Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes said Monday he didn’t stay in the race to the bitter end to win but to help start a conservative revolution within the Grand Old Party. Maes said his candidacy is part of that transformation.Asked by radio talk show hosts Dan Caplis and Craig Silverman on KHOW’s Caplis and Silverman Show why he continues to stay in the race despite mounting pressure to get out, Maes said he is on a long-term mission.
“Because the purpose of this was to bring the Republican Party back to its conservative roots and that wasn’t necessarily going to happen in an 18-month election cycle or one election cycle,” Maes said of the his continuing candidacy despite the possibility it will get Democrat John Hickenlooper elected. “This is halftime for the conservative revolution of taking things back for the GOP the way it is supposed to be.”
Maes said that he suspects a fair number of people who publicly support other candidates will vote for him today. – More -
