I don’t know which one to support among the numerous Republicans running, but I know that it won’t be Ryan Frazier, whom I recall from his congressional race a few years ago was fairly liberal on social issues (he either was pro-abortion or pro-gay-marriage (back when practically no Republican supported it), or maybe both). I’m not going to demand that we run a 100% conservative for a U.S. Senate race in Colorado, but it’s not too much to ask that our nominee be pro-life and pro-traditional marriage. Besides, it’s not like Frazier has a proven conservative record on other issues or a good track record of winning difficult races.
I’ve looked at Daryl Glenn and he sounds promising, but he hasn’t raised any money. Maybe Neville is the way to go. Frankly, I would have preferred Congressman Doug Lamborn of CO-05 (Colorado Springs) to run for the Senate and have Glen run for the House seat. Heck, I’d be happy with Congressman Mike Coffman of CO-06 (who is far from the most conservative Republican in the state delegation, but is conservative enough and would be a very strong statewide candidate) running for the Senate, even though it likely would mean that the Democrats pick up his Dem-leaning House seat. I can’t believe that we’re on the verge of letting a liberal Democrat like Michael Bennet stay in the Senate for six more years (after having blown the 2010 election).
