You didn’t really think outgoing Colorado Republican Party chairman Dick Wadhams was going to take the bashing of his financial custodianship by the leading candidate for his replacement, Sen. Ted Harvey…lying down, did you? As the Colorado Independent’s Leslie Jorgensen reports, Wadhams apparently still has a few knife tricks in his bag:
Colorado Republican Party Chair Dick Wadhams apparently isn’t the only one attacking the financial acumen of state Sen. Ted Harvey, who aims to succeed him. Obscure court records documenting a $49,000 note that Harvey paid to J.P. Morgan Chase are being shopped to reporters by an operative with past ties to the Republican National Committee.
Despite the fact Harvey avoided a judgment by paying off the note in 2009, the documents are being dished to Denver media outlets in an attempt to hammer another nail in the Highlands Ranch mortgage broker’s reputation that might be marred by a $19,000 unpaid debt from his failed 6th Congressional District bid in 2008
“I have no judgments against me and I have a perfect credit score,” declared Harvey. “Make sure you print that or I’ll sue you.”
…Wadhams, among others, have questioned Harvey’s ability to raise money for the state GOP and mused that the state senator is motivated by the party chairman’s nearly $150,000 annual salary.
“I don’t think Ted Harvey has the foggiest idea of how to raise money,” said Wadhams, who vowed to expose “the little creep.” [Pols emphasis]
Isn’t it funny how every time a Colorado Republican runs afoul of Dick Wadhams, some shadowy operative “with ties to the Republican National Committee” comes out of the woodwork to scumbag said Colorado Republican? You know, with obscure court records and all kinds of other information suggesting considerable homework has been done?
It seems to us this is the kind of behavior that cost Wadhams his standing with the rank-and-file of the Party to begin with, and contributed to the current state of factional infighting–but that’s just how the man rolls we guess. And for a few more days, the Colorado GOP with him.

I hear Scott Tipton and Cory Gardner have been saying mean things about you.
Sincerely – a friend
I bet it was something like, “That Wadhams is all the Trump hair with none of the financial acumen, or beautiful wife.” Get ’em, Dick! It’s for your hair AND wife’s honor.
Side note; Dick’s right, Harvey is a little creep. (That’s right, sir, I’m on your side.)
it is about time he get some of his own medicine.
How does it feel Teddy? People like Harvey and Company are what is WRONG with the Republican Party.
Time for Dems to break out the popcorn.
Never underestimate Dick Wadhams. It’s not his fault that the Republican party resembles a capodecino. You work with what you have. And, as always, he will land on his feet.
But as an apparent advocate of Atwater and Rove, he can be dangerous to cross.
Be interesting to see whom Coffman endorses.
