The howling hooligans on the Left are all spun up about their chances to beat Scott Tipton. Nancy Pelosi’s Super PAC (as if anything Pelosi does could be ‘super’) is already taking Tipton to task for various and sundry items.
But our Republican friends tell us that the big guns in the GOP are sheepishly sitting back, waiting to pick Pace to proverbial pieces over a voting record that is more San Francisco than San Luis Valley.
This is at the end of the day the same Sal Pace who voted for all of the horrible, terrible bills that made Bill Ritter so unpopular that he did not even run for re-election.
Take for example this clip, where Pace is rushing to defend President Obama on gas prices, even though his approval rating on the topic is a laughingly low 34%:
A prominent Republican sent this clip along this afternoon, and said it is just one of many of Sal’s greatest hits. Use your imagination, and think about the 30 second campaign ad that this video clip all but writes for itself.
In an election that will be very much about the economy and energy prices, Sal Pace is on the side of Barry Obama. Figures, because when it comes to the economy and energy, Sal Pace and Barry Obama are one and the same.
Yes, liberal loons, chortle all you want about Scott Tipton. There will come a day for Sal Pace too…and it is coming very soon.
Forget the supposed weakness of Scott Tipton, the reality is that it is very, very hard to beat any Republican incumbent in any GOP-leaning district. It is one thing to knock off a liberal like Salazar in a conservative district, it’s another thing entirely to beat a conservative like Tipton in a conservative district. Given the left’s hope about the race, it leads me to believe that redistricting will end up looking more like the GOP’s proposed maps–and the current district lines–because the Democrats’ maps would obviously doom Pace.
Either way, I’m confident that Sal’s going to have a really tough time. I don’t blame Democrats for targeting the race, but it will likely end up wasting a lot of money. Frankly, I think that the GOP will do very well here next year, in this race and the big one.
there’s not enough pieces in the pie for both Brandon Mander and Sally Pace. There is virtually no way to divide up the voters enough to make both races dead-heats or even one to lean D. Barring either major gerrymandering (i.e. Boulder/GJ) or huge implosions by Tipton and Cory, both should win easily.
The one to really watch is CD 7 and CD 6. The further north and east the Dems dick with CD 6, the more it hurts Coffman. That seems to be an outside shot thankfully. It would need to absorb massive amounts of South Denver or Central Aurora to be competitive. Since it needs to shed voters, it’s not likely.
Likewise for CD7, the more of Jeffco it gets, the more that (ironically) harms Perlmutter. Jeffco sometimes goes Dem, but every county wide official is Republican and 2 GOP commisioners were elected in 2008. Once Lakewood and Wheat Ridge are removed from the equation, it’d be hard for Perlmutter to win a Jeffco-majority district. This is an outside shot too.
he did get charged in college for breaking into a vending machine. One can only get the visual of the chunkster Sally Pace busting open a vending machine for his Snickers fix. Like a moth to light.
