As is Pitkin County. Click here.
Colorado's GOP has faced many surprises over the past decade. Not the least of which was watching a mass exodus leave rank and file by burning their red card and signing up as an unaffiliated/Independent voter.
The end result is not a jump ship on conservative principles. Far from it. Unaffiliated conservatives in Colorado are a very powerful group of folks and they are active in support of their politics. The end result is that GOP functions are not attended well. GOP messages are read but set aside. The inherent snobbery of some in the party seem to feel that is 'no loss'. After all, they know we are most likely to vote conservative in the end.
They're wrong.
It is a catastrophic loss to conservatism in Colorado. We are divided for no viable reason other than a GOP that is obsessed with power, money and control.
Too bad all caucus turnouts will be better than in recent memory yet falling far short of what they could be.

SandBox Comments: Glenwood Springs Post Independent "GOP caucuses scheduled for Feb. 7"
Of course we disagree.
Let's just say that maybe there was a real high-profile candidate that wanted to hit Colorado for a presence at our caucus time.
Where should that candidate pick to land?
Rifle, of course. With lots of press releasing all over the state because Rifle is enough of a central location that he could easily pick up folks coming over from Vail and Eagle County, down from Pitkin County, over and down from Routt, Moffat and Rio Blanco counties, over from Mesa County and up and over from Montrose and Delta counties.
How would he get here and be in and out easily?
Why, fly into Garfield County airport which handles any size plane and he would be right there in Rifle, Colorado!
Piece of cake.
And, since Colorado is the premier battleground state for November 2012, it would be a very, very smart move for a high-profile Republican candidate.
just sayin...
