The 2014 Colorado gubernatorial election will take place on November 4, 2014, to elect the Governor of Colorado. Incumbent Democratic Governor John Hickenlooper is running for election to a second term in office.
Republican primary
At the Republican state assembly on April 12, 2014, Mike Kopp and Scott Gessler received 34% and 33% of the votes of over 3,900 delegates, respectively, thus winning a place on the ballot. Greg Brophy, Steve House and Roni Bell Sylvester received 19%, 13% and 2%, respectively, falling short of the 30% needed to qualify for the ballot. Bob Beauprez and Tom Tancredo did not contest the assembly vote, instead petitioning their way onto the ballot.[8]
A five way split in the primary so both ways Bob can win one for the establishment. My preference is Gessler.
On Tancredo... It’s already been publicized, that he was a public school teacher and avoided the Vietnam draft by revealing that he was mentally ill. Tancredo’s campaigns have also been predictably colorful.
On the issue of people of Mexican descent, Colorado is much like Texas, with Spanish and Mexican influence interwoven into the whole history of the State. Ranching families of several Colorado generations (as differentiated from many of the newer fake ranchers) are aware of that and tend to inform newer neighbors of the same.
Gessler is probably the most realistic, conservative choice in the CO primary with his desire to repeal bad regulations aand his experience in preventing election fraud.
