To recall the governor, someone would have to get the paper petitions approved via the Sec of State, then get 491,000 valid signatures within 60 days... Which means 700k+ actual signatures.


The experts I've talked to (petition gatherers) say that's not even possible. If it were, it would cost millions.


IF that were accomplished, it would force a recall election (where millions would need to be spent to beat him) on the Governor -- who faces an election in November 2014 anyway.


As of right now, we have no solid GOP candidate filed for Governor. If there is one out there waiting in the wings, he/she would have contacted me already (anyone with a snowballs chance in hell of winning has been involved in politics already and knows RMGO is looking for a candidate).


So, even IF (that's a massive if -- it's like spending money you think you're going to win in the lottery) a recall election were forced, you can't beat Hickenlooper with no one. Whoever that candidate waiting in the wings is, he hasn't raised the money needed to win (unless he's a millionaire and is self-funding). So a recall is forcing the GOP candidate into an early and premature election -- extremely inadvisable.


And after all that, then we'd still need to win the majorities in both the House and Senate to repeal these laws.


Yes, we're all mad.


But let's avoid the "Ready, FIRE, Aim" scenario.


RMGO is releasing a plan.

It does include recalls (Morse is certainly worth it, but I doubt enough signatures can be collected against Hudak, where the bar is quite high).
