blinded by his own ego.
I hope he can raise lots of money on his own, because I don’t see NRCC targeting this district.
Quiet rumors have suggested that Rep. Steve King (HD-54) is also interested in “challenging” John Salazar.
To his benefit, Steve King would be a perfectly coiffured, well dressed, and divinely smelling sacrificial lamb.
His mustache is so weak compared to the very impressive mustaches of Wes McKinley (cowboy) or Randy Baumgardner (biker)
I afraid Steve’s is just a little bit Village People.
You are evil, Doppleganger!
Now I can’t get rid of the image of King in a hard hat and some cut-off jeans …
(Mmmm … must think about doughnuts …)
His nickname was “Hollywood”
He wants to be sheriff. The incumbent is term-limited and the job pays a helluva lot better. It’s also scary. Stevie can’t do much damage in the House, where he’s in the distinct minority. But as sheriff?
we’d get from watching a “Hollywood” King vs. “Ladies Man” Wagner primary!
Wagner is not only a wingnut, he’s dumb and arrogant, and his weekly column in the paper gives him a chance to prove it regularly.
Rank-and-file law enforcement officers despise Wagner. They can tolerate Hollywood.
people asking about under what circumstances, exactly, Wagner left his position in the Sheriff’s Department.
And whether the answer gets out to the people.
As far as his wingnut column goes, that’s a big plus in Mesa County.
Many of them are not. You can’t win any Mesa County election without the support of moderate Republicans, and Wagner won’t get it. They’d rather hold their noses and vote for Stevie.
Back to Beeson: it’s always fun to see somebody who’s spent a great deal of his life on the government payroll railing against taxes.
It’s tragic so many people buy into it.
Your analysis is spot on with regard to general elections in Mesa County.
However, wingnuts have won, and will continue to win, Republican primaries in Mesa County.
They’ll win the primaries. When the Dems occasionally get their act together and produce a good candidate, they can win the general.
Problem is, Dems are so thin in Mesa County it’s tough to find solid candidates.
The GOP needs to have credible challangers in every race – that is a key part of our being a Democracy. So kudos to all the sacraficial lambs out there – regardless of outcome what you do is key for our system.
Beeson was the main speaker at the Tea Party in Glenwood on Wed. He complained about taxes, yadda yadda — yet, as the District Attorney, his position, the judicial system, etc, would be nearly non-existant without taxpayer support. Yep, this guy is off to a good start.
