It's criminal that you left out Rep. Cletus Slugs the Bear!
I'm sad for Mike McLachlan, but the J. Paul Brown/Chaps one-two is going to be an amazing thing to watch. I hope Mike stays healthy and takes him right back out.
Ah yes. Pop the popcorn and settle in–the battle for the stage between J. Paul Brown and Dr. Chaps is about to commence.
Don't forget Janak Joshi! The Dr. Nick for Brown's Cletus.
Rural Colorado loves the way city folk refer to them as yokels. This will win some votes!
One of my good friends several decades ago was from Joes, Colorado (no apostrophe). Joes is a tiny (population: less than 30) place in about as rural a part of Colorado as you could find. Yet, just because he was from rural Colorado, my friend was not tied to rural stereotypes. Even then, he understood and believed in the threat of human-caused climate change. He believed in religious tolerance–including tolerance of Muslims and atheists. He supported reasonable gun regulation. He recognized the threat of giant agribusiness to the family farmers. He understood that, just because it is called the "theory" of evolution, that doesn't mean it is not solidly proven scientific fact. And, he understood that the Constitution was written by men who were not all Christians, and that it was designed to prevent the U.S. becoming a theocratic Christian nation.
Guess what his political affiliation was? Democrat–as were his parents and grandparents before him.
Not all rural Coloradans are bigoted, science-denying, theocracy-supporting, gun-nut morons who belong to the party of hate and ignorance.
I grew up 17 miles from Joes – a great little place we use to call "Little Chicago" in the 70's! Mrs. Nelson's restaurant was the place on Hwy 36 and the short-lived Mexican restaurant across the street was one of the best. About the only thing left in Joes today is the headquarters to what may be one of the best cooperative telephone associations in the US, Plains Cooperative Telephone. Thanks to the ARRA (thanks, Barack Obama) and an $11.1 million Rural Utilities Service loan, (guaranteed by our government), this patch of conservative Colorado landscape has gigabit internet service to every one of its 1,500 members, totaling 2,742 residents.
Yuma County has prospered thanks in large part to Democratic programs – not that you'd know that from reading any of the local newspapers today.
Meant to embed this link re: Yuma County As you can see, we have no aversion to accepting government handouts. (we received over $15 million in ARRA funds alone)
Vokels!
I always thought Mike McLaughlin would be a great candidate to go against Scott Tipton. In a presidential year, I think he could do pretty well. Somebody from Durango might activate that swingish area of Southwestern Colorado in a way the perpetual Pueblo also-rans never could.
