Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
As long as we don't have a split party like the last time, we should give dickinpooper a good run. 276,642 voted in this primary. That is more votes than Maes received in the 2010 general election. Of course only registered republicans vote in primaries. I think this was a sign of a fired up core.

I also voted for Kopp but the thing is now we need to rally around Beauprez since he is our candidate. JMHO
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.
My guy, Kopp, didn't win.
Go Beauprez!!!

Sad, isn't it? I cannot say that I am surprised with the outcome of this primary, just disappointed with the results.
Beauprez got the higher end endorsements because he spent the money to buy television ads. The millionaire banker turned buffalo rancher loaned $500,000 to his own campaign. Advertising = votes.
The fact that the vote spread between the four GOP candidates was so close indicates that all were good candidates. We voted for Gessler, but will certainly support Beauprez against the chickenliar.
Campaign contributions, letters to the newspapers, bumper stickers, yard signs, and personal contacts is what it will take to win. There's going to be a shipload of outside (Bloomberg) money coming in to save Hick and Udall.
While I was pulling for Kopp, I'm not terribly surprised Beauprez won it... I mean, look at the majority of the GOP voting stock: they voted for Romney in the primary, they voted for Romney in the election (well, it was between him and Obama, so yeah), they vote for the "republican" to win elections, not the best candidate on the right side of the fence. For the most part, the largest numbers of registered republicans will vote for the most "party line" candidate. That's what got Romney in the running in '12, that's what got McCain in '08, that's what got Beauprez here. Sure, some areas the TP candidate will win, but all in all, it's be the most republican you can and you'll win. I don't anticipate a huge shake up of the party for some time. Not saying I like it, but that's just the way it is. A lot of mainline republicans think the tea party is nuts.
At least now I can dedicate full attention to one guy to beat Hick. And if anyone here thinks that less than 10% going to some 3rd party candidate for governor is the way to go, I have a nice beachfront property in AZ I'll sell dirt cheap, because you're an idiot.

Kopp had Bill Armstrong, one of the pillars of the Colorado republican party doing ads for him that ran all the time on radio. To say Beauprez got higher end endorsements isn't factual.
I was rooting for Kopp BTW.

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
The only "radio" I listen to is satellite radio when I'm in one of my vehicles. I can't imagine I'm the only one that does this.
I voted for Kopp, but he came in 4th. I'll be voting Beauprez when it comes time.
I was encouraged when I was looking at the vote counts for the Rep. vs. Dem. candidates for various offices. It seemed that the Rep. numbers were significantly higher. Let's hope that the Rep. contingent is fired up and will make it count this time around.
Liberals never met a slippery slope they didn't grease.

Now that we've all voted for our principles/favorites, it is time to vote for the primary winner and defeat the spineless mealymouth. Bob had a good interview with Mandy and I heard a couple of his ads, if he stays true to those things he spoke about we'll be just fine. We can hold him true by getting him an (R) House and Senate, we can win this but only if we all get together behind Bob. Don't pout, don't stay home, don't leave the governor's circle on your ballot unfilled because you're not happy with the primary result, vote for Bob and we'll cross the line in November together as winners.
