

i would hope that all spend considerable time familiarizing themselves with ALL issues likely to come up down the road, not just GC

I voted for Brophy because there were only two choices in this poll. But, it's early and the candidate pool is growing. Mike Kopp is now a candidate along with Scott Gessler.

Right now, Mike Kopp is my guy, and someone really strong is gonna have to come along to change my mind. He's as strong a supporter of gun rights as Brophy, former Ranger, former senate minority and majority leader (so he has the experience) and he's very conservative.

As a combat veteran who put his life on the line to defend our freedom, Mike Kopp will not relent until we fully repeal the new gun control laws and allow Colorado to opt out of ObamaCare.

As Governor, Mike will implement his "Blueprint for Leaner Government" to eliminate job-killing regulations and useless government programs, and to put Colorado on a path to limited government and prosperity for decades to come.

If they cant understand it, or they dont care, then they should be sent to live in a 3rd world slum...Why should be forced to suffer?
