At this point, Dan Maes has the Republican governor's nomination, endorsements from conservative heavy hitters like Hank Brown and not very much money -- which is why Colorado Republican Party head Dick Wadhams's $250 donation made local news. But while consultant Katy Atkinson suggested in July that Maes might drop out if he's cash poor, Wadhams says, "He's our nominee, and that's the bottom line," despite his fear that John Hickenlooper will win the three-way guv race in a walk.
Although GOP stalwarts like Senator Greg Brophy floated Maes-surrender scenarios, Wadhams believes "that ship sailed on primary election night, when Dan Maes won."
What about Wadhams acting as a messenger for third-party candidate Tom Tancredo, who pledged to drop his own guv bid if Maes agreed to quit, too, allowing the party to name a more viable candidate? At this point, Wadhams prefers to play down his role in the deal, which Maes summarily rejected. – More -
Wadhams is only loosing points with the real Republicans. Maes is a lier and a fake. All that he has said about his life and experiences is a load of crap.
ReplyDeleteEven if he could beat Hickenlooper, which he can't, would we really whant a con man like him running our state?
This man has a very jaded past and it will really start to come out over the next few weeks.
