By John Gaudio,
I'm pissed. I very rarely use that term, but when the supposed leaders of our Republican Party turn on the candidate, Dan Maes, that we, the Republicans of Colorado, have elected not once, but twice, to represent us in the race for governor, then unless they've got SOLID EVIDENCE that Dan is guilty of some SERIOUS CRIME, it's time to stop undermining his campaign and start supporting our Republican candidate!
The worst allegations I've heard are trivial. Minor accounting errors. Discrepancies about the purpose and amount of one contribution, from a former Maes supporter who now supports Tancredo, and minor details about Dan Maes' role in an undercover operation 25 years ago, do not a smoking gun make. Next I suppose we'll be exposed to "evidence" from a childhood friend that Dan picked his nose when he was six years old. Is it true? Why would anyone care?
This is a game of chicken. Tom Tancredo, and some other members of the Republican movers and shakers club, were surprised when their candidate, Scott McInnis, got into trouble and came in second. They don't trust this newcomer to win, and/or don't want him messing up the status quo if he should win, so they're trying to strong arm Dan Maes into getting out of the race, when they should be doing everything they can to help him beat John Hickenlooper.
It's time to print the ballots. Dan's wife says she won't let him quit, and I believe her, so it's time for Tom Tancredo to swerve back to the right, and avoid the head on collision that could well hand this election to John Hickenlooper!
GET OUT NOW, TOM, or be forever known as the man who handed Colorado to John Hickenlooper in 2010!
Rasmussen still has conservatives, Tom Tancredo and Dan Maes, ahead of liberal, John Hickenlooper, by two points. And that's in the middle of this ridiculous in fighting, with Hickenlooper paying for commercials, and Maes having to fight his own party!
Is Tancredo more popular than Maes? Hell no! Dan Maes is ahead of Tom Tancredo by a full ten points!
It's time to act like adults. Dan Maes has carried the ball to the goal line, with very little help from the Republican movers and shakers. Now some want to throw Dan Maes off the team so that one of them can have the glory of scoring. It's not fair. It's not right, and they are begging the Republicans who support Dan Maes to split away from the Republican Party if they pull off such a dishonorable betrayal.
Get out of the way now, Tom. Support fellow conservative, Dan Maes, for governor. It's time for you to do what is right! |

Unless you have SOLID EVIDENCE that Dan Maes is guilty of some SERIOUS CRIME, or you really want John Hickenlooper this November, It's time to support Dan Maes for Colorado Governor. |  | http://blogs.denverpost.com/thespot/2010/08/31/dan-maes-wife-i-will-not-let-him-drop-out/14176/ |

Tom, unless you can prove, today, that Dan Maes is guilty of some SERIOUS CRIME, it's time to get out of the way!

 |  | Send a Few Dollars to Dan Maes |  | Let Dan and his supporters know that you're behind them. Encourage them to beat the odds one more time. Maes bet McInnis in spite of being outspent ten to one. Let's help him beat John Hickenlooper. |  | http://Dollars4Dan.com |
 |  | Hear John Andrews on Why We Need to Support Dan Maes for governor of Colorado. [I am sorry to say that John Adrews told me at 4:50 PM today that he "can no longer give Dan Maes the benefit of the doubt."] |  | John Andrews says "[Dan]'s got fly specs, and no more than that, on his campaign finance filing. Those things are complicated. Anyone can make that mistake. Keep our eye on the ball. We need a conservative Republican governor, not a liberal Democrat. We need Dan Maes, not John Hickenlooper. Those are the alternatives. Those are the only alternatives." |  | http://abetterblogsite.com/public/item/258906 |
