As for the "Hollywood Factor", it is what it is and apparently the republicans can't figure out how to play the game. The "Hollywood Factor" has always existed, hell people wanted to make George Washington King. Psychologically people are going to favor the good looking guy over the ugly guy when everything else is level and that relationship isn't going to change much even when you factor in positions. If you want to run an ugly guy you better have a platform that appeals heavily to at least 60% of the actual turn out voters if you want to go anywhere.

People wanted to make George Washington king because that was the only form of government they were familiar with. The idea of a 'representative republic' was new and foreign. Thankfully, GW and many others that were attempting to build this new government understood the hazards of following the same old path.

BTW, Tancredo voted YES on the Mandatory Gun Show Background Check Act, voted YES on Making the Patriot Act permanent, voted NO on government whistleblower protection, voted YES on allowing electronic surveillance without a warrant, voted YES on continuing intelligence gathering without civilian oversight and voted YES on Federal drivers licenses/IDs.

Sounds like big brother control to me..

Yes, hopefully this time the Colorado old boys club including Coors will stay out of it, I would love to see a fresh face.

I agree with you here, we don't need another old boys club member who thinks it is their "turn". Tom Tancredo is not a member of this club, the members of the old boys club HATE Tom.

The Coors family should stick to brewing "beer".

That's right, I forgot.

Tom T is a horrible candidate. His past voting clearly shows it. I'm not happy at all this guy is back into the mix. If I didn't know better, I would suspect he's working for Hickenlooper to fuck up another election.

The Republicans will nominate someone else and Tom T will throw another tantrum and run as an independent and we will still be in the same predicament we are in now. He needs to go away.
