Ytterberg would certainly be a departure from the Colorado GOP paradigm, and his experience as a CEO is intriguing. The Jeffco chair gives him some experience, but how knowledgeable is he for the task of rebuilding? Be interesting to know his support beyond Jeffco.
Are you kidding? No departure from the past. Many GOP Chairs have been businessmen. Bo Calloway and Bruce Benson come to mind from my era, but there have been others since. Please.
As for Ytterberg, the word is that in his campaign he didn’t work and just expected for the numbers to come in and have him win because of the 527 expenditures. He got romped and was surprised. Doesn’t sound like such a good choice to me for Republicans, but for Dems, maybe as close to an unprepared choice as there is.
I shared the ballot with him in Summit County and we became close friends – Don ran a great race for SD16
Nonetheless – Don was running against Dan Gibbs, who was probably the finest State Senator in Colorado, from 2007 to 2010 (and thus, VERY tough to beat)
The current CO paradigm. The state demographics have changed dramatically the past decade but your tilt towards the past has interesting parallels. Bo Calloway had to engage the republican schism of moderate vs conservative, along with Cheney’s aggression during Ford’s campaign.
And I have never heard Ytterberg’s work ethic impugned
You’re so funny. What happened to your spies in the GOP?
Apparently you’ve failed to yet look up the meaning of that, or you’ve decided to go ahead and get a PhD in it.
Now why don’t you put that noggin to good use figuring it out.
Going for a record?
Another one for you to figure out.
I’m running
and your one endorsement is from a Democrat!
I just said I’d be better than the alternatives.
(Yes this breaks my no replies to BJ rule – but I couldn’t resist the above reply.)
incredible as it seems, the Beej seems considerably more obtuse than ever.
Don Ytterberg and Larry Carillo are two VERY good candidates for this spot
Of all the counties I campaigned in, no county was better organized, more cohesive, and more intelligent than Larimer County – no matter what GOP meeting you went to there, there was a cohesion, and amongst the GOP counties, the activists in Larimer always asked the most intelligent questions — a HUGE reason why was because of Larry Carillo – he runs his Central Comm meetings with strong leadership that demands intellect, not ‘scorching the Earth’ TeaParty commentary — if Larry Carillo becomes the next GOP Chairman, the GOP improves DRASTICALLY
Don Ytterberg is also an excellent choice – in 2010, Jeffco and El Paso seated the most delegates, so Don Ytterberg’s hands were busy, but outside of that, he ran a great race for SD16 in 2008 as I ran with him – Don understands grassroots campaigns and organization
I will say though – I am more impressed by Larry Carillo, but both are excellent choices (and if you read my past comments on this matter, I’ve brought up Larry Carillo and Don Ytterberg each time)
Lastly – both Don and Larry are VERY honorable and VERY honest – that is good for Republicans and us, as Democrats…
…then again, Ted Harvey causing the nosedive of the GOP is fun to think about (and believe me, if you don’t think it can get any worse for the GOP, then you clearly haven’t met Ted Harvey…)
Nobody I’ve talked to supports Ted Harvey.
but working at the Jeffco Victory Center, the only thing the Jeffco CC did was plan a 9/11 picnic/softball game (which they spent some months on…). The district candidates were pretty much left on their own, besides the people who worked at the HQ.
He still ran a great State Senate campaign, and was there now and then at the HQ, but it’s just unfortunate the party didn’t do more than that. Of course, it’s difficult to get hardcore CC members when they do have jobs to worry about.
(Not their fault at all but) We were always out of materials, the call scripts weren’t that great, the programming for the phones could have been much more efficient, the only time people showed up for GOTV was when somebody like Frazier spent an hour there, so the CC really could have taken on some stuff of their own to help. There were a whole lot of close races, and very few volunteers.
Shame.
Seriously. Shame.
not some protest on the government…
“patriot”
Please.
Really?
…lol…
before joining Baron…it’s kinda odd. I give him a .01% chance to win, but what’s there to lose?
Maybe Penry will do it.
maybe Penry can get someone to give it to him.
