I always have been a fan of Tancredo.
What would be a good pick?
BJ Nikkel – Ideologically she’s there, but probably wouldn’t take it… She’s just too pragmatic.
Shawn Mitchell – Started as a solid defender of the delegate/primary voters votes, and supported Maes also. Good experience, good “unifier”, popular with GOP salwarts and the Libertarian fringe alike.
After that I kinda run out of names because just about everyone else got behind Mcinnis and has spent the last 12 months smack talking either Penry or Maes.
Well I guess I do. She’s got experience, ties to the establishment blah, blah, blah. Sure isn’t going to help grassroots enthusiasm though.
looks like the Beej is out of bed.
my apologies, I’m sorry you found that offensive.
So Maes finally made an intelligent decision — a first for him — and moved toward the center. He has no hope to win but this could conceivably reduce the anchor effect his doomed candidacy will have on downticket GOP candidates. As a certified lunatic who thinks bicycles are a communist plot, he certainly doesn’t have to placate the far right that nominated him.
How does a moderate vote? What is a moderate for? Against?
and, thus, pro common sense.
Why would you think this was his choice as opposed to the party folks who may have chosen for him?
Lets all be nice to her today. Tomorrow we can pull out the knives 🙂
Palin know-it-all, wanna be.
IIRC, Tambor Williams was a moderate, pro-choice R back in her legislative day. Even so, the Lt. Guv bone is not enough to invite country club R’s “home” IMHO, especially when Hick is so biz-friendly.
Can’t imagine Maes’ Tea Party base is going to be very happy about this, either. Is it possible for his campaign to alienate the entirety of his voter universe?
It’s not like everyone he called was going to jump at the chance.
I had the exact same thought. This ticket needs more crazy to battle the inevitable Tancredo/Bruce combo (one can dream).
Tancredo/Shultheis? We could kill off anchor babies with AIDS in one fell swoop
Look, why don’t you just create a macro that automatically expands those silly abbreviations into actual words? It’s really irritating.
and IOKIYAR
(It really seems like that’s just a pet peeve of yours. Get with it grandpa!)
for Grandma, wouldn’t it?
It’s convenient!
TUOFAIQCONWN. IITHTFOWTM.
That’s a bold statement. You gonna let him get away with that HGF?
they had it in their ads when I was a kid. Lucky Strike Means Find Tobacco.
of course, in my mispent youth, I smoked Players.
it’s a history thing
and have trouble reading the screen. Shud indeed be ‘fine’ tobacco.
about Tambor is she wasn’t terribly friendly and liked to jog on her lunch hour, so I ran her name by two former colleagues last night and this morning and got a collective “You’re kidding me” groan.
guess Maes didn’t want a rogue pick that might go all crazee on him.
Just ask B(S).
Hank Kingsley would have been perfect for the role of running mate.
I posted it so 🙂
You DID report this yesterday. Good job!
🙂 or media to be exact
Shes’s not a conseravtive.

In the day, this would have been considered a remarkably good pick. But the Republican Party of today will hate. She is pro-choice and Colorado Republicans for Choice helped her in her contests. She may even have been helped by NARAL. Further, she still sits on the Colorado Supreme Court Judicial Performance Commission. http://www.coloradojudicialper… Sure to piss off Andrews and crowd as she voted to retain at least one Justice this year, Nancy Rice one of the most liberal justices who was unanimously recommended for retention. http://www.coloradojudicialper…
So, overall, frankly with the regular voters a good pick, experience, woman, moderate, Weld County, smart. For the Tea Party faction, not so much. Should be fun to watch.
Something Tea Baggers absolutely abhor.
I’m truly looking forward to seeing how Republicans keep the Tea-bagger momentum going while also playing to the middle. Tambor is an obvious example of trying to get back to the middle however the Tea-bagger folks are too pure to allow R’s to do this. They are already anti-establishment, this will just make matters worse for them. I think their enthusiasm dies as R’s become more moderate.
if Maes will try to squeeze between Tancredo and Hickenlooper on the issues. Hickenlooper is pretty moderate but Tancredo way over there on the right.. maybe he can pull it off. He needs money though.
will try to put him between Tancredo and Hick. But Maes’ natural inclination will be to out-run to the right of Tanc.
All autumn long we’ll see a running saga of Maes constantly heading off the farm — followed by a few of his more responsible handlers who try to reign him in, make all sorts of fantastically contorted explanations for his bizarre statements, and then shove back into his straightjacket for a day or so.
and besides that the only impact this will have is to make the fantics on the right angry. All the other voters won’t care by tomorrow morning. Net result, a negative impact for Mr. Maes.
she and Hobbs are the centrist, swing votes on the courts. Nancy calls em like she sees them, without fear or favor.
On KOA at their 11 am newscast.
Vote for us-She’s not crazy
Vote for Tambor-don’t you wish I wasn’t on the ticket? At the top?
Maes might have just gotten himself a GOP led revolt if he should miraculously win. They could throw him out and have her. Simple moves after more $ shenanigans arise.
1. Dan Maes is serious about winning. Dan made a decision to broaden his appeal and that’s what someone focused on gaining the most votes does.
2. The state party is supporting Dan. They may not be thrilled, but someone like Tambor would not join the ticket if most of the party leadership was washing their hands of Maes.
The state republican establishment will begrudlingly support Maes. The real question is how much grassroots tea party support Tancredo can siphon off.
in return for his naming a moderate like Tambor to the ticket.
Maes has to at least garner 10 % of the vote or the entire Colorado Republican Party will lose major-party status. That’s worth getting him at least a little support.
.
I think all they lose is the right to one of the top two spots on the ballot.
Other than that, they will come right back in 4 years.
.
If you do a Google Image search for Tambor Williams you get exactly ONE picture of Tambor Williams, followed by a zillion photos of Jeffrey Tambor.
And that’s if you actually search for Tambor Williams. If you search for just Tambor, she’s gone without a trace.
Jeffrey Tambor isn’t on the ticket?
that Tambor is not her real first name, but a name from an old marriage. Really a WTF piece of information right there and I don’t really believe it.
The ability to prove (or disprove) rumors is one of the reasons I love this site so much.
You should keep it to yourself.
Ruh-roh raggy, she’s a “tax-raiser” HTF is that going to play w/ repubs?
I thought they all vehemenetly opposed Ref C and all it’s evils?
to see how she handles an honest-to-god knife fight. HD50 was far from a hostile environment for a pro-choice “establishment” Republican.
