ELECTION 2014 - Merged Threads

If the State House flops to the "R"s, we just may see the Magazine Limit and UBC repeal bills hit the Governors desk. Could still be interesting...

You think Hickenlooper would sign if it even made it to his desk?

Bitching is totally justified IMHO. Hickenlooper is an absolute abomination and complete fuckwitt.
He admitted to signing bills that he did not read. He admitted to not listening to the sheriffs he let Dunlap slide.
We have to deal with his retardedness again. He will continue to make decisions that are idiotic and effect our daily lives.
It's insane that republicans had great success in the state and nationally, yet the worst democrat governor on the planet retained his reign.

This points more to the GOP as a whole and it's shortcomings then Hickenlooper IMO.

Not really. But it still keeps the issue in forefront, plus they could pass other pro-gun bills to package with it, like CCW rights expansion, which may force compromise on the worst parts of the exisiting bills.

Who knows- All for nothing if the "D's" still keep the house.

I would like for him to have to face that decision.
It will make for an uncomfortable situation for Hick either way. We are all under the assumption that he has further political aspirations, and it will be a no-win situation. Sign, and risk losing support from (D) side (and the money/power machine), jeopardizing his future aspirations; or don't sign, and risk the ongoing fallout/turmoil from his lies, pandering and waffling, which will most assuredly be used against him in any future political endeavors. I can see the attack ads in my mind already.
But rest assured, if he does have to face that decision, and he does sign off on any of it, that decision will have not have been made by him but by his handlers (Bloomie, et al)

I think the way this vote went for governor is a message to the GOP to stop putting out crappy candidates. Yes, all democrats will vote for whomever has the D after their name. It's been proven time and time again that's just how people in that camp operate. But it looks like a sector of the people in the republican camp actually care about the candidates that their party puts up for election, and if they think that it's a lame candidate then they won't vote for them (Romney, Beauprez...). This should kick the GOP in Colorado in the ass and say "We need to put the strongest candidate out there, not who the data says is the most electable". Sometimes that might be the same person, but recently that has not been the case.

The real test to see if the GOP learns from this race is who they put up for president in 2016. I fear that last night is going to give them a ton of false confidence and they will throw out someone like Krispy Kreme Christie (vomit) or Bush Numero Tres (double vomit) and think that just because they have the R after their name, they will be a shoo-in.

Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it in the future.

Will it matter if Hillary decides to run?

lol @ thinking that Hickenlooper is worried about being revealed as a shyster after what he did openly the last term.

Exactly. Hick doesn't give a crap what we think, or an entire state of Sheriffs for that matter.
