On the other hand, he has the mustache aficionado demographic on lock.
Don't forget the sex offender vote. Or is that a subset of the mustache afficionados?
And the wear-your-gun-on-your-belt-in-a-friendly-setting demographic. Randy will not drop out of this race easily. He's been telling people around the state for more than 2 years that he was going to run for the U.S. Senate. There's so much in his history that is not well known – will be interesting to watch this evolve. One example: He tried to remain a CDOT employee when he was elected to the State House. Maybe he thinks he'll be able to serve as both a State Senator and U.S. Senator at the same time . . .
Well- if all elected officials kept their current gig when they go t th enext one, it would make gov't smaller.
As for the mustache- I've seen this before. He'll lose a bet any minute now and that will be that.
This guy is picture-ready for the next Bubis novel …
… BTW, anyone know for sure whatever happened to the Indian, the construction worker, or that sailor guy???
Ole randy's EXACTLY the right guy at the right place at the right time………if you're the sitting US Senator up in '14.
Baumgardner's precisely the extreme complement to 1Y tommy t's GOOBERnatorial characture the Dem's need opposite us this next election.
We've had our share of extreme right wing cornserative christ-ee whackadoodles posting here for a while, and frierson's "pal" randy and the ever insane 1Y tommy t personifies that mindset.
Realist and Curmudgeon referenced porn 'stache randy's proclivity for the "exotic", as well as his penchant for double dipping. Both traits red blooded repugnantcons either overlook or condone…….as long as the perp's a fellow repugnantcan. They'll both win any primary. They ARE the red base.
But……….Colorado's demographics just don't support the same idiocy as a pure red state….Alabama, Tex-ASS, etc. Extremism can't win here any more.
It's almost too much and too good to be true.
The even better news………..the red base thinks that's a winning ticket.
Well, if you don't have any credible candidates, that calls for having INCREDIBLE candidates.
POLs is probably right that he won't last long, but it would be funny to have Baumgardner sweep the GOP primary clean 😉
Sen. Owen Hill is in too now. May Amy Stephens is the moderate… relative to these clowns. Such fun, the Sleeping Majority and the Silent Giant approve!
The next generation of Colorado Republican leaders is rising! I believe Democrats are afraid of 2014.
And you should be!
I'm afraid of 2014 because I might have to hang my head in shame every time Sen. Baumgardner speaks, knowing that he's just made Colorado look stupid in the national media.
The Silent Giant! The Sleeping Majority! Owen Baumgardner Amy Tancredo Buck! In a Landslide!!!
Well, they definitely have the mustache afficionado / sex offender /wear-your-gun-on-your-belt-in-a-friendly-setting voting block sewn up.
How many is that, Guppy?
Hey ArapGoof. Just get home from summer camp, did you?
Randy is a nice guy but I would be shocked if he has any real support by primary time.
Psssst … the
nicegood guys wear the white hats …Couldn't they find a better photo of him? I think it's unfair of Pols to often use bad shots of GOP candidates and good ones of Dems.
I suppose you could link to one that you find more flattering, if it makes you feel better.
That's a good shot.
He looks fundamentally unhappy in that shot. People tend to vote for someone who puts out a positive vibe. Serious & wise is good. Unhappy is not.
That's a good shot. I have never seen a picture of the man smiling. I'm sure they exist, they are not what he uses in his own materials.
Oh, ok. I guess that's what he wants then.
It certainly looks posed so I assume this is how he likes to present himself. He probably thinks he looks terrific, just like a tough guy from a John Wayne western. Pretty sure that's what he's going for.
I think I see me a pair of "steely blue eyes". I think you're on it.
More like Kevin Bacon, wearing a tiny pair of fur chaps on his face.
He does not smile – I'm guessing he thinks this kind of look projects the strong, silent cowboy type – maybe he thinks of himself as a John Wayne movie star kinda guy. I may have said this before but he is the best example the saying "he's a legend in his own mind" I've ever encountered.
Maybe he looks so mad because after decades of trying, he's never managed to get the best of that long-eared, flat-footed, carrot-munchin', fur-bearin' varmint…. Consarn it!
Priceless.
Could be…Garfield County Commissioner and rising O&G media star, John Martin, thinks he is Wyatt Earp.
Randy, on Randy (paraphrased): "I'm not smart enough not to run."
And here is the message from @CapitalCowboy (sic) also paraphrsed: :"Garble Gooblydegook run on and on and on and say nothing."
From Mr. Ashby at the GJ Daily Sentinel.
Just keep talkin' Randy . . .
Actually, his defender below (on the facebook comments) is pretty hilarious, too……
