I had this discussion at the bar last night and was actually surprise at how many folks actually were supporting Tom.. the informal consensus (about 10 or so folks popping into the conversation) was that the Republicans are dipshits for not finding a real candidate and Little Johnny Hickenlooper is a ass hat we have to avoid at all costs. This was here in SE Aurora and rather informal. But the reason it seemed that so many supported Tom was because he's outspoken and calls it like he sees it and then doesn't back down because he pissed in some special interest groups cheerios.

I get the whole split the vote concept, but Colorado is predominantly non-party affiliated, meaning there are more independents than Demicraps or Republicants .. Tom's got a damn good chance if we stop hedging our bets and just get out and support the first viable 3rd party candidate we've had in a Colorado Governors race. If anything, I want Maes to step off and let Tom have the Republicant's spot.
