E-mail from the recall folks, death threat from Hudak supporter:

Must be fake. The anti's never use threats and violence, right?
Here's the video anaphylaxis linked ... embedded for the lazy among us (like me :p )

What a dumbass!
LE, what a joke. Fuck the police and their controllers. Yes, this travesty of unequal protection under the law has made a direct and negative impact on my opinion of the police, the city council, the mayor, and liberals in general.
They put their job over the safety of a legal petitioner who is following the GODDAMN law.
Based on the recall supporter's response I'll make a couple of assumptions about him. 1) He's got the patience of Job and 2) I bet he's packing and thus not worried about this douchwit actually filling his empty threat.
Walked down and thanked the petitioner team. Did a little sign holding this morning at 80th and Wadsworth. Petitioners on both sides, King Soopers and Safeway.
90% positive, thumbs up, horns and smiles. :) Every time I looked at the signature area someone was signing. They have a laptop out there so they can make sure the signee is legit. :)
Was down there again for a while. WAY more recall people than evie people.
Guess who showed up, the police were there the whole time I was there. There were at least 2 marked units parking and patrolling and I saw at least one unmarked (lightbar across the top of the windshield is a giveaway). Naturally the opposition (the few that were there) were on their best behavior. I'm hoping I'll see/hear something that will bring my opinion back to pro-police but we'll see, my outburst above was an emotional release after weeks of hearing of the abuses heaped on the petitioners and no action being taken against the abusers.
The opposition staged a flashmob at noon or so, it was pathetic, like 8 people out of an expected 150 people. They "danced" or something, when I think of dancing I think of Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth.
The wind is chlly, getting my coat and going back.
Gun Rights Across America (GRAA) shared on Facebook earlier that Greg Brophy was at the recall headquarters for a bit this morning. Good for him.
Police were gone when I got back, they were watching for trouble during the flash mob.
If I can judge by the number of "thumbs up", waves, horn honking, etc. versus "the finger" and "thumbs down" evie is out of there, compiled from southbound and northbound traffic.
The leftists stayed out of our way and didn't harass anyone, nor where there any shenanigans in the parking lots as far as I know.
Tom Tancredo came by and said hello to everyone who was there, stopped and chatted for a bit too.
When I turned in my petition sheet to the notary today she didn't give me any numbers, but she did say it's looking fine and made a comment about extra nails in the coffin. I was in a team of 4 doing door to door and we split into 2 groups. We were all followed from the office and had lots of pictures taken of us. They didn't give us a ticket so I'm not sure how to order prints. The other 2 in our team said the police showed up and asked them if the antis were keeping their distance and if all was ok.
Pundits don’t understand Colorado, can’t explain its drift to the right
By Rick Wagner
Wednesday, November 13, 2013
There’s much consternation among the national keyboard-tapping class who stare moodily westward through their smog-filled skies and wonder what happened to Colorado’s leftward drift.
Some confusion comes from an essential misunderstanding of Coloradans. Many of the people who write about us think spending a ski holiday in Vail for their daughter’s winter break from Brown University qualifies them as sages on Colorado values. Like a romance-novel character, we’re complicated and misunderstood.
Alarms have sounded since the recalls of two state senators over their gun-control votes and the crushing defeat of Amendment 66. That is the rejected tax measure, with its liberal valentine of higher and progressive tax rates, unaccountable spending and centralization of education responsibilities in Denver.
Democrats, who hold the state Senate by only one vote, now have to contend with a recall effort to remove Westminster Sen. Evie Hudak for the same reasons the first two senators were recalled. The difference is, Denver-area Democrats are trying to disrupt the signature-gathering portion of the effort rather than just wait for a recall and then outspend everyone.
In Hudak’s district, the signature gathering is made difficult by the high number of signatures required, since her re-election took place during a presidential year when more votes are typically cast than in off-year elections. That vote determines the number of signatures necessary for a recall petition.
Also, Democrats are much less confident in defeating the effort at the ballot box after two successful recalls.
Furthermore, the outspending piece in recent elections was not as productive for Democrats as in the past. Supporters of Amendment 66 outspent opponents 500 to 1, with a $10 million campaign financed largely by out-of-state oligarchs. But the supporters were never really in the fight. Bell rang — instant knockout.
In other troubling news, school board races in Denver, Jefferson and Douglas counties, which were closely watched and heavily funded by unions and other progressive organizations, were swept by conservative reform slates.
Don’t let all of this make you believe money doesn’t matter a lot in elections. With so many voters already in hardened positions on issues and candidates, the slippery 15 percent to 20 percent who haven’t made up their minds or paid the slightest bit of attention to anything but still may vote, are the group everyone’s looking for at the polls.
Money, enthusiasm and ignorance are the real operational watchwords of political campaigns.
One locates voters apathetic or uninformed on issues and then uses money to lobby them — usually by advertising frightening non-realities or convincing class-warfare messages.
The reason big money didn’t work in some of Colorado’s latest races was because voters were already well educated on the issues and enthusiastic to make a difference on a topic they understood and wanted changed.
Nervous Nellies for the 2014 election are Gov. John Hickenlooper and U.S. Sen. Mark Udall.
Hickenlooper is the most vulnerable, despite what Front Range newspapers would have you believe. His support is seldom above 51 percent in polls, and now, thanks to his missteps on guns, the death penalty and Amendment 66, he is in some trouble. According to a Quinnipiac University poll published by the National Journal, his approval rating is an anemic 48 percent, with a plurality of voters thinking he does not deserve re-election.
This has forced him into the dangerous area of supporting fracking to try and win back some centrist support, but this makes it tough with environmental-group members, who spend a lot of time making sure their electric cars don’t catch fire.
Udall, also up for re-election, should be concerned about being among senators referred to by The Wall Street Journal as the “Obamacare Dozen,” who helped drag the legislation across the finish line on Christmas Eve four years ago.
He has $4 million already in his war chest and, like Hickenlooper, hasn’t been presented with a strong contender from Republicans yet. Both men are likely nervous but not yet threatened.
That could still change. So, I predict in the next few months we’ll see our governor guzzling more fracking fluid and thoughtfully visiting drilling rigs. He’ll probably be accompanied by Udall in bib overalls and a Stetson. They don’t get us either.

