He didn't garner the necessary 30% at the Republican State Assembly.
I wonder what impact this might have? I have not completely read all the details yet but remember hearing it on the news this morning.

Registered voters who are not affiliated with a major political party will be getting a notice in the mail reminding them that in order to participate in the upcoming primary election, they will have to declare a major party affiliation.
Nothing has changed. You have always had to be a declared affiliate to vote in the primary.
My Feedback
Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."
I'm no fan of Beauprez and Brophy's endorsement has me scratching my head but let's face it, any candidate you agree with 100% (if there is such a thing) is going to piss off roughly 80% of the non-Democrat voters with 10-20% of his or her stances. I don't see why so many people seem to think it's okay to let someone they disagree with 80% of the time get the office because they only agree 80-90% with the opponent.
I'd be happy if the Republican candidate is able to get through a simple press conference without pissing off 95% of gays, women, Hispanics, and conservatives. Seriously, where do they come up with the socially inept idiots that they want us to vote for? I'd be happiest with a strong fiscal conservative that was relatively moderate on social issues, or better yet held the opinion that social issues are no concern of the government, but I'll settle for someone that can add to twelve without having to take off their shoes, that is a supporter of personal rights and responsibility, and skips the pseudoreligious bullshit and moral hypocrisy so rampant in politics.

Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
While most of us here agree that the Republican candidate should stay away from social issues, a large number of the party loyalists are interested in those issues.
My extended family are farmers and oil field workers, church going and very conservative in their politics. No hand outs, honest pay for an honest days work.
They are very concerned with the social issues and their belief that a movement away from family values is leading the nation to moral decay.
They are the ones in which the candidates are speaking to when discussing the social issues.

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
We're having the same discussions we have every election cycle.
The facts are (R) and (D) both claim 30 percent right out of the gate, that leaves 40% most of which vote for the (D), that 40% just want to keep their independent label b/c /[sarc on] they're such free thinkers and all. [/sarc off]
The GOP is going to need every vote they can get and that means appealing to a broad range of voters. Will Beauprez be better than Hickenlooper...that remains to be seen. If we can give Beauprez an (R) house/senate it'll be easier to get him to do what we want, if we get an (R) house / senate and the looper wins the looper will just become obstinate and we still won't get what we want so if Beauprez is the pick I'll vote for him.
I want to see Kopp or Tancredo win the primary though.

That would be a Libertarian candidate you just described. If all of the republican voters would ditch the crap that the GOP keeps putting out as far as candidates and support a "3rd party" candidate...there would be some real change.

And if frogs had wings... True conservatives WILL NOT vote libertarian because of libertarian stances on certain social issues. It's really not that hard to comprehend.
I've said it before but it seems to fall on deaf ears.
Conservatives vote republican. Conservatives have a strong sense of tradition when it comes to social issues like OneGuy said. Conservatives believe in traditional values, family, God, freedom, smaller government, etc. Believing in and talking about those conservative values are what conservative candidates do. You can't realistically expect a conservative candidate anywhere not to talk about traditional values or to believe in traditional values. If you do, you don't understand the term "conservative".

Republicans certainly vote Republican. No question about that.
