” he rather recklessly left a key office (Sec of State) midterm and allowed the Dem Guv (Ritter) to appoint a Dem hack.”
I hate when that happens, with any office but Sec of State is an especially bad one to lose. Resining as Sec of State knowing that rat will replace you is like resigning from leading a Boy Scout troop knowing a pedophile will replace you.
My biggest reservation would be, you wanna have that House seat open in a Presidential year?
Walker (I thought it was WALTER) Stapleton is a “Walker Bush” Walker?!?!
I knew that CO-6 had been a GOP seat since its creation in 1982 (never having elected a Dem), but I forgot Coffman almost lost in 2012 (winning by just a 2% plurality). It definitely would not be a seat I’d want to defend as an open one in a Presidential year.
Yup, Walker Stapleton is a Bush (though the name Stapleton is political legend in CO, as his great-grandfather was the Denver Democrat Mayor Benjamin Stapleton, for whom the former airport was named).
