A week or so before the assembly, however, Thorne was approached by one – then multiple – Colorado citizens who knew him through his work with Randy Corporon and grassroots conservative groups on parental, health and electoral freedom issues.
These citizens were disgusted with the party establishment picking winners and losers. They wanted a different choice than John Kellner, a name I’ve come to learn is synonymous with Country Club Republican.
When Thorne finished speaking, George Brauchler jumped up to object to his status as a Republican. Brauchler nominated Kellner and, as his former boss, groomed him to succeed as Colorado’s 18th Judicial District Attorney. Chairwoman Brown asked Thorne if he was a Republican and Thorne replied in the affirmative.
Brown then brought up Thorne’s status as an attorney with the Colorado Supreme Court, and the two of them went back and forth before Thorne was named, by Chairwoman Brown, to the Attorney General ballot.
The delegate vote occurred and Thorne, previously unknown as a candidate and not in the race until just prior to the vote, took 42.5% of the delegate vote.
OUCH.
Only completely vindicated public servant Tina Peters secured a higher percentage (61%) of the vote in Saturday’s multi-candidate races.
It’s unclear if this electoral bitchslap to the establishment is what made Brauchler, Brown, and Rahn take to the fainting couch on Brauchler’s Monday radio show, but boy did they. I’m told they had a repeat performance on Wednesday, but I can’t listen to that drivel anymore. Hard pass.

She asked if he was at least 25 years of age, and if he was licensed to practice law in the state of Colorado.
I can't stand Kellner, but the reporter needs to get their story accurate.
Well, hopefully we can get rid of the slimy Phil Weiser. He just looks like a sleaze. As does Jena Griswold.
Damn. I thought George Brauchler was a good guy.
So did I.
Well, Dan Caplis is a big fan boy so maybe I should have been more skeptical.