A huge Thank You to all those involved in the recall and to the petitioners. I truly do pray you get the numbers needed.
The 2014 elections will be telling. We should all be going to our representatives meetings and letting them know how much they messed up or supported us. It is only through the people consistently talking that they will here us.
HA! Got a call from Evie Hudak's support office. "Stand with Evie" or whatever it's called. Apparently she wants input from her constituents... I told the woman, "She could start with accurately representing her community instead of pushing her own agenda across. Actually I signed the petition to kick her out of office."
To which the lady replied something along the lines of, "well, I'm sorry to hear that."
I told her to have a great day.
So the deadline is coming right up, do we know how the numbers are looking?
according to RMGO emails, they are saying they are almost right at the required number. but I am guessing they will want to get a good bit more for any potential doubles, fakes, etc.
I was told they had 90% last night. Not sure if that's 90% of the required or the 25, 000 to be safe.
I would not be surprised at all if this rumor proves to be true. The dims don't want to risk losing the majority.

I find it bullshit that they can resign at that point. Once the signatures get verified that should be the end of it, no chance to resign.
Voice of the people is heard if the recalled official is gone. I don't want recalls happening just to swap the majority party but for real reasons.
If Hudak resigns, you will have a great victory. At that point, with no election, there is zero risk of balloting to go against us and the message of consequences for following Bloomberg's dictat is sent.

Just getting the recall petition validated is a victory unto itself, and sends a loud message to the antis. I do expect Hudak will resign if enough signatures are validated, as the dems will do anything to avoid losing the senate majority. She doesn't enjoy the massive financial backing that Morse got, and is more on her own.
A comment to that article by Chris Rawlings is spot on and very well thought out.
If the D's just shove their lacky in Hudak's place that is further proof the D's are ignoring the will of the people and another finger is given to Colorado voters.
Agreed, she should not be allowed to resign and be forced to face her constituents.
Oh, and the author of that article is Eli Stokols who is as far left and in the D pocket deep
We're collecting signatures at 100th and Wadsworth and at 80th and Wadsworth.
