Round 4:
Lopez (place holder candidate) - 34
Harvey - 26
Sonnenberg - 24
Holtorf - 14

Holtorf goes to the mic and throws his support behind Lopez, the placeholder candidate. #copolitics

Looks like a good night for Boebert.

Harvey+Sonnenberg still have two more votes than Lopez and Holtorf.

But when one of them is knocked out next round their supporters probably go Lopez/placeholder rather than give the other guy a leg up in the full term primary.

A profile of Greg Lopez from his 2022 run for Governor. He is scary conservative.


https://www.cpr.org/2022/06/20/greg-lopez-the-suburban-ex-mayor-challenging-the-republican-establishment/


Quote
He believes President Donald Trump won the 2020 election, a false claim whose purported evidence has been rejected by dozens of courts. He says the “jury is still out” on whether climate change should be a priority for lawmakers. And he told Colorado Matters that he would not have implemented many pandemic restrictions, comparing vaccine mandates to racial segregation.

He opposes legal abortion, with no exceptions for rape, incest or the life of the mother. His campaign says, however, that he would allow operations to remove a non-viable but still-living fetus. (Ganahl generally opposes abortion but supports exceptions for all three of those reasons.)

In a speech at the GOP assembly, Lopez promised to abolish “critical race theory and the sexualization of our kids from public schools.”

Moves the Special from Safe Republican to Likely Republican IMO. Very red district but Lopez is that awful and in a low turnout election weird things can happen.

Lopez served as Director of the Small Business Administration from 2008-2014. He settled a federal case involving influence peddling after leaving the SBA, saying he was never made aware of the rule he was accused of violating. He was also arrested for drunk driving and, 30 years ago, for domestic violence when he was Mayor of Parker. He says everyone makes mistakes and says he's learned from his.

Boebert is not that bad honestly. She has become a lot more quiet after her 2022 scare. I'd rather get rid of MTG than her.

It’s worse because Boebert is representing Douglas County which is the best part of Colorado IMO. This is like MTG suddenly representing East Cobb.

How are Douglas county and East Cobb the best part of their respective states. Its just miles and miles of ugly suburban sprawl.

I'm not surprised Buck's complicated plan is failing, too many moving parts.

I doubt all of Lopez’s final round supporters are Boebert fans. The 12 in the first round probably were the true Boebert believers while the ones who hopped on later were guys who had a stake in the other eliminated candidates (Holtorf, Lynch, etc.) The big mystery are the 6 Harvey supporters in the penultimate round who defied his call to vote Sonnenberg.

That being said I still think Boebert loses her primary, since we’re back to where we were before Buck resigned but after the Trump endorsement, and I still had her as an underdog even then.

Boebert faces the exact same problem Madison Cawthorn had. GOP primary voters are getting tired of her antics. It’s the same reason Cori Bush is in trouble.
