Republican Troy Eid, who pulled his name from consideration for U.S. Attorney a few weeks back, has reportedly decided to run for CU Regent at-large. With all of the media attention CU has garned in the last two years, the CU Regent posts seem to be getting more popular.
Elsewhere, Ben Coleman announced on Saturday that he will not be a candidate for HD-1 after all. Coleman pulled out to help his wife, outgoing HD-1 Rep. Fran Coleman, in her bid for SD-32, though he would have had a difficult time defeating favorite Alfredo Hernandez anyway.

As a junior at CU, I think its awesome that Troy Eide would run for regent. This place needs someone like him to KICK SOME ASS and clean this place up. He’s AWESOME.
Who will be in charge of raising money for Troy, his old law partner Jack Abramoff?
I am honored to know Troy Eid. He embodies the definition of a leader and statesman. The contributions he has made throughout stands as a symbol of humility and integrity to those that examine his career and seek to emulate his spirit of service. Students at CU will become future leaders through broadened thinking skills, and preparation for social and civic responsibilities. Who would that person be to help pave the way? Troy of course!As a Native American, I am most impressed by Troy Eid’s appreciation and respect for the Native American population. I know this understanding gives him the ability to effectively respond to challenges which arise, and it speaks well of his own personal development and strength. He has taken time to hear of our issues and concerns,and supports selflessly in yet, there are critical issues facing CU. Troy Eid is one of the key components to restoring the prestige that CU is known for. GO TROY EID HE’S ON OUR SIDE!

Does Alfredo really have that much support in the district? I am watching HD1 with interest, but as an outsider as I don’t live there. But when I go to HD1 events I don’t see strong support for Hernandez from the people who live there. He usually has supporters from outside the district with him. The HD1 folks appear to be gravitating to either Jeanne Labuda or Margaret Atencio.
Of course, I suppose Hernandez could be waging a secret campaign and focussing on getting his supporters to show up where it matters: the caucuses, the assembly , and later the polls.
There’s a big difference between what a few people who show up at house district events think of candidates compared to who has the best chance of winning, Dan. By your reasoning, you would have assumed that Mike Miles was the obvious favorite in the senate race after the state convention. It doesn’t mean squat.
The poiint I was making is that Hernandez shows up to things with NO local supporters in tow. A rather odd way to campaign, that’s all. And it will be the Assembly goers that decide if he gets n the ballot or not, just like they did for Miles.
One big difference is that Hernandez is in a 3-way race and the number 3 person probably won’t make the cut. It’s numerically possible, but leans in the direction of unlikely.
