RGA Done With Colorado

  • 13 Comments
  • by: Jack Burden

(Remember, folks, you heard it here first…two months ago. – promoted by Colorado Pols)

It’s just like everyone on this site has been saying for months, and it shouldn’t be any bit of a surprise, but according to Gov. Haley Barbour, there won’t be anymore money coming into Colorado for Dan Maes.

From Talking Points Memo

Will the RGA stand by Maes with financial support?

“We have put some money in Colorado,” Barbour told reporters during a breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor.

He added firmly, “We have put some money in Colorado. Past tense.”

With the RGA now officially giving up on Dan Maes, this is bad news for Republicans up and down the ticket. No outside groups are going to invest in Maes, so Ken Buck is really the only statewide candidate who can help influence turnout down ballot. The question is, will that be enough?

  1. Trust me, the Republicans don’t need the RGA to generate voter turn out this cycle.  

    Two years of Obama et al has assured a fired up base.

    Dems get Gov.

    Republicans get Senate.

    Dems get 2 safe CDs.

    Republicans get 2 safe CDs.

    3 Dem competitive CDs up in the air, 1 is lost, 2 still up in the air.

    AG Republicans retain.

    Treasurer up in air likely Republican.

    SOS up in the air likely Republican.

    Dem loses are just a return to the status quo. Split Senators 1-1, Split house 4-3 either way. Dems Gov, Republicans rest of state statewide offices.

    The more things change, the more they remain the same.

      1. Let’s face it: in a big R year, (a) down-ticket races all go with the more-turnout party because 80% of electorate has no idea who Buescher & Gessler are, and (b) Bennet is at best tied, making him the probably loser if projections of higher R turnout hold.

        I don’t agree 100% with H:

         – I think Buck is at best a 60/40 favorite (i.e., close call), given the closeness of the race and Buck’s real vulnerability to commercials quoting his more stridently conservative positions (social security is “a horrible policy”).

         – I might quibble with H about whether Perlmutter and Salazar really are less than 70/30 favorites (they haven’t been facing close races recently).

        But H is far, far closer to the mark than The Wishful Line on the right, whose ridiculousness convinces me that Pols’ authors are either (a) morons or (b) sycophants for the party.

    1. That was the figure that was being tossed around at one point months ago. Surely the RGA wouldn’t have invested that much in Colorado, but even $2-3 million would make the difference in turning out thousands of voters that they likely do not have the resources to court now.  

      1. Sure, Republicans can win without them. But absolutely not as easily as they could have won with the RGA. No help from the RGA is a big loss, no matter how you spin it.
