(Finally some fireworks in the race to succeed Bill Cadman – Promoted by Colorado Pols)
Rep. Gordon “Dr. Chaps” Klingenschmitt likes to come out swinging at his various targets, including, now, his Republican opponent for state senate, Rep. Bob Gardner.
Showing off his media skills, Klingenschmitt posted an entertaining video today, labeling Gardner a “liberal” and featuring Gardner doing the “Bob and Weave Dance.”
Klingenschmitt: My opponent for the race for State Senate District 12, Bob Gardner, has just started performing this Bob and Weave Dance to perfection! Here’s a quick example. If you’re following this Colorado Springs election, you know we’re both Republicans. And I’m actually conservative and Bob Gardner is a liberal who pretends to be a conservative.
Klingenschmitt’s undercover video features Gardner saying he supports the principles of liberty, but Chaps points to the Principle of Liberty website, which lists Gardner as receiving an F in 2013 2014.
“Don’t believe ratings systems that are odd, distorted,” Gardner apparently says in Chaps’ undercover video.
Chaps calls that statement an examaple of the Bob and Weave Dance–and he wants an apology from Gardner for allegedly calling Chaps a liar.
Chaps concludes with, “Unlike you, Mr. Bob-and-Weave Gardner, I don’t dance.” (But we know Chaps does throw poop.)

Your Chappy don’t dance . . .
If SD12 voters choose Klingenschmitt, they totally deserve the embarrassiment of Biblical proportions. If Gardner has any sense, he'll play El Gordo's greatest hits on an endless loop ad just to remind Republican voters about what they're in for.

That will probably guarantee that Klingy gets elected. Think about the mentality of the GOP voters in that senate district. (Think about the mentality of the GOP voters on the macro-level; think Trump, Carson and Cruz.) The wackier the candidate, the more popular.
Gardner's challenge is to sound sufficiently wacky without going completely off the edge.
From your lips… The seat will be R anyway, so why not have it be legislatively marginalized, and publicity-wise a sign of the inevitable agenda should they gain the majority.
I wonder if Mr. Klingenschmitt got permission from whomever to use the short snippet of the two actors; one is the late Andre the Giant and the other, I think, is Mandy Patinkin?
And, Wallace Shawn in the middle.
