Dan Maes Racks Up Key Support; Tambor Williams as Running Mate?
by Ben DeGrow | 5:41 pm, August 16, 2010 | 1 Comment
News this afternoon from the Dan Maes for Governor camp brings news of the Party core growing more united around his candidacy, with a couple of giant endorsements reported on Facebook:
But all the speculation now is around tomorrow’s deadline for Maes to announce who his running mate will be. As Amy Oliver ably speculates, one of the two finalists almost certainly is Tambor Williams of Greeley. While she won’t wow anyone with big name recognition, she would balance Maes’ weaknesses with her experience as a four-term state legislator, head of the Department of Regulatory Agencies and appointed service on the state’s Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission, in addition to her private legal practice. In 2002 Williams signed the Colorado Taxpayers’ Pledge.
We’ll know for sure tomorrow whether Maes-Williams will be Colorado’s Republican ticket for 2010.
For those who are wondering, my views about Dan Maes’ candidacy pretty much line up with what Rossputin wrote this morning (except I am more inclined at this point to vote for Maes than for the Libertarian candidate).

Seems like being on the ultra secretive Commission on Judicial Performance and CUT are contradictory positions. She’s got lots of ‘splainin’ to do or I’m voting Libertarian.
The Commission by the way gave “retain” recommendations to the Supreme Court justices and the evidence withholding scumbags in Larimer. They only gave a no-retain recommendation to one of 134 judges up for retention this year. They tout their myriad criteria and lengthy published evaluations. But they’re nothing but fig leaves for a bogus process that is nothing but a rubber stamp for all sorts of unaccountable legal losers.
I assume she’ll resign her post on the commission now. I expect to her to open up about what a crock it is after she does. If she winds up instead as an enabler and apologist for Colorado’s pathetic legal establishment, Maes has permanently lost me. On Amy’s radio show she seemed quite the enabler, but maybe she felt constrained because she was still on the commission.
