What says Cruz?
Barring no Tea Party type person I will take 1/2 a cup versus no cup at all. We need to start moving this Country into a Conservative direction, even if it is a 1/2 step at a time.
PING.
This foreshadows Brown jumping in in Mass.
Any Coloradoan know anything about this guy?
Will he be the most conservative in the race?
Not from Colorado but (or was)Ken Buck is likely the most conservative guy in the race. But, he blew a golden oppurtunity 4 years ago. We need to take out Mark Udall badly. He (Gardner) supposedly has strength from both Conservatives and establishment guys and was conisdered the strongest candidate on our side. AS I was typing this I found out that Ken Buck was dropping out and running for Gardners seat in the house so he must have the Ken Buck seal of approval which would indicate he is conservative enough.
I thought Brown was looking to run in New Hampshire?
Udall is no freshman, been burdened with him a long time.
Yes, I meant NH. Thanks for the correction.
I don’t know if Brown has announced yet. I get frequent emails from him, so it sounds like he’s prepping for a run. He’d have a better shot in NH than in MA.
“Any Coloradoan know anything about this guy?

I know Cory quite well. Did quite a bit of work towards his original nomination the first time he ran for the House and did subsequent work for him against Betsy Marxy.
Cory’s a great guy and very conservative, and even though he hasn’t always had the guts to go against Boehner’s leadership all of the time, he’s frequently been in the group stopping Boehner on issues like immigration and other egregious sell-outs.
Quite frankly, I’m thrilled about this. Cory is very electable and pretty darn conservative! He’s also smart and knows how to deal with the press.
Now we have a first-tier candidate who can win the Senate seat in Colorado.
“Now we have a first-tier candidate who can win the Senate seat in Colorado.”
Indeed. They don’t come any better-tier in Colorado right now than Cory. He’s very conservative, but smart and non-offensive. The Dems are probably really panicking now that Udall has to run against Cory instead of Buck.
Man, what super-awesome news.
Anyway, if I said this is welcome news I would be downplaying it!

Good information. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, catnipman.
Gardner has a 71% rating from Heritage. Nothing spectacular, but not deep RINO territory either. It’s mainly on farming subsidies and such, though he also voted for the ridiculous ‘Violence Against Women Act’. That being said, his other major votes seem okay.
Gardner’s staff needs to get back to work. It took me three pages of the Google search engine to find his website.
