The Colorado GOP is about as competent as Laurel and Hardy. They do not embrace conservationism, they do not back moral legislation. They are in the mold of Bill Owens who squandered both houses in the state government, was instrumental in the loss of both federal senate seats and the governorship. Over the last few years the elected republicans have done nothing but whine. They have failed to advocate core principles. They voted to censure Doug Bruce the only real small government zealot in who cares more about Colorado than getting reelected or good press. The Colorado GOP just doesn't offer much. But, Dan Maes, the Republican, did get 10% of the vote assuring that Tom Tancredo is not the governor.
“The Colorado GOP is about as competent as Laurel and Hardy.”
Hey now. Laurel and Hardy are funny. The Colorado GOP, not so much.
CO Republicans need a remedial course in conservative activism. Might I suggest looking at my state WI. We were a bluish state that gave zero a double digit win in ‘08. Yet, this year, we gave the Congress 2 new Republican reps and a Senator (a TP conservative not a rino). We also took back the governor as well as the state senate and assembly from the Dims.
We have a very large TP movement all over the state.
On Wisconsin!

Maes had issues. Only the uninformed voted for him. All the states conservatives came out endorsing Tancredo (I). Maes was the only (R) I did NOT vote for. I'm just surprised he still got 10%.
I would have written in "Mickey Mouse" before I would have voted for a (D-) however.
