Colorado has a new congressional district in 2022, and we need you to predict its future!
Our readers are traditionally pretty good about projecting the outcome in key races, so tell us: Who will advance from the June 28th Republican Primary to challenge Democrat Yadira Caraveo in the General Election?
Will it be Weld County Commissioner Lori Saine? How about State Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer? Perhaps you are bullish on Thornton Mayor Jan Kulmann? Or maybe you have reason to believe that Tyler Allcorn — whoever he is — has the inside track to the GOP nomination.

*Remember, as always with our totally non-scientific polls, we want to know what you legitimately THINK will happen — not what you hope will happen or which candidate you support personally. If you had to bet the deed to your house that your prediction would be correct, how would you vote?

I don't know any of these people. Not given to defining people by appearances, I, nevertheless, am struck by the eyes of all three ladies.
Scary.
Kirkmeyer's eyes actually look more psychotic than Saine's eyes. Maybe she put some drops in to make herself look more MAGA-like.
Some nutjob. Take your pick
The question is who will be the nominee, not who should be.
If the GOP were smart, they would select Kirkmeyer who has the ability to bridge to gap between what remains of the establishment Republicans and the MAGA nut cases.
Instead, the primary voters are being treated to a feast between Kirkmeyer and two others (Kulmann and Alcorn) trying to straddle that rickety fence between establishment and nuts cases. With a three-way split, that makes the chances of one of them emerging as the nominee impossible.
The unadulterated MAGA candidate in its pure form, Lori Saine, wins the primary with between 40% and 50%.
Let’s hope so. Dr. Caraveo will wipe the Saine stain off CD8’s floor.
Sounds like a little dose of complacency there. People tend to vote their pocketbooks. The high rate of inflation doesn't work in the Dems favor and it probably won't abate much in 4 months. And, it's a good likelihood the R dark money machine will play it up big time.
Rewatch the Republican Rumble. Kirkmeyer reads her responses stumbling over words. Kulman has the discipline to go over the same losing oil drenched point. Alcorn ears make him a loser.
Joshua Marin-Mora, that Hoya hotty, was probably right to ratfuck Saine out of the debate.
100% chance the Repuke nominee for CO-08 will have some hardcore Karen energy.
Leave my wife out of that mess.
If CD8 voters vote their pocketbooks, they won’t vote for the R nominees that represent the oil and gas industries. That’s Kirkmeyer and Kulmann. Saine represents the firearms industry. That’s also not a huge jobs or income provider in CD8.
Those industries are making only their top execs rich, while making the rest of us poorer with high gas prices, and less safe with “guns on demand”. Even a low info voter knows there aren’t any drilling jobs, and that the projects are on hold because it’s more profitable that way.
The eventual R nominee will get about 45% of the vote, regardless of who that is. And it will come down to messaging and turnout. Saine’s public statements and her scary gun toting at the airport will make her much easier for Caraveo to defeat.
You seem to discount the R dark money machine and its effects. But whatever.
CHB, who’s your dog in that fight? I seem to remember you promising to contribute to Kirkmeyer, although if elected, she would certainly vote to open up all your beloved wilderness lands for drilling and extraction activities.
You don’t live in the CD8 area, IIRC.
To be clear: I think Dr. Caraveo can win CD8 easily if Lori Saine is her opponent. It becomes closer with Kulmann and razor-close with Kirkmeyer, given the effects of name recognition.
Of course, there will be dark money and disinformation. Saine’s PAC has already made ads portraying Dr. Caraveo, a long time pediatrician, as a “baby killer” abortionist.
Did you think I was advocating that Dems should just sit that CD8 contest out? Will you?
Once again your memory is faulty. I don't recall saying anything about giving money to Kirkmeyer.
The top two look like mug shots. Nice smiles there Lori InSaine in the membrane and Kookmeyer.
True.
Oh and I think I knew your cousin HeavyD
