Thoughts/hopes for Colorado’s next governor?

I think most of us NYers north of Albany would give you Hochul for free!

Part of the problem is the primaries as well, if you register independent “cough” “ cough” which D’s have instructed many to do you can pick which primary to vote in

I’m moving to the Pagosa area. In a pure blue state with that rule it might be better for me to register independent and vote for the most moderate D in the primaries.

Interesting

U.S. Senator Michael Bennet visited Steamboat for a Town Hall Thursday. One issue he brought up on Easy 94-1 was the wolf issue and how he spoke with ranchers here who were frustrated that the wolf plan had not been followed as far as reintroduction and management.

“I worry a lot about the trust between the Front Range and the Western Slope. The wolf stuff has really made things harder. There are a lot of ranchers in Colorado who believe people in Denver want to push them off of their private land, push them off of their ranches. Cattle ranching is such a fundamentally important way of life.”

Great if he can be taken sincerely (I know nothing about him). However, inclusive pragmatic talk like that might cost him the primaries.

I'd be surprised if Bennett doesn't win. He is not necessarily pro 2A, but he does seem cognizant and bipartisan to hunting, fishing and conservation policies. I hope of he does win, he doesn't get influenced by anyone in the current admin of CO and shakes up the CPW commission with actual representation of our constituency.

Elections in CO, funny. This state went 100% mail in ballot over 20 years ago. During the Biden years I was working downtown off and on and very early in the day. I saw with my own eyes the caravans of blacked out buses with no logos hauling in illegals to the center of Denver before 6:30 am typically. I saw the same caravans on I-70 heading west while hunting on the plains. I saw the massive buildup of huge apartment buildings all over the metro area for the 5 years leading up to the invasion.

I saw Tina Peters uncover election fraud and get sentenced to 9 or 10 years in jail. I saw Jena Griswold release the passwords to election machines for months leading up to the 2024 election and suffer zero consequences.

So you all enjoy this discussion about elections and primaries and best candidates. It's cute.
