Brace yourself. The 2016 Republican field is going to be HUGE.

Even though this poll isn't predictive, it is telling.  Two of the top three candidates -- Bush and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee -- are, at best, 50-50 shots at running. (Bush is entirely unreadable; Huckabee seems smart enough to understand that he had his presidential moment in 2008.) The only other person pulling double digits is Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, a status due, at least in part, to voters' familiarity with his last name because of his father's two presidential bids in 2008 and 2012.

Let’s hope that gap keeps up.

I dropped mine off the day after I received it. I know one of the girls who works in the County Clerk’s office. She’s a good conservative and she winked at me as if to say “Looking good”.

We’ll make the deadline, have no fear. In 40 years of voting I haven’t missed one yet. :-)

Hopefully that guy caught stuffing ballots in AZ will scare them.

Scare'm is good. The local station KRDO interviewed Wayne Williams about concerns of voter fraud, and who is running for Scott Gessler's Secretary of State seat. The reporter mentioned possible felony charges for fraudulent ballot stuffers.

As you may recall, the Colorado Dems loosened the law so to allow easier cheating when they got scared in the run up to the recall elections.

In Pueblo county, I think we'll get many Dems who will vote for Beauprez that voted for George Rivera (+12% win) over the conceited, gun-grabber, Dim Sen. Angela Giron in last year's recall.

If this is anywhere near true, Hillary will be President. Are the republican voters this stupid? A bunch of retreads, scions, and losers attract them?

How to get everyone, even all FReepers even, to coalesce? It’s like herding cats. Remember last election?

We need to start some FR polling because if even this one site could get excited about maybe coalescing early and helping to push a conservative across the finish line, maybe a few of the other sites and bloggers and all kids can get in on it too. We really did help swift boat kerry. But last presidential election, FR had zero influence. And that is a double entendre; the push here was not to vote but to allow Zero to stay in.

You're fast. LoL. Almost made it in 24 hrs. Spent some time checking out the judges.

I just watched a 2 minute attack ad on Gardner. The Dims are getting desperate.

Gardner could counter with the Udall "I'm brain-dead" comment.

Udall can not gain any points in the two weeks remaining.

His “Uterus” got him good.

I like Mike Pence.

Also like John Thune.

I happen to think a Pence/Thune or Thune/Pence ticket would be damn' hard to beat.

Wonder how many Freepers even know who the hell John Thune is ......

About the same number who know who Mike Pence is. Unfortunately. It’s time for these guys to wake up and smell the coffee. Or we are going to end up with Romney or Christy or worse.

“Wonder how many Freepers even know who the hell John Thune is ...”

Both Pence and Thune were high on my 2012 wish list.
