True-Conservative/True Progressive Showdown!

[awshucks]

Yesterday was the deadline for the Sec. of State to change the ballot in the Colorado Governors race. GOP candidate Dan Maes was courted by sucessive party leaders in an effort to have him withdraw in time, which probably could have given the GOP a win. Of course, if Maes had only the usual RINO problems, they would have never bothered, and Mr. Maes would have stepped into the governers office as the 'R', due to the rejection by 60 percent of our purple-state's voters of the wildly progressive Dem. John Hickenlooper along with their rejection of current progressive and anti-American events that he has readily embraced as the current Mayor of Denver. Mr. Hickenlooper has ties to radicals such as Van Jones, and radical-left causes through the Chinook-Fund, which he founded in the 80's. Most of this has yet to be disclosed; that's what a campaign will be about.

Tom Tancredo may not have liked it, but has expressed on more than one ocassion that the party-over-person aspect of the GOP usually 'bulls' it's way to election of a RINO. Tancredo said that after talking with him on a couple of occassions, he had decided that Maes was unelectable due to what he saw as numerous disqualifying characteristics, and that by the time of the election, Maes would never defeat Hickenlooper. He also stated that even if Maes could win, that he would not be good for the State. So Tom entered the race as the Constitution Party Candidate.

But Maes' obstenance yesterday effectively moves-forward the almost coersive win for Mr. Tancredo that he himself predicted upon his entry into the race, while Maes, through his almost-deliverative incompetence, has turned himself into a pariah within the Republican party in less than one week's time. That's really an accomplishment by Colorado-GOP standards for one of their elected candidates. At least one GOP heavyweight said yesterday upon his withdrawal of endorsement for Maes, that he was made aware of "serious problems" that have not yet become public. The volume of this week's events won't escape many Colorado Republicans, even with the predictable mis-reporting of the Denver Post. For the last few days, the damage has been done through a flurry of shrill reporting which has lain-out the drama of Maes' resistance to the 'wisdom of his party's leaders'. Hence will be the drop of Republican voter-support for Maes to the nominal level of the brain-dead and the truly clueless; and there ain't many of those in the Colorado Conservativative electorate these days. I guess that's what the campaign will be about too.

Because of visceral hatred of Tancredo coming from the Ruling-class Left, and the love and adoration coming from a nationwide following of Country-class Conservatives, this race will unavoidably take on huge national importance, and bring further noteriety to the Constitution Party and Tom Tancredo, as they are pitted against a Democrat machine with all of it's considerable progressive fuelings. This while Maes becomes increasingly irrelevant, and the heretofore 'unmentionable' Tancredo becomes one in a two-man race.

So, approx. 10% vote for Dan Maes, approx. 30% to John Hickenlooper...

It seems as if the GOP is conceding this race...
