Instant Messaging with my *Republican* pal at CSU.

[rockymountaindem]

Ok, so he's a pretty bad conservative and I think he'll be an official Democrat before too long, but he's got some cool things to say. He's one of the smartest people I know, but I think he should quit physics and just open a BMW/Audi dealership. If God puts us on earth for a reason, his is to run a German car dealership.

Anyway, here's what he says:

Him: Mrs. Kerry actually stopped by the university yesterday. not sure what she said.

Me: That's good. Colorado is going to be close.

Him: Alot less closer from my perspective.

Me: What do you mean? I guess Ft. Collins is pretty conservative.

Him: Not so. I've seen man pro-kerry posters around the entire state.

Me: So did I. Did you drive through downtown Colorado Springs? It was a Kerry/Salazar love-fest.

Him: I'll let the chips fall were they will, I think much of colorado is unhappy with the last 4 years.

Me: Well, that's bad news for Bush.

Him: good news for progress (that one floored me!)

Me: Incidentally, you should also vote for Salazar, because he's a friend of small business.

Him: And not for Coors, for he is a friend of the beer industry. I can't stand people who get bored in the CEO positions and run for office.

Man, this guy's one of the good ones. Which of course means he won't be a Republican for long.


On edit:

Talking about the dismal state of the Repubs in Illinois:

Me: So yeah... your candidate is a pervert, so to replace him you drag in someone from another state who was a laughingstock to begin with.

Him: Foolproof!

I love this guy.

I agree with him on his Coors statement - Millionaire brew man thinks he can waltz into the senate in CO - I don't think so.

2. Great to hear!

My former students at CSU have told me the GOTV stuff is everywhere and there is a huge Dem advantage.
It would be great if Fort Collins and maybe Greeley (college kids & Hispanic population) could go strong for Kerry, Salazar and Stan Matsunaka in the 4th district. Marilyn Musgrave is a complete tool.

3. Hope your pal quits being a repug by Nov. 1.

Otherwise, it may be too late. We may all have to change to Repug.

4. Oh, no way he's voting for Bush.

I am heartened to see this analysis from the other side. I thought it was just me!
