Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker Vulnerable to Potential Recall Campaign

CO Gov: Maes’ Low Total Could Cost GOP “Major Party” Status

By: Jon Walker Friday October 8, 2010 9:03 am

According to Colorado state law, a party’s candidate for governor must get over 10 percent of the vote to retain the legal status of a major party. If Maes fails to cross that threshold, the Republican Party in Colorado would be demoted to minor party status. At only 13 percent, this is the lowest Maes has been in the polls. The general trend of all polling has Maes steadily losing support as the right-leaning vote coalesces around Tom Tancredo, who is running on the American Constitution Party ticket. Although the chance is probably remote, there is at least a possibility that Maes could fail to get 10 percent in the general election.

By: Teddy Partridge Sunday October 26, 2008 8:01 pm

Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, spilling the beans in his SFGate blog, talks about the two-and-a-half-hour lunch he and DiFi had in North Beach the other day, where she brought lots of charts and graphs: not about the race to get 60 Democrats in the Senate, but about how the state government needs to manage its way out of the mess Arnold has made.
