And surely there will be plenty of you who'll stay home and piss and moan about the republican candidate and protest by not voting or voting for some obscure 3rd party candidate who gets .5% of the vote. And Hickenlooper will win again. Then you'll bitch about that.
I'd take 10 Mitt Romney's over 1 Obama.

I know we've been at odds on this before, and im sure your constant disparaging references to people like me are all very well meaning.
sent from my fone!
I'll hold my nose and vote for him. Because the alternative is Hick.
Sotomayor. Kagan. Holder. Rice. Clinton. That's what your supreme court, AG, SoS, Nat'l Sec Advisor, etc...looks like under the alternative. I guess that gives you warm fuzzies.Quote:

How sad it would be to win back the state legislature only to have Hickenlooper re-elected.
I get it. You and I want the same thing. Real, honest to God conservatives we can feel good about supporting. We just don't see eye to eye on how to get there. And, sometimes that just isn't a choice.Quote:

It wasn't some "dem-lite republicrat wall-street worshipping" conspiracy that gave us Beauprez. It was the citizens of Colorado. What can be done about that other than trying to convince people to vote for the real conservative? That just doesn't play to everyone, obviously.
And 3rd party candidates don't play at all. With them you get nothing other than maybe some self-satisfaction. But self-satisfaction doesn't keep liberals from passing stupid laws.
