Good job Dick. Glad to have you on board.
I knew he was short, but not THAT short. He as only like 5′ 1″
is like 6 foot one inches of most people.
I’m not going to mess with him, even if I have half a foot on him.
Then it is good news. Clearly the idiots have learned nothing and deserve to continue losing.
which, I guess, is about 80 percent.
Honestly, why in the world would you be stupid enough to vote for PROVEN lossing?!?!?!?
Bill Ritter, Cary Kennedy, Bernie Buescher, & Michael Bennet would all like to extend their deep & heartfelt appreciation to the GOP for doing what is best for the state, regardless of how it hurts the GOP.
Until I walked in and everyone was wearing a Dick Wadhams button or sticker.
I knew my closeted friends in the Log Cabin Club were supporting Wadhams, but I didn’t know that it would be such a sweep.
So Turner actually said that if she stayed in the race, she’s split the vote and they’d be stuck with a liberal? These folks are delusional. All she would have done was shave off a percentage point or two from Tom Stone’s 20%!
As far as Wadhams’ claim that he paid off the party’s debt, IIRC the California GOP, knowing damn well that they have no chance of electing anyone statewide since the Governator is term-limited, threw some $$$ to the Colorado GOP. Isn’t that how Wadhams retired the debt?
Don’t get me wrong. I still think Dicky is exactly what the state deserves and needs, but he shouldn’t be taking credit for a gift received from Arnold Schwartzneger.
That said, Wadhams does have a couple of accomplishment about which he could crow about. First, under his watch, the GOP reclaimed H.D. 40. (On the other hand, pay no attention to the GOP’s loss of S.D. 26.) Second, under his leadership, Bernie Buscher was thwarted in his attempt become House speaker. Third, Wadhams managed to hold on to C.D. 6, and all it cost the GOP was the S.O.S.’s office.
The GOP needs to amend its party rules to allow the state chair to serve a ten-year term!
so that part wasn’t planned and words just came out. She was trying to make a hard point get across.
Beauprez, duh. He has experience running for Governor. Think!
to be state GOP chair. Apparently that’s a major qualification.
Beauprez is running for the Senate these days.
Tanc, it’s Tanc, right?
who is running for Governor or Senate or something is really and angry old man. Really, if you want to win votes at least don’t frown.
I think Josh Penry can win a primary though…the delegates went wild for him and he actually is a pretty good speaker. Colorado may hate him, but the GOP will nominate him
They would all get fired from American Furniture Warehouse. Ironically enough, they wouldn’t have a union to protect their jobs.
Turn into tigers and bite Jake Jabs?
good, no, GREAT NEWS!
Surely there’s at least ONE Republican who reads and comments on ColoradoPols who can explain why re-electing Dick Wadhams was the right thing to do for the party.
will surely start pushing more and more people to the right. Right? RIGHT?
Even Wadhams will be able to make hay from the mess that we’ll have. Much like the Dems were able to do with Iraq.
As soon as those tax checks increase along with the welfare rolls, a dog will be able to direct the opposition. The pendulum will swing naturally, with a little help from big government.
you’re saying Penry for Governor? Beauprez for Senate? Give me a break.
I’m not necessarily talking about Congress or the White House–in those categories you might have a point.
Here, I don’t see the Democratic brand going away anytime soon. Wadhams’ re-election has sealed that deal.
He’s a proven loser, and the Republicans here have now embraced said proven loser as their hope for the future. Good luck with that.
Welcome back by the way. You sticking around? It’s been way too easy to pick on Skeptic and Libertad. We need a challenge. 🙂
These cycles are much greater than a few elections. Bill Clinton notwithstanding (and his moderation being part of the pattern), we just completed a 25-30 year cycle of conservative hegemony in American politics, which in turn followed a 45 or so year cycle of liberal hegemony. Only a complete fuckup on the behalf of President Obama (who needs to get Congress in line, and fast IMO) can change that.
Why vote for more failure?!?!
