Wow, we've had a great turnout so far and a heated straw poll. With 10 hours left to go,Cleve Tidwell has managed to take back the lead from Ryan Frazier, who had a huge boost in the last 24 hours.

If Ryan Frazier wins this, it is another victory to add to the many straw polls he has come in first in. Cleve Tidwell is doing well here and it seems the campaign is trying hard to manage a victory here.
Cleve Tidwell has already completed and interview on Colorado Political News and Ryan Frazier's will be posted soon. Ken Buck has not responded to one.
Do you think Frazier will pull an upset over Tidwell who's been in the lead most of the month, or will Tidwell win this one?
WOW SO QUICK TO HAND VICTORY TO FRAZIER. I SEE IT 45% TO 46% NECK AND NECK LOL
ReplyDeleteOMG ITS A TIE LOL BIASED REPORTING!!!
ReplyDeleteFrazier and Tidwell are currently seperated by a one vote margin with less then 13 hours to go.
ReplyDeleteI live in Georgia and I must say, this race is quite interesting to watch. I like the fact that it is so close between these two front runners. As I speak, Tidwell is only leading by 4% (13 votes). This is how the primaries should be. The primaries here in Georgia are pretty much guaranteed to go to the long-time incumbent so it is quite boring.
ReplyDeleteHey Colorado Political News how about an update!!!!
ReplyDeleteSeems these are two interesting candidates there and to be so close with different backgrounds and age.One non politician and other only a politician. One Years of experience in life and the other with no obvious experience just old enough to quality to run. Really interesting to see so close with such comparisons, must just be because of fan base support. But still interesting. Hope people out there don't forget this is a U.S. Senate race. We need some changes and someone that can bring in money and beat the Dumbs sorry the Dems. Good luck out there we have our own fight going on in Florida.
ReplyDeleteman if Tidwell can do well on a poll ilke this he definately should be able to be competitive in a primary
ReplyDeleteWe have just updated...turnout has been great
ReplyDeleteI had to UNFOLLOW Cleve on Twitter he's sending out tweets every 15 minutes desperately trying to drum up support
ReplyDeleteHow many followers does each Candidate have on Twitter? Frazier vs. Tidwell??? I don't do Twitter so I have to ask.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Yeah, for a guy who insists early straw polls don't matter, Cleve sure is going the extra mile to win this thing.
ReplyDeleteSeems like both guys are going at full steam for this one. I really thought the better known Candidate would be way better off than this close of a "Straw Poll"
ReplyDeleteAs of 4:46pm Ryan has pulled ahead slightly by 3%. Can't see supporting Tidwell since he has pulled out of other elections before. How do we know he's not going to again?
ReplyDeleteDoes Cleve get a vote for each of his personalities? Because that could account for like, half of these votes.
ReplyDeleteI really like Ryan, I believe he has what it takes to win in the general....go Ryan!
ReplyDeletewell only 30% gets on the ballot and even this site says Cleve has the money so he has plenty of time to work on his "ID". Let's just hope we Republicans don't see our message destroyed in the primaries as we all know Bennett is the enemy.
ReplyDeletei think ryan will surprise when clutch time comes, ryan is the fresh face, republican have long for;the time for change is now. i believe ryan can beat bennett next november 2010.
ReplyDeleteI have talked with Ryan and know he has the right stuff for the Job, he is what our party needs and what this state needs, good luck Ryan.
ReplyDeleteWow, this has turned out to be quite a competition. It really says alot about their supporters and gives early indication of the type of work ethic (online at least) they will bring to the race.
ReplyDeleteIf the primary turns out to be like this and we can unit with this ammount of energy...Bennet is toast no matter who represents us in the general
ReplyDeleteBoth candidates are great, Cleve, and Ryan. However Ryan has the spark to light the firestorm needed to get republicans back on track to being republicans once again.
ReplyDeleteso if Cleve picks up the support of Buck's followers then this thing swings the other way and the momentum will be like a snowball heading down the mountain side???
ReplyDeleteLooks like Tidwells support showed up Tidwell Wins!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI really like Tidwell, but if he wins the primary we mite as well say hello to another 6 years of Michael Bennet.
ReplyDeleteI voted twice, how can this be an accurate poll?
ReplyDeleteTidwell has 5230 followers on Twitter, Frazier has 979. Commenters should show their name, "anonymous is cowardly"
