how about some plain, non-tweet , English.
You know:
– so and so held (name the post)
– so and so left (to spend more time with family)
– vacancy committeeconvened, consisting of….(summarize process or playuhs)
– nominees: Kerr & Neville
– short bios
– vote results
I get that Neville surprised a lot of people. Well, Kerr anyway.
And what was Tancredo, advocate of seperation of school and state
doing there? I thought he was in Arapahoe?
Mike Kopp, who was also Minority Leader, quit after the tragic passing of his wife to spend more time with his family.
A vacancy committee was convened according to statute–this is a point of contention according to Kerr and Storey, who claimed that not every eligible elector was notified. That committee consists of all Republican elected officials in the district, including precinct committee people, party officers, and other electeds.
Jim Kerr is the current state rep from HD-28. Neville likes vouchers, and has a group that supported the failed “Dads” slate in Jeffco.
Neville beat Kerr 60-58 after a tense recount verified that those were indeed the results.
Tom Tancredo represented Congressional District 6, which includes Arapahoe County, Douglas County and southern Jefferson County. But he can generally be found anywhere when there’s trouble a brewin’.
I heard he had moved but don’t know where. He may still be in south Jeffco. Jim Kerr is a mental midget. It’s sad to say that he was the better candidate between the two. How low can the Republican Party go? In this case, I trust Scott Storey’s take. Republicans in the south Jeffco area are a pretty unpleasant, nasty bunch. Mike Kopp’s campaign was quite nasty in 2006, both the primary and the general.
Jim Kerr may be many things but he is not a mental midget and that was an incredibly cruel, tasteless and ignorant statement.
I had the opportunity to work with him on some Audit Committee issues. He may not be the strongest orator, but he really did understand the issues and had sound insights about what needed to be done.
He may have been too loyal to a party that is in devolution, but he does not have a malicious part in his character.
Shame on you for that ignorant and incredibly tasteless cheap shot.
I didn’t say that he is malicious, but he did spend time carrying Republican water on issues on which he was quite uninformed. If he couldn’t comprehend the issue, he shouldn’t have been out there speaking and trying to write legislation. Without education on the issues, he comes across as uninformed, misinformed, or incapable. He represented south Jeffco for eight years, which gave the community more than enough time to form well-informed opinions. Shame on you for thinking you’re the only one with an informed opinion. Shame on you for your incredibly ignorant and tasteless cheap shot from your myopic viewpoint.

Just like when Doug Bruce was selected. Didn’t that work out well?
and if the Republicans really do follow the lead of Kopp–ever the good solider–then they won’t have much to worry about.
But as Luning reported, a primary is still possible. And Kerr would be well within his rights to launch a primary bid given the contentious nature of the committee vote.
I didn’t see this before your other comment about the Pueblo clerk. What you and your ‘pub pals are doing there – THAT is what you call “manufacturing controversy.”
“I won’t lift a finger to help him.”
reminds me of Jefferson Davis’ comment when Confederates complained about him appointing Albert Sidney Johnston — Davis’ favorite commander — commander in the West.
“If Albert Sidney Johnston is not a general, then the South has none to give you.”
By the same standard, if Jim Kerr is not a conservative, then there are no conservatives in the Republican Party.
Johnston died at Shiloh. Kerr fell at South Jeffco.
He kicked Steve Harvey’s ass.
🙂
He outpolled the Eggmendment.
Which is presumably why he wanted to move up to the Senate.
Even though this district is heavily Republican at the current time, it is one of the last places in Jeffco where the rational Republicans haven’t left the party. I’m guessing now that there will be a lot of that, resulting in the changing of the political structure of South Jeffco. Without South Jeffco, the Republicans in Jeffco and the State (remember as Jeffco goes so goes the state) are in bigger trouble than they are already are. As former Jeffco Republican Chair, I invite all of my friends who have hung on to hope in the Republican Party to join me in exiting the party and punishing it until these nut jobs completely destroy our beloved party and we can form something new.
