        <Name>Call Tom Tancredo at 303-858-8336, and Tell Him to Get Out of the Way!</Name>
        <Summary>Tom, unless you have SOLID EVIDENCE that Dan Maes is guilty of SERIOUS CRIMES, SUPPORT THE CANDIDATE WE REPUBLICANS ELECTED TO WIN THIS RACE!</Summary>
        <Description>&lt;p&gt;By John Gaudio,&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;I'm pissed.&amp;nbsp; I very rarely use that term, but when the supposed leaders of our Republican Party turn on the candidate, Dan Maes,&amp;nbsp;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!&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The worst allegations I've heard are trivial.&amp;nbsp; Minor accounting errors.&amp;nbsp; 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.&amp;nbsp; Next I suppose we'll be exposed to &amp;quot;evidence&amp;quot; from a childhood friend that Dan picked his nose when he was six years old.&amp;nbsp; Is it true?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Why would anyone&amp;nbsp;care?&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;This is a game of chicken.&amp;nbsp; 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.&amp;nbsp; 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.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;It's time to print the ballots.&amp;nbsp; 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!&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;GET OUT NOW, TOM, or be forever known as the man who handed Colorado to John Hickenlooper in 2010!&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Rasmussen still has conservatives, Tom Tancredo&amp;nbsp;and Dan Maes, ahead of liberal, John Hickenlooper, by two points.&amp;nbsp; And that's in the middle of this ridiculous in fighting, with Hickenlooper paying for commercials, and Maes having to fight his own party!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Is Tancredo more popular than Maes?&amp;nbsp; Hell no!&amp;nbsp; Dan Maes is ahead of Tom Tancredo by a full ten points!&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;It's time to act like adults.&amp;nbsp; Dan Maes has carried the ball to the goal line, with very little help from the Republican&amp;nbsp;movers and shakers.&amp;nbsp; Now&amp;nbsp;some want to throw&amp;nbsp;Dan Maes off the team so that one of them can have the glory of&amp;nbsp;scoring.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;It's not fair.&amp;nbsp; 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.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Get out of the way now, Tom.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Support fellow conservative, Dan Maes, for governor.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;It's time for &lt;u&gt;you&lt;/u&gt; to do what is right!&lt;/p&gt;</Description>

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."</Synopsis>

            <Name>RE: Call Tom Tancredo at 303-858-8336, and Tell Him to Get Out of the Way!</Name>
            <Summary>Nice Try</Summary>
            <Description>&lt;p&gt;Funny, I think maybe 1 or two people called the campaign office per the title's suggestion.&amp;nbsp; What planet are you people living on and with what is the Kool Aide spiked?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Dan is now officially the third party candidate.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Tom is the hero in this and the only viable, credible conservative candidate in this race.&amp;nbsp; Now is the time to unite behind your principles, not one who represents the opposite thereofe.&amp;nbsp; Unite behind Tom.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;-----&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Thanks for your comment.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;officially&amp;quot; according to what authority, that of Tom Tancredo, who still polls lower than Dan Maes?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Uniting behind principles would require playing by the rules.&amp;nbsp; Tom isn't doing that, on many levels, and it seems his very candidacy may be invalid.&amp;nbsp; He's certainly changed his mind, and his story, far more often in the last two months, than Dan Maes has in these last&amp;nbsp;several years.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Still, I'm glad to hear from you that a few people called to tell Tom to get out of the way.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;More will follow.&amp;nbsp; But if they can't convince Tom to quit, &lt;a title="Will judge remove Tancredo from the ballot for breaking Colorado election laws?" href="http://www.kdvr.com/news/kdvr-tancredo-lawsuit-txt,0,4655570.story" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;hopefully the judge will&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; :-)&lt;/p&gt;
