It could well happen if Dan ("more and better lies than O'Donnell") Maes doesn't pick up the pace in his race for governor! In CO the rule is that if your candidate for governor doesn't get 10% of the votes in November you move down ballot to "minority" party status. Four weeks out Maes is polling at about 15% (I've seen some lower numbers) in a state with about 33% Republican voter registration.
Of course when EVERY party big wig has asked you to resign from the ballot so they can "hand-pick" a replacement, things are bad. If Maes keeps dropping this way here's the way the CO ballot will look next time out.

I could care less about ranks. I'd like to see more sane rational adults on the ballot that aren't hell bent winning at any price or making slaves of themselves to an ideology to the point where they're smashing square pegs into round holes making a disaster on national scale. The smear campaigns and whining are a dead giveaway.
Just an indie raising my grievance with 2 party BS trumping the greater good. All of you--- straighten up and fly right!
Demwits will be the only group of people who will make a major loss into a victory somehow.
Amazing how the kool-aiders twist and turn everything.
The dems are sure to lose the house and will come close to losing the senate but they will turn it into a victory, wait and see.
As long as we gain 1 single seat in any race the rep party will be victorious to stop the total destruction of America by Obamdung and the band of corruption ran by Pelosi and Reid.

The only kool-aid drinkers (who are now considering arsenic) are the idiots who voted for the charlatan Maes to begin with.
EVERY member of the Republican establishment has asked him to step down so they can appoint a replacement.
Ken Buck (tea party) DA from Weld County who is currently leading in the Senate race REFUSES to appear on stage with him, as does any other R who wants to win this November.
Maes has been caught in so many lies he makes Nixon and O'Donnell appear to be truth tellers. About his record as a police officer, about his record as an "entepreneur".
He continues to make up wild conspiracy theories, the "bike share" program is a U.N. plot to overthrow the Constitution of the U.S.
The Denver Post cannot get one of its editorial writers to say nice things about him.
The right wing radio yahoos will occassionally have him on their shows, and then immediately regret it.
Yet somehow you think the Dems are kool-aid drinkers?
I guess you think, as another poster on here that O'Donnell is going to mop the floor with her opponent because she's so "brilliant"?

Well, in CO only the Ds have a "sane, rational adult" on the ballot for governor. Tom Tancredo has so much baggage that I'm suprised he's polling as high as he is. Dan Maes (R) has been caught in so many lies that if he were Nixon the House and Senate leaders would be telling him to resign before the impeachment trial.
Another bit of bad news for the Rs, concerning what happens if they fall to "minor party" status. "Minor" parties are subject to much more restrictive rules regarding fund raising, they can't raise as much as major parties apparently. This is something that the Rs put through the lege when they ran things thinking this would be a good way to restrict third party challenges. Oooops!!!
The head of the CO R party is quoted in today's Denver Post saying that they'll make sure to overturn that rule in the next legeslative session. The problem with that idea is that they'll have to try that with a D sitting in the governors mansion, who might not be happy to sign a bill to help the Rs. It's doubtful that the Rs will have veto-proof numbers in either house.
Also, the Independent party that kicked their guy off the the ballot so Tancredo could get on just found out that the "reporting and record keeping" requirements are much more stringent (and costly) for them now that they're polling up the the mid-30s.
Heck, the Denver Post even endorsed Hickenlooper the Dem!
