I’m confident that Maes can make a giant sucking sound if necessary to attract votesl
you almost made me choke!
😀
he has lost before… he can handle it.
Lundberg endorsed Maes and the GOP establishment would not be upset if they had to find a new candidate to hold onto his Senate seat
Senate District 15? The wikipedia entry says he lives in Berthoud.
Of course, Maes might think Berthoud is in Weld county.
Lundberg used to be HD49 Rep and that is both part of Larimer and Weld counties. Senate District 15 is just Larimer County territory, I think.
was he ever on city council before he was Mayor?
He ran but lost about 6-8 years before.
race in 2004 to Bob Bacon. And he, like Lundberg, hails from Larimer County.
He was the Mayor of Fort Collins for 3 terms, I believe.
He said on Boyle’s show (Brockler was filling in) that he was looking at a senator who was conservative.
He’s not likely to re-enter political life in any significant way; getting stuck on the ticket with Maes won’t harm him, worse comes to worse.
But I think Lundberg or Renfroe are more likely.
Has Allard no dignity at all?
to second fiddle to Tin Foil Danny Maes. it will never happen.
Lundberg probably. It would be good if he could pick someone known statewide though.
Why would Allard want to bash his head against the wall for three months? He’s already climbed that wall.
If no LG is announced then Dan is out or getting out. What would Hickenlooper do if all those Maes supportters suddenly showed up for Tanc? How does Hick look in an effective 2-man race?
It might take the GOP weeks to firm up a candidate … hummmm all the suspense and mystery makes for a lot of news paper reading.
If you see a ReMAX balloon you know Dave Liniger has flown to the rescue. A viable Republican will start out ahead in the polls.
Dan Maes is nothing but a huckster as demonstrated yet again by his sponging $300 from Freda Poundstone.
So you’ve heard that Maes is out too?
I hear Dave is supported by Tanc too. Hummmm interesting, very interesting……..
Hummm whos the LG? or who’s your fav?
.
he will be in 3rd place by 1 September.
The real contest will pit the Hickmeister against Tommy the Tanc.
The more interesting question: who will be Tancredo’s running mate ? Will it be Sallie Clark or Lionel ?
Personally, I’d like to see WLJ on the ticket with him, but she does have some standards that she just will not compromise, even if Tom is for legalization.
.
not clean
I would think Shawn Mitchell would be a good pick for him. Mitchell lacks the “right-wing whacko” moniker hung on so many others with the same number of years in the leg, yet still has a voting record well to the right of center and has been an ardent supporter of Maes at least since the State Assembly. The only problem is that I’m just not sure Maes knows who Mitchell is… It’s too bad really. Like I said, Mitchell isn’t a “whacko” so the RINOs tend to like him. He has backed enough bread and butter conservative issues so that “the whackos” like him also and yet, he has this HUGE Libertarian following on FB.
Tancredo has a rather tenuous hold on the GOPers he has been able to pull off Maes… I would think Mitchell could go a long way as a running mate to pull them back in.
I wasn’t thinking state senators. Mitchell represents part of Weld county. I have to believe that Maes has had the chance to meet him at some of the Republican events this year.
1. It’s Maes’ call, and he had better shit or get off the pot soon.
2. Nothing that BJ thinks matters. It’s not his decision.
Dan Maes represents the people, and cares what we think. It’s why we love him.
Maybe I was unclear the first time.
In the meantime, I’m having fun watching the Dems squirm. They can’t bear to have Obama campaign for them.
referred to liberals as “worshiping” Obama? You love a gubernatorial candidate who might be clinically insane?
That’s some serious devotion.
between loving a candidate and worshiping him. Only in the world of left wing loons does “Tea Party candidate who listens to the people” equate to “clinically insane”.
conspiracy because some crazy Teabagger handed you a portfolio is what possibly makes you clinically insane.
But I’m still stuck on you “loving” Dan Maes. That’s so awesome on so many levels. Is Mr. Maes aware of your love or are you playing it coy with him?
are the same as “the people” BJ./ Whatever tiny credibility Tin Foil Danny Maes had went away when he discovered bicycles are the source of Communist tyranny.
are perfectly accurate, despite the chuckles you get out of them. Last time I checked 33% of Coloradans agree with me (Tea Party), or maybe 42% if you go by the head to head poll of Maes vs. Hickenlooper. As much as I hate his pick of Tambor Williams, it’s only going to lend him even more credibility with the establishment/moderate types.
only serves as a hit person during the campaign and life insurance afterwards.
If Williams can raise money, that’s a plus. Maes needs the income.
demonstrate that he is a total idiot, a buffoon and a cheap crook. Show me a “context” that proves riding bicycles ushers in Red revolution. Come on, I double dog dare you.
You man is profoundly stupid, an embarassment to the moron community.
He is not currently holding down an elected position and he has money and he has supported Maes.
I think you should update it to include the 1st and 10th Amendment since those were also put on the chopping block by Republicans in just the last month – so much for protecting what our found fathers gave us.
Republicans will throw anybody and their rights under the bus the second they smell an opportunity.
But, if I included every American institution which the repubs and their foreign born patrons were trying to destroy, I wouldn’t have room for my adroit comments.
The 14th Amendment is critical because it not only defines US citizenship but it guarantees “due process of the law” to all US citizens. They are emphasizing the former, but really want to gut the latter in favor of the 10th amendment.
I think it is time for all real americans to read, again, Ray Bradberry’s classic short story: The Martians. They look like us, they sound like us, they even extend a friendly smile to us….but they are not us and they will destroy us…even as we sip their lemonade….
