Brewery giant Pete Coors will enter Colorado's U.S. Senate race today, potentially giving Republicans a well-known and well-financed candidate to challenge Ken Salazar, the Democratic attorney general.
Coors, CEO of Coors Brewing in Golden, will face former U.S. Rep. Bob Schaffer and Colorado Springs lawyer Dan O'Bryant in the Republican primary to replace retiring Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell.

If Cain wins the Georgia nomination, and Coors takes Colorado's, does this mean we all get pizza and beer?

Let's hope that his political skills are better than his piss water beer.

You can find Leiney's in MN, WI, MI, Iowa and IL and Missouri down to about Columbia. Its a lager, kind of on the heavy side but one of my favorites.
They have several specialties, including Leiney's Bock, a dark beer available once a year when they clean out the brewery tanks (or so I was told). Have one with a ham sandwitch and you won't have room for the ham.

Does this means one of the Bud guys in Missouri will run next?

Wow. I prefer Bud. Certainly not Milwaukee's Best, my alma mater's default beer.

Before we anoint Pete Coors as the GOP standard-bearer, I'd like to know what he stands for. Schaffer is a pretty good candidate, and we shouldn't drop him for a billionaire unless we're certain that (i) Coors is a true conservative, (ii) Coors will be able to run a winning campaign and (iii) Coors has the experience needed to be a good Senator. I'm not too worried about (iii), assuming that he's been running the brewery all these years and not just appearing in commercials, but (i) and (ii) worry me.

I bought my own Coronas instead. Mexican water, woo-hoo! Oh wait, that's Modelo . . .

"It sounds like this guy will have enough money to increase his name identification."
Yeah, *that* should be a big concern.
I'm talking about whether Coors will be able to point out Salazar's two-faced liberalism and motivate conservatives to come out to vote. Schaffer is a tough conservative, but does Coors have the cojones to take on Salazar?
And why can't we get one of the Walton boys to take on Blanche Lincoln in Arkansas? One would think that splitting time between Fayetteville and Washington, DC would be more attractive than splitting time between Fayetteville and Fayetteville.

That's why I've been asking how he stand on issues and hoping someone will post what they know in between all the beer jokes.
