Is this guy smoking crack or is he a Democrat consultant ? Pete Coors was a complete fiasco as a candidate, a rich dilettante with a drinking problem (and in 2006, was arrested and sentenced for drunk driving). The Dems would love to have this guy run again. As for Owens, Colorado's GOP collapsed as the majority party under his leadership, and he all but handed the Governorship to the liberal rodent Ritter on a silver platter.
Yes, the guy is smoking crack.
1. Media was NOT talking up GOP Pickups right after Obama’s inauguration ...
http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/01/12/senate.republicans/index.html?iref=mpstoryview
TIME: “The 111th Congress has just barely begun as Senate Republicans brace for more grueling elections in 2010 that threaten to further weaken the party’s influence in Congress.”
2. Consider the fact that Coors could win more as a sign of how winnable this is, than as an endorsement of his strength.
3. The real contenders were NOT mentioned, possibly the media doesnt want to help REAL REPUBLICAN CONTENDERS.
- Scott McInnis for Governor
“Colorado: Former Rep. Scott McInnis (R-CO-3), after several times turning down the opportunity to run statewide, is now publicly saying he will challenge Gov. Bill Ritter (D). McInnis is said to be the CO Republican establishment’s first choice. Ritter is weak, so this is a legitimate race.”
- “Ken Salazar swam against the Republican tide in 2004, but since he has now been appointed to the cabinet, an appointee, Michael Bennet, will be running in 2010. Bennet has never held elective office before, so he has no experience campaigning. On the other hand, the only statewide GOP office holder, Attorney General John Suthers, has said he will run for reelection and not for the Senate, so there is no clear opponent, either. You can’t beat somebody with nobody, so Bennet might actually get a weak and unknown opponent.”
- Is Owens lining up to run?
So true, CO is no longer reliable at all and likely to remain unreliable.
“Is this guy smoking crack or is he a Democrat consultant ?”
I’d guess he’s just a dumbass moron.
