Let's be real. Does this guy really think voters are going to vote for a man named "Noel"?
C'mon now. We voted for a Hickenlooper. One of the Rs name sounds like Broccoli. In Colorado, weird names are probably a plus.
I promise nothing, and I'm a man of my word.
"Incrementalism you can believe in" is objectively the best of the listed options, but Pseudo's is better.
In fairness to Noel Ginsburg, I think he's a credible moderate Democratic candidate. He drove up to Fort Morgan, spoke with our Morgan County Democrats group for about half an hour.
He was relaxed, knowledgeable, relatable, has a compelling personal story about adopting "Dreamer" kids. We were a tough room (well, mostly me). We grilled him about the "false promises" thing, which is mostly Ginsburg saying that Jared Polis can't promise universal pre-K education. Ginsburg doesn't think that's an achievable promise. He also thinks that Polis' 100% renewable energy goal should be more modest.
Several of us challenged him – my deal was that we can't afford not to invest in pre-K education, because otherwise those kids never, ever catch up to their peers. We'll be remediating them until college. Others challenged him on how well he'd stand up to Trumpian overreach vis a vis renewable energy or voting rights or immigration (DACA).
So we were a tough room, but he listened and responded appropriately and didn't evade questions. I still think I'm probably voting for Polis in the primary, but I have to say that Ginsburg handles himself well. If people are only looking for a moderate in Colorado, he's a credible moderate.
Ginsburg: not promising more than Hickenlooper ever delivered.
