DENVER — Most of the action on the primary ballot is on the Republican side, with the GOP set to decide its nominees for governor, three congressional seats currently held by Republicans and a handful of state legislature contests.

Here’s a look at the top five storylines to keep your eye on Tuesday night.

The colorado primary ballot for Democrats is hillarious....

You can only vote for the incumbents... You know like Soviet russia...

[G Larry]

Newsflash!

The “Tea Party” is NOT monolithic and DOES NOT SUPPORT Tancredo!!!

Many of us are strong supporters of Mike Kopp.

Tancredo is toxic for the party and could drag down support for Cory Gardner's bid to replace Mark Udahl in the Senate.

Tancredo has sufficient foot in mouth history for the Dems and media to easily discredit him.

I’ve voted David Cox to oust Scott Tipton in the 3rd Congressional District, and John Pennington over the crooked establishment candidate Steve King for Mesa County Sheriff. For Liberty!

Hope Tom Tancredo wins.

Amen! Mike kopp is the real deal. If tancredo gets the nomination we have lost already

The reality is that you cannot get elected to office when you have made public statements like the ‘US should bomb Mecca’. It simply is not possible.

A Tancredo win in the primary will result in Democrats continuing control of Colorado. That’s why the Dems are donating to him.

Beauprez has a big name in Colorado, but I don’t think a guy that looks like he’s 90 years old is the way to go. Mike Kopp is best, I voted for him at the State GOP Assembly, but Gessler is actually a good guy as well.

[Cinnamontea]

I thought about voting for Kopp, but I went with Tancredo. I was leaning that way anyway, and Michelle Malkin's support of him put me over the top. (That and the fact that I believe the other Republican candidates will treat Hickenlooper with kid gloves). I refuse to buy, yet again, Democrat and RINO talking points--and that's what many GOP comments on Tancredo are--on who our candidate should be.

Go Gessler !
