Denver Post Endorses Halter Over Lamborn in CO-5

  • 9 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols
Doug Lamborn (R).
Hey hey, ho ho. The Post says Lamborn’s got to go.

Republican Congressman Doug Lamborn has been taking withering criticism for his boneheaded revelation that he "and others" have been urging military leaders to resign in protest over President Obama's foreign policy. As the editorial board of the Denver Post notes today as it begins to roll out candidate endorsements, it's time for Lamborn to follow his own advice and hit the road:

Rep. Doug Lamborn last month demonstrated yet again why he should do Coloradans a favor and find another job. Unfortunately, the Republican from Colorado Springs is running for a fifth term in the GOP-heavy 5th Congressional District. He's the heavy favorite, but voters at least have an attractive alternative in retired Air Force Major Gen. Irv Halter, a Democrat.

And if they're as irate about Lamborn's antics as we are, they should seize that option...

Halter would bring a centrist voice to the 5th District — as well a level of dignity it sorely needs.

There's not much we could add here.

  1. yeah, but the Post is a lefty liberal socialist rag (/snark) according to Colorado's independents (that is, the independents to the right of Mike Rosen). The Gazette will set the world straight with the rightful endorsement of CD5's natural leader.

  2. Vincent Carroll, the last of a dying breed of conservatives. I guess it's OK that he's the editorial editor and Chuckie is the the political "news" editor as more people look at the sports, comics, recipes and editorials than go through all the news articles. Too bad this will have zero effect on the wackos of the 5th. Lamborn will coast to victory and live to embarrass Colorado for another two years. 

      1. ’16 is Jeff Crank’s turn to take him on. Crank and Rayburn take turns since both running against Lamborn in the same primary didn’t work out so well. Then again, one-on-one hasn’t worked very well either.

  3. Hard to believe that only 8 short years ago, someone posted on here (albeit sarcastically) under Le nom de plum Lamborn Has God-Like. Qualities.
