NRCC Recruits Frazier to CD7

According to Politico:

Aurora city councilman Ryan Frazier generated buzz among Colorado Republican party activists as an African-American Republican star in the making, but his Senate campaign never took off.

Now he’s switching gears, announcing today that he’s running for the House seat currently held by Rep. Ed Perlmutter (D-Colo.).

Frazier brings a strong resume into the race, and becomes one of the GOP’s leading African-American candidates for Congress. Making the bounce from a city council seat to the Senate was seen as a stretch, so running against Perlmutter is a much more realistic goal.

And it’s a recruiting success for the National Republican Congressional Committee, which didn’t have any serious candidates running against Perlmutter.

Given the skepticism and disappointment entailed in previous reports from last night’s conference call attendees Ben, T.L. James, and NightTwister, it would appear that being tagged with the NRCC label immediately puts Frazier in the position of “establishment” candidate, whereas in the Senate race he ran a grassroots, underdog campaign.

Rocky Mountain Right is more optimistic about the prospect of challending Ed Perlmutter. While it is too early to game the new dynamic in CD7, Frazier’s entry will undoubtedly present a new wrinkle to the national relevance of Colorado’s races. In the meantime, he’ll have a bunch of work to do in trying to match Perlmutter’s hefty warchest and allaying concerns about his grassroots credentials–both of which will need to happen simultaneously if he is to be at all successful in 2010.

    Best Of Luck to Ryan Frazier! Hopefully, Mr. Frazier will continue in the vein of GRASSROOTS representation, and elude the GOP’s most certain efforts at inducting him into their corrupt mainstream. The Republican Party has rightfully lost the grassroots base of its constituency, as evidenced by the magnitude and momentum of the disaffected activist Tea-Party and Townhall members. In these days of a huge GOP credibility gap, WE NEED DEDICATED REPUBLICANS READY TO INSTILL THE WILL OF CONSERVATIVE AMERICANS, AHEAD OF THE AWFUL AND CORRUPT NATIONAL POLICIES WHICH HAVE SPLINTERED THE GOP LEADERSHIP FROM ITS BASE. Real Americans are SICK UP TO HERE with Illegal Immigration, Corporate Anarchy, and Elitist 2-Party NON-representation!!! NOW, under Obama’s and his Democrat regime’s socialist and unconstitutional “leadership” careening toward the hard-left, the time is ripe for a REAL conservative party to reassert and reinstall TRADITIONAL AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE VALUES into our representative government, something which has been criminally neglected by the GOP for years! If the Republican Party is to remain viable and palpable, its wayward management MUST accede to the desires of the average conservative American; sans this awakening, the GOP will be handing its traditional reigns over to the Dems – or, more favorably, to the -gasp- creation of a THIRD PARTY, which can enact THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE, upholding our U.S. Constitution and Rule Of Law, by conducting politics unfettered by corporate dictums and dishonest beltway “Politics As Usual”. Time will tell. We will be watching expectantly, Mr. Frazier.
