wth is Maes doing?

[roberth]

We are watching Maes change from a viable candidate to a LOSER of the first order.

I'm still happy I voted for him in the primary but Oh My God what an idiot and liar.

[Mtn.man]

He is embarassing himself as well as the rest of the State.

How many think he will move when it's all over?
What a Maroon.

Big fucking douche bag. He has no plans for winning. He has is just hanging in there to spite everyone. He will probably move from the state right after the election. Pussy.

He was NEVER a viable candidate. That's what I've been saying since early this summer. You see guys like this show up in politics all the time and you can tell from day one that they just aren't cut out for it. I hate to say it but "regular guys" can't step up from a little old nobody that continually fails at small business to Governor of Colorado. Politics is politics. It's messy, it's dirty and if you don't know what you're doing, how to play the game so to speak, you get eaten up pretty quickly.

The same goes for any industry. You can't one day decide to open up a new car dealership if you've never driven a car before. Sure maybe, MAYBE if you surround yourself with people that know what the hell they are doing you might be able to pull it off. But Dan's campaign was his family, which is a huge no-no in politics in itself.

Something you can't forget either: Dan Maes didn't win the primary, Scott McInnis lost the primary. Jane Norton lost the Senate primary with 5,000 more votes than Maes won with. 20,000 less people voted in the Gov race than they did the Senate race. There was a lot of discontentment and therefore a massive undervote.

So yeah, long story short, Dan was a loser from the get go. There was extraordinary circumstances that nominated him...which was the biggest mistake the Colorado GOP made in a long long time.

This is a huge reason the caucus system needs to go...but that's a different story all together.

I also think he's doing permanent damage to the state Republican Party. It is obvious he has no chance to win. The ONLY impact he can have on this race is to split the non-Hickenlooper vote so that Hickenlooper wins.

I personally will hold that against the Republican party. Choosing party concerns over the welfare of Colorado is disgraceful.
