Hickenlooper was re-elected thanks to Tom Tancredo. Tancredo lost the Republican primary for governor and then mounted a third party campaign. Tancredo received just enough votes to snatch the victory away from the Republican candidate.

Now you can put Tancredo in the same barrel as McCain.

you’re either a liar or a stupid idiot.

Tancredo ran against Hickenlooper the FIRST time Hick ran in 2010, and Tancredo stepped in only after the fool Pubs nominated a total nutjob, Dan Maes, who btw, pulled in only 11% of the vote after claiming he was a secret agent for the Kansas State Police, while Hick pulled in 51%, a MAJORITY and more than ALL other candidates combined, it wasn’t possible for some other candidate to snatch victory away from Hick!

In 2014, Hick ran for re-election against Bob Beauprez. Not only was Tancredo NOT on the ballot (or even a write-in), but Trancredo was the one who encouraged Beaprez to run in the first place.

Tancredo did not run in 2014, when Hickenlooper was reelected.

He did run in 2010, and gave Hickenlooper a real run as a third party candidate. Tancredo was right to do that, the GOP nominee got mired in some scandal and selfishly refused to drop out. Blame him, he sucked votes away from Tancredo.
