New Colorado A.G. - John Suthers

[El Supremo]

I don't remember him. Was he on Ken Salazar's list of replacements? All I know is that I voted for Kenny in 1998 because no one else could even hold a candle to him. Is this BO's way of paying us back?

1. Suthers WAS on the list of Salazar's recommended replacements

we'll have to wait and see how the Legislature reacts to get a feel for this.

2. Well. It could be BO's way of paying us back.

While I fought to get Ken Salazar in the senate, I knew this would be a problem if he won. I don't know much about John Suthers, but they will not vote on it until next month, when the legislature is in the hands of the Dems. We'll see what they do. They may let him in if he is not overly controversial. However, we need to get a good AG candidate as well as a gubinatorial candidate for 2006 at any rate.

3. Rutt Bridges

should be the Gov. Candidate. He runs the Big Horn Center. That's the think tank where Gary Hart works.
