With the new redistricting, I'm no longer in CD6.  I'm now in CD 4.

Looks like the line moved a smidge north of me to County Line Road.  Good Riddance to Jason Crow!

I'm going on vacation in a week, so I have to drop my ballot off early and I've slacked off on paying attention to the primaries and would appreciate it if everyone can help fill in my knowledge gaps.

So is this Robert Lewis guy worth kicking Ken Buck to the curb?

I'm also wondering who's the pick for Governor? Greg Lopez or Heidi Ganahl?

And if anyone else lives in Dougal County, who do you like for sheriff?  There's 4 names there... John Anderson, Holly Kluth, Lora Thomas, Darren Weekly

I went with Lopez for gov, but realistically. Puck one and it won't make a difference anyway. Not a chance Polis will be unseated

I've been going through this to figure out the ballot:

Definitely voting Hanks for senator. He and I know some of the same people and he is a legit 2A staunch supporter and isn't pandering when he discusses issues. He truly holds to the values he espouses.

As for Governor: I think Lopez has a better chance than Ganahl, though unlikely to win. I also find Ganahl's lack of survey response frustrating cus her website sucks. For all I know she is way better than Lopez, but I cannot find that info to verify.

But think of this: who are hispanics and minorities *more* likely to vote for on the gubernatorial ticket: a gay liberal (Polis) or a White woman; a gay liberal or a Hispanic male? Personally, I think the contest is a little more likely in Lopez's favor than Ganahl's in this regard, and I'd love to see Polis booted - even if unlikely.

Here's Ross Kaminsky's voter guide if anyone is interested.  He makes some good points whether you agree with him or not.

Thank you!  Ross is good.  He reasons everything out.  I like Mike Rosen's stuff too, but he rarely does anything for primary season.

To all you dreamers out there who think it still matters, I wanted to extend my gratitude towards your continued struggle.  

As for the rest of it, the people who actually run Washington DC with an iron fist are preparing to welcome another busload of elected tourists into their midst.  

"Senator, the CEO of Raytheon is here.  He has your check and your new directives for this year...don't forget your 2 o'clock meeting with the FBI to discuss those pictures they have."

We have to try. Watching the anti 2A fuckery in the local municipalities should drive home the importance of local and state elections.

Lopez, like Hanks, may be a hell of a guy and pass a conservative purity test.

However,  any time a Republican primary candidate receives significant donations from the democrat party, it's because the dems have decided "this is who we want our candidates to run against."

I think Kaminsky made the same point.

So I voted Ganahl. Who has the added advantage of having won a state election, unlike Lopez.

Not a single person I voted for won. lol

Democrats are playing 4D chess in their levels of sophistication and sleaze, while the GOP loses in the first round of a hopscotch game.

Not in the case of our primary.
