I live in Douglas county just south of you.
Much as I like Tancredo, I think it would be a disaster if he ran for gov. Haven’t heard about Hick lately, but the threat is always there.
I would recommend getting involved in the local repub party. Douglas county republicans have a monthly meeting called first Friday in Parker. I’m sure Arap cty has the same sort of thing. I find this the best place to find out what is going on and keep abreast. The repub state chairman and higher ups are always there as well, and it is a good place to bend their ear. I have noticed attendance increasing lately - used to be 40-50 people, now I would estimate 75 attend.
This could be our year if we are smart about it, but I dread the prospect of running Norton and her ilk... We shall see. State caucusus March 16....
I agree Hick is a political danger. But he just doesn't seem like he has the fire in the belly like Romanoff.
He also isn't as politically savvy either. I think Romanoff would roll Hick. But Hick would do great in the general.
I think old Tax Ritter made a huge mistake by not appointing Hick to the Senate seat. Because it would be easy for the dems to keep the seat with Hick. I also think it was a slap to Romanoff by not appointing him.
I couldn't even tell you what Bennett looks like. I did see him on CSPAN (Senate floor). He looked really uncomfortable. I think they will start out his campaign with his pictures on milk cartons. I really think it will be near impossible for him to hold on to that seat. IMHO
Yeah! I think this is the Republicans year. Just hope a lot of Rinos don't get in.
BTW. I've worked with Ryan Frazier. Good future. I hope. Might be too early for him to run for the senate. Thanks for the rant.
