Greg Brophy for Govenor

That's the only reason I'm registered Republican. It only makes a difference when selecting candidates at the local and state levels. Open primaries in other states define the national candidates before Colorado gets to play. Then we end up with someone like McCain.

That's my biggest complaint about being unaffiliated. You have no voice in the primaries and that's important to me.

Mine too.

I think Bob Beauprez is a good man and has backing of party insiders because of his ability to win friends and influence money. Unfortunately, he's going to be badly handicapped by the terrible campaign he ran against Ritter, and the reputation that comes from such a loss. The leftist news media won't let him forget it.

Hick has been in full campaign mode since the recalls. His pals in the media have portrayed him as a centrist. I predict that Beauprez' loss to Hickenlooper will be worse than his race against Ritter.

Anyone who remains unaffiliated has never taken a class in political science. Probably missed math class, too.

No, anyone who votes "third party" in a general election has probably not understood lessons in political science or game theory. That's an entirely different proposition than being unaffiliated. Being unaffiliated means I don't get to vote in Colorado primaries -- usually that's no loss -- but I can vote for anyone I damn well choose to in the general. I have registered with both parties at different points in time when it seemed to be worthwhile to vote in the primary. This year may be one of those years but in general I find it far more useful to be unaffiliated -- especially when one of John Morse's supporters got in my face last summer and accused the recall campaign of being a Republican stunt.

You make your choices and suffer the consequences -- if I want a voice in the primaries, I have to register with the party I want to affect. No biggie and I think it's better than Florida's system where you don't have to register with any particular party to vote in its primary as long as you only vote in one party's primary -- which can make for all kinds of shenanigans as Party X loads Party Y's primary election in order to get the candidate most likely to lose to Party X's preselected or unopposed candidate.

I am also unaffiliated but register if I want to vote in a primary. Did that a few years ago as the only candidates for sheriff were republican, so the primary was basically the election.

Have a feeling Colorado will end up with the dyslexic geologist "yes man" retard again. There is a good chance at getting a majority in the State Senate, but If people fail to secure the state legislature from the marxist wannabes this time around, Colorado will be toast and will go the same way as kalifonya did within the next 3 years.
