Colorado Voters Reject Conservative Tancredo – Choose Leftist Open-Borders Hickenlooper For Governor

Colorado's Governor-Elect John Hickenlooper

While the conservative resurgence throughout the nation in yesterday’s election looks promising for Americans who are desperately reaching for the brake pedal to stop Obama’s out-of-control side-skid to the left, Colorado Democrats continue to hold on to considerable power.

   Given a refreshingly real choice between conservative secure-borders candidate Tom Tancredo and radical leftist Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, the voters chose the option that will ensure Colorado remains an open-borders, sanctuary state for illegal aliens.  The Looper, as he is called by some conservatives, won fair and square – in pretty much a landslide.  The invasion continues.  For Michelle Malkin’s pre-election take on the issue click here.

 Leftist media mogul Dean Singleton’s Denver Post editorial staff has been hammering Tancredo for weeks.  The Post is now the only major newspaper in Denver, since the more conservative Rocky Mountain News closed its doors a few years ago.  Hickenlooper’s refusal to reveal to which organizations he has donated millions of dollars, his sanctuary city policies, and his endorsement of self-proclaimed revolutionary former Obama-aide Van Jones were not enough to convince Colorado voters to choose the patriot. Here’s a bit of Hickenlooper/Van Jones footage:

 From the Post comes this:

 “As the last minutes of Election Day ticked away, Colorado was looking less like a part of the red Republican wave sweeping the country and more like a Democratic island in a GOP storm…”

“…The Democrats also held onto the governor’s office in a race that turned out not to be as close as many polls had it when Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper swept aside hapless Republican nominee Dan Maes and former Congressman Tom Tancredo, who ran as a third-party candidate…”

For those among us who held high hopes that Tancredo could pull off an upset, the decision of the electorate is disappointing and discouraging.  But, the decision has been made, the voters have spoken  - and Colorado remains in the grips of the radical left.
