The Colorado Rockies will have three players in Tuesday’s Major League Baseball All-Star Game, which is weird considering that Colorado is one of the
After reading the charges that supposedly led AG Coffman to join Tancredo and Mizel to demand Chair House's resignation, I'm left with one question: Why in the world did she ever get involved in this? The charges are flimsy and do not speak well for AG Coffman's judgment. She's been with the attorney general's office for over ten years and she should know what competent charges look like and whether or not there is enough evidence to make accusations against someone, including alleging House is incompetent to be chair of the party. She needs to reflect on how she handled this and learn to be more careful in the future. This whole episode indicates very poor judgment on her part.
She didn't mean any of it to be charges in a legal sense. Just wanted to intimidate House into resigning. She obviously was so confident it would work, especially the Julie part, that she never thought any of it would become public. He'd just quietly resign. He didn't and there was no plan for what to do in that contingency.
Why in the world did she ever get involved in this?
I've been asking myself that question too. Did Walker Stapleton or Wayne Williams – both also constitutional officers and pillars of the state GOP – step in it like she did? No. Neither the congressional delegation nor the leadership in the legislature (i.e., Del Grosso or Cadman) was involved in this.
Two party functionaries (Mizel and Harvey) and a ex-Congressman (Tank) were the brains behind this. That should have told her something,
You forgot to put "brains" in quotes.
Which goes to R36's point that this was an ill-conceived action that does not reflect well on the AG's legal (much less political) judgement.
Goes triple for political judgement. What made her think that throwing in with that D-list flake brigade was good idea? You'd think she would have consulted with a really major player or two to find out how much support she could expect within the party before embarking on a coup attempt, a pretty extreme undertaking.
In fairness, they're A-list flakes, just F-list humans.
Tea Partiers are like cats, they act fully in the expectation that the universe will conform itself to their desires. I don't know much about Ms. Coffman, so I don't know what her level of political acumen is (or, rather, was), but once you get your invite to the Tea Party…well, I'll leave it to Nietzsche
If they were A-list House would be out. The proof is in the pudding. Just because they mouth off on talk radio doesn't make them A-list. Power makes you an A-list player.
Guess in her mind, that's why she didn't ask her husband for his opinion 😉
To each his own but it does seem to be an odd relationship.
Maybe if she and Mike cohabitated under the same roof, he could have warned her over morning coffee that getting in league with these clowns wouldn't be a very good move.
On the other hand he's got tons of credibility for claiming he never heard a word about any of this. Same roof? Not even the same zip code. He knows nothing.
