Tom Tancredo’s saying that Scott McInnis has to quit or he’ll run as 3rd party candidate
by Donald E. L. Johnson | 6:52 pm, July 22, 2010 | 6 Comments
Scott McInnis has to decide. Is it time for Gov.-elect John Hickenlooper to measure the curtains in the governor's mansion? Will he let his kids live with the disgraced McInnis name, which will be hard to live down if doesn't quit the governor's race? Does McPlagiarist plan to spend the rest of his life herding sheep because he won't dare set foot off the ranch? How will he explain to his contributors that he not only blew off the Hasan Family Foundation, he blew off people who sent him more than $2 million for his campaign? Can he stand being the butt of Colorado jokes for the rest of his life. He's no Bill Owens, Roy Romer or Dick Lamb. Will he make his living talking about mishandling his disgraceful demise to ethics classes? Does he really want to let Tom Tancredo use his gubernatorial campaign to sell his Amendment 42? That ballot initiative would make Colorado a UN-Free Zone exempt from any UN treaty that overrides the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution. Today, Tancredo said that if Scott McInnis and Dan Maes don't promise by next Monday, July 26, that they will drop out of the governor's race if they win the Aug. 10 primary, he will run as a third party candidate. Tancredo wants the winner of the primary to drop out and let a 24-person vacancy committee name a new candidate. Tancredo correctly believes that if McInnis or Maes runs against Gov.-elect Hickenlooper, they'll not only lose to Hick, they'll take down the entire GOP ticket with them, regardless of national trends. If Tancredo winds up in a race against McInnis and Hick, 95% of Republicans, including this one, will vote for Tancredo. 80% of independents and 100% of Democrats will vote for Hick. Scott McInnis must decide what kind of state he wants Colorado to be. He needs to decide how he wants Colorado will remember him. And he has to decide whether he wants to make the McInnis name such a joke that his kids and grand kids will move out of the state to escape his reputation.Comments

Are you serious? Really? SM and Dan Maes are polling well with Hick. Once the primary is over the full force of the GOP will be behind them (Dan Maes for me). Tancredo is a nut job and the fact you are giving him so much ink is really not helping the process. He needs to fade in to distance! SM and Dan Maes need to ignore him.

I can’t believe it, it’s a new low, stooping to bringing a candidate’s (any candidate’s) children into an article like this. Shame on you. Maybe you should get a job with the National Enquirer!

I moved Laura Victoria’s comment from the duplicate post here:
“You really hit it out of the park with this one, Donaldo. So is the idea that it would be made abundantly clear to Colorado GOP that they should vote McInnis and he will simply be a stand-in for a named most-likely candidate? And with this strategy, plus some negative campaigning against Maes that he’s not electable in the general, the Mixter/surrogate would win?
Dan has obviously not come out kicking and screaming about his electability throughout all of this. I don’t mean kicking Mc, since he’s getting plenty of that, but coming out campaigning hard, giving lots of interviews, etc.
Sounds like a plan. Sounds like you’ve given Mc a lot to ponder. Sounds like DW needs to put the pressure on now and stop living on fantasy island.”

So a person who lectured 9-12 leaders on working within the party & don’t split off to a 3rd party is now in your view the best candidate? How is what Tom Tancredo is doing principled? To demand that the 2 candidates drop out or else is nothing more a public display of an ego run amuck.
Tancredo is the one who insisted that McInnis was the best candidate, the most electable, etc. and so instead of sticking w/McInnis & doing the right thing he throws McInnis under a 747 Jumbo Jet. Yup that’s the kind of person we need in govt.
I stand by Dan Maes as he is principled! Yes his campaign made some clerical errors but he took responsibility w/o throwing anyone under the bus.
We keep saying we don’t want career politicians & then when “one of us” runs for office we expect a perfect candidate who knows every little detail.
The race is set – the horses are selected – let the race finish.
Shame on you Tom.

Here’s a thought. Tom Tancrado should have gone to Dan Maes and said LET ME RUN YOUR CAMPAIGN!!!! We the people who got off our couches and got involved went to our caucus, went to the assembly and are active in OUR CHOICE FOR GOVERNOR SHOULD NOT BE UNDERMINED BY THE ELITES AND THE LIARS IN THE GOP. If we wanted Tom Tancrado, Hank Brown, Josh Penry and on and on and on to be Governor they should have BEEN IN THE RACE!!!! We want a man like Dan Maes, Not Scott McGinnis!!!!!! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM!!!!! Call me undereducated about the whole situation GO AHEAD!!! COMMON SENSE do you Elites know the meaning of those words???????
