GOP governor's group hints Colorado election is lost cause

[Liberal_in_LA]

Colorado Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes is shrugging off the suggestion that a national GOP group won't help finance his campaign anymore and said Wednesday he will continue to fight for votes.

Maes' campaign was reacting to Republican Governors Association Chairman Haley Barbour's remarks strongly hinting that the group was giving up on the Colorado governor's race. Barbour, Mississippi's governor, told reporters at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast that the association had "put some money in Colorado," but said that it was in the "past tense."

Maes recently lost support from the state GOP establishment after a series of blunders, including statements about his undercover law enforcement career in Kansas in the 1980s — claims which were not substantiated by his former bosses. He's been ridiculed for his suggestion that a Denver bike-sharing program is part of a U.N. conspiracy to control American cities and he's raised eyebrows for promising to fire 2,000 state workers immediately after he takes office.

1. I wish we had Maes-like luck in every state.

That would be wonderful. We need some creativity and intelligence efforts now!
