A Rasmussen Reports poll of the Colorado gubernatorial race finds that Democratic nominee John Hickenlooper is only four percentage points ahead of Tom Tancredo, the Constitution Party nominee. See here. The Republican nominee, Dan Maes, is at 12%; Hickenlooper is at 42%; Tancredo is at 38%; other candidates are polling 2%; and 6% of the voters are undecided.
Still moving in the right direction!!!! Although many people are voting early, there will still be those on election day who won’t vote for Maes under the great reasoning of “He can’t win”. If Tancredo loses, I will not gripe about Maes being a spoiler candidate. Many CP and LP candidates will finish third this year and if we don’t want the GOP or Dems to complain about “third party spoilers”, then we can’t complain if/when the GOP or Dems become the third party and still chooses to run candiates. Have a great weekend!
sorry for the typos, I was in a hurry…
I thought Tancredo would finish 3rd, but he might just win. Does he really consider himself a member of the Constitution Party?
No. 3. If Tancredo were to pull a miracle, the CP leadership will not let a Governor Tancredo rest until and unless he agrees to run for President in 2012 on the CP ticket. If this were to occur, it would mean Obama could pull a Harry Truman.
Eat your heart out republicans!
Very cool!
