I never understood what was so thoroughly objectionable about her when she ran for the Senate. She’d be in that seat today had she been the nominee. Of course, the CO GOP has put up more than a few duds as Senate candidates since 1980.
I was only semi-serious about her candidacy for Governor. I don’t know what Tancredo’s game was in luring Beauprez into the race unless it was to deliberately divide the field to give him the win. In hindsight, Beauprez would’ve been better off remaining in the 7th.
I would surmise that what was “wrong” with her is the same thing that’s “wrong” with Pat Roberts, she was running against the self-appointed “tea party candidate”.
Ayyway, the primary poll FWIW shows it’s now a close 3-way race, where as before, Tancredo was crushing Gessler.
