Youtubed, the ‘donate’ button former White House press secretary Dana Perino refers to is here:
And we find ourselves in agreement with Denver Post columnist David Harsanyi:
Endorsements are not particularly relevant, but two things did jump out at me: First, I’m fairly surprised to see any video endorsement feature a candidate palling around with former President George W. Bush. Associating a candidate with an era of spending and government growth seems counterintuitive, to say the least.
Second, I noticed that Perino alludes to the forthcoming fight McInnis is in for against “relentless” Democrats but says absolutely nothing about his battle against a competent conservative in the primary. As the nominal front-runner, McInnis, no doubt, has made a tactical decision to ignore Josh Penry…this might not be the best option.
Republicans may rebound in 2010, but it certainly won’t be due to any nostalgia over the good old days of 2007 and “relentless” Republican spending. Experience and name recognition seem to be McInnis’ greatest strengths. Is that enough? I hope not.

1) Scott McInnis isn’t going to bash the former President and fellow Republicans like his opponent Penry has done from the get go. And 2)Dana is loyal to the man who she worked for before she went to the White House press office. 3) Penry has no loyality to those that gave him his start in politics and would throw his best friend under the bus if it got him elected to the next highest office he’s seeking.
Funny Dana mentioned all that fabulous support in Pueblo…
I’m an equal opportunity critic but then I’m not running for office as a Republican, Democrat, Green or Independent.
All the posts I see are in praise of Scooter, many bashing Penry.
I’ve always been able to disagree with Scott to his face. Once when he was in Congress we debated an issue in the middle of a grocery store and entertained those around us I’m sure. He’s never held a grudge. In the campaign for Governor I have had one criticism but never had the chance to tell him. Good thing – turns out I was wrong.
That’s goofy
for his grudges
Republicans more than Democrats, from what I’ve seen. They nurture and cherish them. Scooter is no exception.
in Pueblo who love McInnis. Go figure.
First off, all Perino is doing is giving and endorsement to an old boss, which in my opinion are the best kind. It shows your staffers respected you and are willing to help you out even after you’ve parted ways, which is more than I can say for some other politicians.
Second, if you want to talk about a candidate palling around with good ‘ol W then no need to look any further then the Penry campaign. He hired half of his old staff to work for him. Don’t tell me that Penry is some type of different GOP candidate and he’s going to “change” the party and this state. All Penry can do is bash McInnis and talk out of both sides of his mouth. If that’s all he’s got going for him then I hope he doesn’t win the primary let alone becoming Governor. He’s chosen to take the low road and for good reason…it’s his only option.
I think McInnis is ignoring Penry for the right reasons, Penry is making a fool of himself and doing a very good job at it. Why should Scott look like a mud slinger when he doesn’t need to?
I’m just saying.
But then Penry moved to Denver. I wonder if he’s still drawing his salary from Home Loan?
To your point: Penry was just following orders. If he was in charge, things woulda been different I tells ya!
That’s probably not fair, it is for a GOP primary…
When you say it like that, Penry’s campaign does have a “Come on, Coach, just give me a shot!” feel. Or maybe I just don’t like him and see him as a punk bitch no matter what. 🙂
I read you all the time, so short time, plenty see. No welcome back, I just happened to see my password and chuckle at that on the same day. Thanks though. OTOH, I may have a question for you, but I’d rather email it. Does it bother you that your email and handle have become so outdated?
If things go all worst-case scenario next election, it might not be as outdated anymore.
I agree with you that endorsements from your former staff are very encouraging because it shows they respect you and are willing to help.
However, is the inverse true as well, that if your former staffers endorse and support your opponent you probably aren’t that well respected? If you line up former McInnis staffers behind the candidate they are supporting in this race, Penry wins in a landslide.
Just the facts.
I could see your point. But I guess I see Penry as more of a sockpuppet when it comes to befriending people. He wants to be everyone’s friend and that’s the reason he works BOTH sides of EVERY issue. If you don’t make any enemies then did you ever really take a stand on anything? He doesn’t seem bold or edgey just a little blah in the scheme of things. So yah, he probably would have those staffers endorsement because he’s the Mr. Rogers type. Which just isn’t my type of candidate.
Bennet, now there’s an example of standing for nothing. They call him Mr. Position-less.
“They” sure use clumsy phrasing, don’t “they”?
But I thought that’s what “they” call McInnis! I’ve also heard tell that’s what “they” call Romanoff, since thinking of himself as a leader seems to be his only stated position this year!
New rule for political video-makers: Don’t direct the person on camera to look at something that might not be there when the video shows up on YouTube.
It looked like maybe she was looking at a script to make sure she knew what she was saying.
