Has pols reported yet that Chuck Norris got 35 pct of the ballot at the CD 1 Assembly Saturday and will thus face Diana DeGette in the Democratic primary? Unlike Lamborn, Degette is a very effective representative and as Chief Deputy Whip she is third in House Democrat hierarchy, after minority leader Nancy Pelosi and Whip Steny Hoyer. I had a good talk with Norris at the County Assembly. He's no flake and Diana needs to take him seriously. I'm confident she will and hope to see her as Speaker in about 2022.
Close V., but I believe James Clyburn (D-SC) is the minority whip and behind Steney Hoyer in the Dem leadership. And Frank Underwood knows the pecking order in the House Dem leadership.
In any case, DeGette isn't going anywhere.
She's a chief deputy whip, along with another half dozen or so folks. Then there's the senior chief deputy whip, then the minority whip, Mr. Hoyer. Basically, more whips than Fifty Shades of Grey #NotMyChristian.
Is it better for Democrats to have:
A. An experienced, total idiot GOP rep in CD-5?
or
B. A newbie, guaranteed more intelligent GOP rep in CD-5?
Who says she's more intelligent. That has yet to be proven.
Probability theory. It would be extremely difficult to be less intelligent.
I understand that in the last weekly House tavern trivia competition, Lamborn finished just behind vase of three day old roses and painting of a rock reflecting, in repose.
Lamborn has still life-like qualities?
Option "A" for sure.
Wouldn’t it be funny that after all the drama of Jeff Crank and Bentley Rayburn, this woman comes out of nowhere and defeats him?
The best thing about Lamborn is that he is ineffectual.
You wish that GOP primary voters back the "newbie" but they won't regardless of anti-Lamborn sentiment which has festered for years. And I do think you and others will benefit from learning a whole lot more about the "newbie" and her checkered history. If millionaire Blaha couldn't unseat Lamborn, how will this cash-strapped neophyte young woman prevail without robbing Robin Hood?
Oh, so now "conventional wisdom" is nothing more than speculation. Thanks for the clarification.
Lamborn has been singularly ineffectual in Congress, so it isn't too surprising that he's vulnerable to even what would ordinarily be a fairly timid primary challenge.
yeah, that would be different…

The article said "without a Democrat in the race", this is not accurate. Lord only knows why anyone would want to run in CD5 as a dem, but there is in fact, a D candidate.
