POLL: HICKENLOOPER 43%, TANCREDO 35%, MAES 16%: The Colorado governor’s race is increasingly looking like a contest between Democrat John Hickenlooper and independent Tom Tancredo, according to Rasmussen. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Colorado voters shows Hickenlopper still ahead with 43-percent support, but Tancredo now earns 35 percent of the vote, his best showing so far. Republican candidate Dan Maes trails with 16 percent. One percent like another candidate in the race, and five percent are undecided. The survey of 750 Likely Voters in Colorado was conducted on Oct. 3.
TEA PARTY LEADERSHIP ENDORSES TANCREDO: More than 30 Tea Party leaders and grassroots activists from across Colorado yesterday announced their endorsement of third-party gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo, adding their names to a rapidly growing list of conservatives supporting the former Republican Congressman. “The prospect of having Mayor John Hickenlooper win the governorship of the State of Colorado is unacceptable to us,” said a statement from Bob Marshall, secretary of Hear Us Now! “Colorado citizens need assurance that we are doing the best we can to support a solid and winning conservative candidate to represent us in the Colorado State Capitol. Based on polling trends and the direction that the governor’s race has taken over the course of the last several weeks, we firmly believe that candidate Tom Tancredo represents Colorado’s best choice in this race. We strongly urge you to add your support to ours Đ for the sake of Colorado.”
Tancredo ping :)
I’m not a total fan of Tancredo, but in this case I think he did the right thing, and is not a spoiler. Because it would appear that Maes is a real loser.
maes needs to drop out now!!!
Maybe Maes should drop out and endorse Tancredo?
The Grand Old Potty can’t wait to screw us up.
If Maes stays in, we’ll have a liberal Rat governor with a goofy name of Hickenlooper. If Maes drops out, we’ll have a good 10th Amendment governor named Tancredo.
>> I’m not a total fan of Tancredo, but in this case I think he did the right thing, and is not a spoiler.
Agree 100%, FRiend.
>> Because it would appear that Maes is a real loser.
Right. So now it’s Maes’ turn to do the right thing: drop out of the race and support Tancredo.
I kind of hope Maes drops below 10%, because under Colorado election law that would make the Republican party a ‘minor party’ for four years. Which they deserve for making that loser (Maes) their candidate.
MAes needs to drop out. Another Dede Scoazofava. Maybe Newt Gingrinch and Rove can campaign for Maes.
Watch the establishment GOP blame Tancredo for messing it up for Maes if Maes stays in the race and Hickenlooper wins.
Why won’t this Maes guy get out of the race?
Tancredo was the first man out on open borders & the utter destruction of current immigration policy.If this restrictionist-candidate can win, then America has a hope of surviving.
Schicklgruber?
I saw yesterday it was Schicklgruber.
This is good news, but really... Maes has to quit. There’s no chance of beating Hickenlooper if not.
