Tom Tancredo calls on Scott McInnis to quit governor’s race; RGA is NOT out of Colorado

Tom Tancredo is calling on Scott McInnis to drop out of the governor's race, according to Adam Schrager at Channel 9. Link is here.  But the Republican Governor's Association is NOT pulling out of the Colorado Governor's race, as falsely reported by ColoradoPols.  An RGA spokesman, Tim Murtaugh, describes the Colorado Pols report as "Fiction." And "Nothing has changed," he declared in a phone interview. "The RGA has been and remains engaged in Colorado," he said in the phone interview, adding: "Our goal has been and continues to be defeating John Hickenlooper and getting rid of the entire Ritter legacy. Nothing has changed. We don't get involved in primaries. Our role has been to this point engaging John Hickenlooper. Colorado Republicans will decide who their nominee is. We wait to see who the winner is and we will support that winner." A lot of people appear to be working to make sure McInnis is not that "winner." Last night on the Caplis and Silverman show, KHOW 630's Dan Caplis was the first prominent Republican to call on McInnis to drop out, and former U.S. Rep. Tancredo is the first former elected Republican to make the same demand. I called on McInnis to drop out Tuesday. The Denver Post followed on Wednesday and today numerous conservative bloggers at http://www.peoplespresscollective.com and saying McInnis must get out of the race. And blogger Rossputin, a highly respected conservative blogger, has joined me in calling for McInnis' primary opponent, Dan Maes to drop out, too. This is because Maes is seen as being unqualified to be governor and a sure loser in a run against Obama Democrat Governor-elect John Hickenlooper. As I've been warning, if McInnis stays on the ballot, all Colorado Republicans will be hurt in what's supposed to be a GOP year.

    Maes can’t win. He’s an accident of the Liberty Caucus getting their point across at the State Assembly. Point’s made, now let’s get ourselves a real candidate.

    Caplis just said on the radio “If Maes had made $300 K for a water paper, at least we’d know he really is a successful businessman.” Maes appears to be a fraud, to that smart lawyer, and to this housewife. He can’t even keep his campaign fund and his businesses up to date with the Secretary of State. The guy is pathetic.

    The SOS allows “unknown” as an option for employer. When Maes volunteer didn’t know a contributor’s occupation, she clicked on “unknown.” Apparently state law doesn’t allow that even though the SOS lists it as an option. That was nine of the ten errors.

    The tenth error was accepting about $500 in advertising from a friend. Unfortunately, the friend DBA as a corporation.

    I’m betting there is not a single campaign report submitted that is totally without error. I would like to see someone go through all of McInnis’ reports. I’m assuming they are not without simple errors.

    Maes made no attempt whatsoever to defraud or deceive anyone.

    Agree with Val. And further, the large fine is because there is a daily fine…..and the mistake happened in January. Now, why didn’t someone call and let them know they had used “unknown” and they were not allowed to do so(why do they have it, if you can’t use it?)
