I think Gardner won because people were tired of a one-trick pony and Obama ass-kisser like Udall, and ready for a change...
Chickenpooper won because once again the conservative leaning vote split...
According to the Denver Post, John Hickenlooper (Dem) received 49.0%, or 977,711 votes...
Bob Beauprez (GOP) received 46.2%, or 921,204 votes...
Matthew Hess (Lib) received 1.9%, or 38,226 votes...
And conservative Mike Dunafon (Una) received 1.1%, or 23,187 votes...
Together the (more) “conservative” side got 982,617 votes; enough to defeat The Hick by 4906 votes...
Party trumps person...We’ll be governed by a Democrat or a Republican under our current system...As much as we might not like the GOP, the Lib, Constitution or an unaffiliated candidate is extremely unlikely to win any time soon...
So thank the people who couldn’t vote for Beauprez because he wasn’t dynamic enough, or you wanted Tancredo (like me), or stayed home in protest...
Now we have 4 more years of the ‘Looper...
And that from a registered Libertarian, pragmatist and heretic...
Well, it sounds like y’all have a good rope on your RATS, and can force Chikn to figurehead status...
I really resent what’s happened to CO, they tried it with Battleground TX, lost their asses.
People should be able to vote for whatever candidate or party they want to vote for. We need more parties in this country.