He’ll hit the streets hard and transition into a cabinet position well.
Tambor Williams….
that’s going to energize nobody. Well maybe Mark Hillman and the establishment
I have no idea if she’s actually his pick, but here’s some quick info.
http://www.coloradojudicialper…
who is used to making $250k++
Sorry dude, but Maes was not Tambor’s “kind of candidate”… If I did enough research I am certain I could find her name on a McInnis endorsement list from the State Assembly.
During her time in the Leg she was dogged by the RINO tag dues to her voting record. But she kept winning her seat back because she was an early and spirited member of Team Norton (Tom, not Jane) and often ran on his slate back when slates were legal, accepted and encouraged. Her appontment to the Owens Administration was a part of the fence mending that followed the 1998 GOP Primary. Her “record” is more a compliment to Bill Owen’s coalition building abilities than her own. Remember, back in 1998, Owens was the Right Winger in the GOP Primary, to Norton’s middle of the road candidacy.
So, given all of that… Can you please tell us how in the world Tambor would have gone against all of her friends in the Owens crew to support Dan Maes instead of Scotty McInnis.
Wow. Big whoop.
Well, at least she’s from Weld County.
She was in the State House for nearly 8 years – lot’s of votes, statements, and news articles to comb thru.
Sometime wayyy before before Erin Toll got
suspendedfiredremovedreplacedsomething.and the establishment is pleased with it. She is on the short short list for sure, I have confirmation. And it is EXTREMELY likely she’ll be the pick, though not 100% certain
more importantly they’ll be quoting him as he stays on message …. God is the mayor ready for the onslaught?
He’s got cops beating people and gangs beating lone walkers downtown … I bet he’ll manage to get some messaging out. But how does he counter Maes…what are the arguments that he’s too green?
Not sure about Tambor myself yet, need to learn more about her.
…and a good pick for Maes
She’s very popular in Weld, as people saw her as a Legislator who kept her promises and represented the people well
She is also experienced and has ran many times – even if Maes doesn’t win, Tambor will bring a very professional ‘statesman-like’ wisdom to the campaign, which helps all GOP campaigns
you’ll be singing her praises whether you do research or not. You’re a brainless shill. You know it and we know it.
Would be proof Maes is clueless and actually stands for nothing. Had I known she was an “early supporter” (which I suriously doubt btw, I’m pretty sure she gives Ownens a call eachmorning to OK her makeup, “How do I look Bill?”) I would have probably voted for McInnis at State Assembly.
It should read “Tambor as the pick”
http://www.mesacounty.us/commi…
as she would sheepishly accept.
The Buck supporters would flee.
(note: I accidently forgot to capitalize the word republican, but when I started to correct it , I thought, why bother? If the republicans want to use the “Democrat Party” term as a slap at all Democrats, then I think I will refrain from capitalizing that word as a sign of my ongoing disrespect.)
This is a joke right?
If Dan makes her the pick, he might as well just choose Penry… More efficient that way.
represents part of Weld County. Maybe too inexperienced, but would break up the gubernatorial sausage-fest! She endorsed McInnis, but I doubt that’s a problem. Also, she is probably tea-party enough for Maes.
Would be a great choice. I would say a great deal better than Tambor. Love them both, but Tambor’s age could be a factor. Also, her voting record wouldn’t do any favors for Maes with the T-baggers.
She may be new to elected office, but she has a wealth of experience, good conservative bona fides and a great pragmatic mindset that just about any campaign would benefit from. She just doesn’t drink the Koolaid… When everyone else has the glazed eyes and slack jaws of the true believer, she keeps a pretty clear head and doesn’t lose perspective.
And oh yeah… She knows how to ride a horse and has to own a dozen cowboy hats.
Maes could do a whole lot worse than BJ.
Because she is very personable and is great with how she frames issues to the Republicans advantage – and does so in a very understandable way.
As a Dem I hope it’s not her. As someone who enjoys watching the “discussion” in the race, she would be great.
…Tambor will be celebrated as an excellent policy-wonk and stateswoman – a former legislator with leadership abilities
From there, the GOP Establishment will lavish praise on Maes for his ENERGY and CAMPAIGNING, and go on to label Tambor as someone who will revamp the entire campaign by bringing experience and wisdom – the GOPers will forgive Maes’ past mishaps, citing inexperience, and point to Maes’ good judgement in picking Tambor
And overall – the ticket will be set that Maes is great because he has energy and Tambor adds experience and wisdom
Lastly – even with Tancredo in – Maes’ campaign is still VERY important because many down ticket races are relying on him, thus, his running a respectable campaign is of ultimate importance
…I definitely hope that 101 passes!
I would hate to know the price on registering a ‘pony’….
Your pony will be stolen from you by one of the Mad Max gangs roaming the state and there will be no police to report the theft to.
…Tina Turner, dude…
if he can’t find anyone in time? What’s the penalty for that?
The statutes do not specifically address what to do if the Gov. canddiate does not pick a candidate, but it does address what to do if the LG candidate picked does not accept. In that case it goes to the GOP vacancy committee [CRS.1-4-502(3)(c)]. It would presumedly do so also if Maes does not pick before deadline.
but thanks for the education Dan!
with the ACP candidate who was already on the ballot. At least for now.
Doug Campbell has BEEN the Light guv candidate for the ACP; AFAIK Tancredo kept him, unless he says otherwise today. (today is the deadline – 7 days after the primary, by rule)
.
same as for other candidates, as discussed last week.
