He was always DOA anyway, but State Sen. Bernie Herpin (Who beat John Morse in the first recall election) is still doing his best to make the CO-GOP look good.

Like the people who put him in office, total scum.

It's nice to know that the Republican/Libertarian posters from Colorado are just as delusional as the Republican Party of Colorado.

No, it's not delusional, it's called Colorado being the petri dish experiment for Democrat utopia lifestyles that is being overran in this state with far left ideology from other failed states.

Gotta love those last few posts. Here's a less hackish, less dumb analysis:

-Secretary of State: Toss-Up/Tilt D. Gessler was a terrible SoS (Unless you're a complete GOP hack) who's only real interest was to help Republicans win elections. He's not running, but he may have damaged GOP credibility in the office. The candidates are University of Colorado Regent Joe Neguse (D), and El Paso County Clerk Wayne Williams (R). Former Senate Majority Leader Ken Gordon (D) was running and would've been the favorite, but died suddenly last December. I'd give the edge to Democrats, only because I expect Hickenlooper to win and I don't expect a lot of vote splitting when it comes to this office.

-Attorney General: Likely R. Another open seat (Incumbent John Suthers (R) is term-limited). The candidates are Deputy AG (And wife of Mike Coffman) Cynthia Coffman (R), House Minority Leader Mark Waller (R), and former 17th Judicial District DA Don Quick (D). Coffman and Waller are more high-profile and adept than Quick appears to be, and AG is an office that people often prefer Republicans for even in blue states. I'd give the edge to Coffman.

-Treasurer: Toss-Up/Tilt R. Incumbent Walker Stapleton (R) beat then-incumbent Cary Kennedy (D) by 1 point in 2010, but has had a relatively uneventful term as Treasurer since then. He faces two possibly strong opponents, former US Rep. Betsy Markey (D) and Mayor of Broomfield Patrick Quinn (D). I give Stapleton a slight edge due to his incumbency, but higher turnout due to mail-in ballots, a rapidly changing electorate, and a more favorable D environment might be enough to reverse the 2010 election.

For those think the CO-GOP is on the up-and-up, they nominated a white supremacist for a competitive House seat in Jefferson County

But no, yeah, Republicans will totally retake the Colorado legislature.

Bob Beuprez: Worried about Sharia Law creeping into Colorado, and is also a birther

The CO-GOP Convention was held today. Gardner hit a high enough percentage on the ballot (73%) to knock State Sen. Randy Baumgardner off the primary ballot. Gardner will now be unopposed on the primary ballot.


For the Executive side, Tancredo and Beauprez didn't contest delegates will just do the signature route instead. Mike Kopp got 34%, Scott Gessler got 33%, and Greg Brophy got 18%. Some Dudes Steve House and Roni Bell were eliminated and won't appear on the primary ballot.

Is it safe to say that the nominee will be either Tancredo or Beauprez?

Most likely Tancredo.
