(This is why straw polls are completely ridiculous barometers of support. Dan Maes will be Governor when Tom Tancredo is named Ambassador to Mexico. – promoted by Colorado Pols)
Last Thursday the GOP in Denver met and had another straw poll for the Senate Primary and the Gubernatorial Primary. Some of the results are very different from April’s Straw Poll. Here are the results…
For Colorado Governor:
1. Dan Maes – 37.93% (up from 0% in April)
2. Josh Penry – 24.14% (down from 47.6% in April)
3. Scott McInnis – 10.35% (down from 14.3% in April)
3. Undecided – 10.35% (up from 4.8% in April)
4. Bob Beauprez – 6.90% (up from 4.8% in April)
4. Hank Brown – 6.90% (up from 0% in April)
5. Dan Caplis – 3.45% (down from 4.8% in April)
Tom Tancredo – 0% (down from 9.5% in April)
Mark Hillman – 0% (down from 4.8% in April)
Ryan Call – 0% (down from 4.8% in April)
Dan Maes has move up from last to first place. He knocked out Penry and McInnis. Maes must be working hard. Perhaps he will be a real player in 2010.
For U.S. Senator:
1. Ryan Frazier – 55.17% (up from 42.9% in April)
2. Cleve Tidwell – 13.79% (up from 4.8% in April)
2. Undecided – 13.79% (down from 19.0% in April)
3. Ken Buck – 6.90% (up from 0% in April)
4. Bob Beauprez – 3.45% (up from 0% in April)
4. Scott McInnis – 3.45% (up from 0% in April)
4. Bob Gardner – 3.45% (up from 0% in April)
John Suthers – 0% (down from 4.8% in April)
Hank Brown – 0% (down from 4.8% in April)
Mark Hillman – 0% (down from 4.8% in April)
Bill Owens – 0% (down from 4.8% in April)
Tom Tancredo – 0% (down from 4.8% in April)
David Balmer – 0% (down from 4.8% in April)
Dick Wadhams – 0% (down from 4.8% in April)
Ryan Frazier is still the favorite here. Tidwell is starting to gain some ground, and a lot faster then Ken Buck. Looks likes someone thought McInnis still wants to run for Senate.

Also, what are the real numbers — not just the percentages.
Thanks for putting this up.
In any case, it looks like Pols’ work is done. McInnis and Penry are on the rocks. Next up: Frazier.
By examining the percentages, one can tell that there were 29 people voting overall. all of the percentages are multiples of 100/29 = 3.45.
as pointed out two posts below.
“Tom Tancredo gets 66% support in straw poll!”
Uh, how many people were participating in the poll?
Three, and the other one voted for Satan – as the lesser of two evils.
The Denver County GOP straw poll? There are something like 10 Republicans in Denver County, and most of them vote Democratic because their party has been hijacked by nut cases.
I agree with “twas”, show us the raw numbers!
Apparently this time there were 29 votes cast.
So Bob Gardner (!), Scott McInnis and Bob Beauprez got a single vote each for senator; Ken Buck got two votes; undecided and Cleve Tidwell got four votes each; and Frazier got 16 votes.
er something like that
This means almost nothing.
That made me a little suspicious. But Ryan should still take his team out for steak and lobster.
David Balmer, fresh off his less-than-successful run for House Minority Leader, is now running for U.S. Senate?
in April but didn’t spring for the $1 straw poll entry fee in May. That’s the real news!
Just as far to the right as Penry, but without the political experience and charisma? Makes perfect sense to me.
Please, please, pretty please nominate this guy.
Get the ball rolling on this GOP.
and he does pretty good at that. If there are debates he’ll do well. But that still doesn’t make up for experience.
at an event a couple of weeks ago. He even has cards printed up and everything. It says on the back:
1. New Ideas
2. Fresh Face
3. Natural Leader
4. Fiscal Conservative
5. Executive Leadership
6. Proven track Record of Business Success

…although I’m sure David will soon weigh in with a comparison to his mom’s.
It’s lovely. Now, who the fuck is Dan Maes, again?
but it takes a bit more than a website to win an election.
and elected office experience..He is qualified in other areas
Dan Caplis… that would be highlarity.
I, for one, cannot wait…
Sounds like he has a bunch of friends on Coloradopols.
