But I reluctantly agree that maybe now isn’t yet his time. Ryan’s a smart guy, but perhaps more importantly a very thoughtful person. But he’s young. He’s a councilman in Aurora. I wish him well in the primary and against Perlmutter. Assuming he’s not off to D.C., I really hope Ryan doesn’t disappear. The Repubs have a good thing in this guy. Don’t push him away. … I’ve been registered for awhile on this site, but haven’t posted anything til now. Feels liberating.
And don’t be shy, post away !! Mr. Madison and Mr. Jefferson wanted you to be liberated, that’s why they wrote the First Amendment.
Frazier looks like a good guy, a nice family man, smart…everything most Republicans aren’t but just like Penry I think he should wait it out. Too early for him. But the way things are shaping up I think Republicans could have a good chance with people like Frazier and Penry down the road.
and he has a solid background. I am guessing he will be a much bigger figure in Colorado Politics in the years to come. My two cents from a Dem.
And welcome hoovman !
As Rassy http://www.rasmussenreports.com/ reported a few days ago 80% of indies are opposed to the Democrat in the congressional generic.
You get some decent turnout or Rs and Us and Jimmy John can beat Perlmutter. I hate to say it but Ed’s voted for and strongly supported:
Cap N Tax
Card Check-Forced Arbitration
Obamacare
Bailouts
The opinion of the average Coloradan is driven by the indies and its anyones game at this point. Just Hope that ARRA bailout cash begins to re-flood the masses and there are no breakdowns over at recovery dot gov showing 625k falsely claimed jobs as “created or saved”.
Generic polling shows generic trends and favorites and are useful for getting a baseline feel of a particular district. But those numbers are usually drastically different when you match up actual candidates.
Last November, generic matchups showed that Ken Salazar’s Senate seat was up for grabs. But another poll that asked about potential matchups with Salazar using actual names, then Salazar polled 10+ points ahead.
Obviously these numbers certainly aren’t good for Democrats. But it’s an apples and oranges comparison to say that a generic R would beat Perlmutter. A generic R would beat a generic D according to these poll numbers. You can’t extrapolate more than that.
most people hate Congress but love their Congressman.
Oh, yeah. That’s going to go over real with Republican primary voters and independents in CD-7.
McCain got, what? 30% in the 7th and the general? And even less at the GOP caucus?
Ed’s got a huge bankroll, and its only going to get bigger.
Pols, do you really think he was recruited? I know you have it in for Frazier, but at least Frazier has some name recognition, and barring Ed getting caught with a five dollar hooker on Colfax, this is a throwaway for the GOP.
The Union Bosses might be throwing away Ritter, but this should give them an opportunity to spend those forced union dues.
Luckily its in town too, so unlike CO-04, they can canvass.

I was at the Jeffco GOP round up last Sunday and watched the candidates talk the talk. The only person that actually made an impact on the crowd was Ryan Frazier. He got people to cheer for him and actually get excited. None of the other candidates have done that. Looking around at the crowd I saw that Frazier had about 25 people that I counted working for his campaign, and it was a nice mix of young, middle age, and older people.
So after I got home I started to do my own investigating on the guy and I really think that he has a chance at winning. For crying out loud he raised more then Pearlmutter did! He has a strong base and has a strong team behind him. He’s well spoken and is very open to many different point of views. I think he will look good to the Democrat, Republican and Independent parties in the 7th.
Lang Sias is a good man. No arguing with that. But I don’t think he can even touch the independent vote in the 7th. I live in the 7th and have seen changes in the 7th over the last 4 years, and in my opinion they favor some one more like Ryan. Sias isn’t even that great of a Republican, he donated to Udall last year! We don’t need a so called “Republican” running against Pearlmutter. We need a strong conservative and Ryan is that man.
I understand that a lot of people are iffy on Frazier because he was forced out of the Senate race. I think its just another casualty of the Republican establishment. We all have watched good conservatives be forced out of the party by the heads of the party (Penry!!). Its time we stand up for these candidates and rally behind them. He has a good chance and we need to stand behind him.
