So who's keeping track of the upcoming election?

[Artyboy]

Bob Schaffer for GOV
screw beauprex and ritter.
the GOP is going to be in the sh%*tter come election day. last time it was choosing pete coors. i have yet to see anyone grab my attention on either side. the local GOP nationwide is doing to bush what the DEM's did with clinton ............................as much distance as possible....................
also has anyone heard a radio or tv spot for a canidate that actually told you what they would do if elected? me neither

after nov 2nd the cost of a used firearm might be slightly higher in colorado
and after nov 2008 the cost of "evil" firearms will surpass the buying frenzy of californians prior to 1/01/2000
UNLESS THE GOP really gets their act together

You're not completely without choices http://www.dawnforgovernor.org/

I'd love to vote for a Libertarian, if there was a snowball's chance of victory.

Ritter is running too close to Beauprez, though. Beauprez, for any of his faults, is still solidly pro-gun and Ritter is decidedly anti-gun.

Want the Denver AWB extended state wide? Let Ritter get in.

Want more illegal aliens murdering in Colorado? Let Ritter get in.

Voting Libertarian when the pro-gun candidate has a sizeable lead seems harmless. When that lead isn't a lead then not voting for the pro-gun candidate is detrimental to your own freedom.

[Artyboy]

Yeah I realize that and it's too bad. I think she'll end up taking a lot more votes from Beauprez than she does from Ritter. The libertarian party's time is coming but right now it's just too close to take away from the people that have a shot.

Here's an interview that Dawn did a couple of weeks ago for the Rocky Mountain News. They played it on the radio at first but I missed it. The Rocky Mountain News printed it. After reading this I might have to vote for her out of principle. I like her.

If you are a 7th District voter I ask you to go to both Perlmutter's website and then O'Donnell's. Look for what each has to say on terrorism.

O'Donnell is for enforcing border security. What's more is this information he sent out in e-mail.

"Too many politicians hide behind poll-tested sound bites, blind partisan loyalty and devotion to their special interest masters.

Not me. As uncomfortable as it may be at times, as controversial as it may be, I will speak truth to power.

And the truth is, we are fighting a global enemy - Islamic Fascism - that wants to do Americans harm. The truth is, we have men and women in uniform putting their lives on the line and they deserve our unconditional support. The truth is, we have a Commander in Chief deeply committed to protecting America. The truth is, one political party in this country isn't serious about winning in Iraq. And the truth is, we need a new plan in Iraq if we are going to succeed."

I don't know how you feel about calling what we face Islamic Fascism. I'd imagine, though, that you feel that it's a shoe that fits.

Perlmutter isn't going to call a spade a spade.

We don't need any more mealy-mouthed, shades-of-gray politicians. We need someone who is willing to call 'em like he sees 'em.

That makes O'Donnell the choice for the 7th District.

Beauprez-will vote for him because of several of his positions, but wish I had a better option. He has also run a very weak campaign.

O'Connell will get my vote.

Sheriff will be Weaver.

I don't get 38. The endorsements for it are weak. One example they give of the great benefit of petitions is TABOR. You remember, that little piece of law that was nuked by referendum C. I can't believe that big tax increase that fooled a majority didn't show accountability as promised. :roll:

[rtr]

TABOR wasn't nuked, the provision that all tax increases must be voted on by the public still exists. All referendum c did was eliminate the spending limit for 5 years, after that 5 years TABOR is back in full effect.

I agree with Greg, Beauprez's campaign is seriously slacking. I see ads and signs for Ritter all the time, with very little for Beauprez, and on the news tonight the polls (accurate as we all know they are) had Ritter with 50% and Beauprez at only 35%.

O'Donnell sounds like the man. Mink is supposed to be pretty good for Jeffco Sheriff, right?

Voting no on Ref. I (gay-marriage-by-another-name) and yes on Ref. 44 (legalizing marijuana). Not real sure on others yet.

O'Donnell sounds like the man

perlmutter is a venomous anti-gun politician.
only one media ad has been played and didn't last to long at that .where it portrays perlmutter as one of the leaders of the anti-ccw, waiting period to buy a gun crew. and of course the lure the idiot voters catch phrase
"common sense" gun laws

[Artyboy]

I've decided that I'm going to go ahead and vote for Dawn Winkler. After the republicans banded together to rush that bill through that lets the president refuse trials to "terrorists" (they never did define what a terrorist is) I've lost a lot of faith in them. The democrats are just as much at fault, though. They let it go through and no one could come up with an intelligent argument when they were hammering out the bill. It's really a shame that Ritter is going to be our next governor. I really really really don't like him. Maybe Dawn will get a big enough chunk of votes that people will start taking the libertarian party seriously, at least in Colorado. We need it to happen badly.

O'Donnell's still got my vote for District 7. The only thing that I see Perlmutter doing is putting signs up in people's yards. It seems like his goal in this election is to piggy back on Ritter's success and try and associate O'Donnell with Bush. I did get a flier in the mail where he was trying to bash O'Donnell for a paper that he wrote 12 years ago. At the time he wanted to do away with social security. He's obviously changed his mind about that since then but Perlmutter is still trying to push the issue. On the front of that flier there was a picture of O'Donnell shaking hands with Bush. Unfortunately since most voters don't bother educating themselves about their candidates it'll still buy Perlmutter some votes :evil: .

I'm definately voting for Mink in Jeffco.
