Former Governor Bill Owens' three children are inviting people to a meet-and-greet for former Republican congressman Scott McInnis, who's thinking about running for governor.

McInnis served in the U.S. House for six terms. He and a fellow West Slope Republican, state Sen. Josh Penry, have expressed interest running for governor next year.

I can only hope Ritter goes down big. I also understand Tancredo has expressed interest in running. I hope we can field a strong slate of candidates for not only governor but also Bennet’s (Salazar’s) seat.

Good news. Ritter’s choice for the Senate isn’t polling strongly, either.

Colorado bump - McInnis would be an interesting candidate.

Let me guess, it’ll be a near tie, under 1000 vote win by the Republican. After a few weeks, the democrat takes his seat anyway.

He would be a fine candidate. And I would love to see Bill “but fees aren’t taxes” Ritter go down in flames.

Bennet, potentially wading into a heated political debate a year before he runs for his first election, said Saturday he supports a path to citizenship for those in the country illegally.

Bennet wants to dodge a primary challenge. Hopefully, it’ll backfire next year.

I could get behind McInnis.

Who is on deck to take down Bennet? Beauprez is damaged goods and Tancredo might be too radioactive although I like them both.

Oh, come on? When have you EVER seen that happen?

/bitter, angry sarcasm, especially with the DU @$$holes who claim that WE steal elections

For the record, FR would have to buy a new, high capacity disk drive to document all the times this has happened.

Scott McInnis has better name recognition than Josh Penry which I believe explains the polls. However, McInnis ticked off the base when he quit mid-term and he’s closer to another Bill Owens than the more conservative Penry. Should be an interesting primary.

Hopefully we will not have another brutal primary.
