McCasky Confirms What We Already Knew

The Columbine Courier confirmed today what was first reported here last week; Jefferson County Commissioner Kevin McCasky is “pondering a run” for CD-7.

The chatter among political insiders that McCasky might seek the Republican nomination had grown strong in the past few weeks.

Last week Colorado Pols, a blog site frequented by political insiders, dedicated a section to a McCasky candidacy. McCasky, 43, said Monday that he is still undecided about the race. He said it would be an “honor” and the “height of my career” to serve in Congress.

The article goes on to explain the final decision will, ultimately, come down to Family Values.

The decision for me will be made by three people in my home (McCasky is married and has two sons.)

The only real surprise in the article is the quote from Dana Williams, spokesperson for the Secretary of State’s Office, concerning speculation that Beauprez might resign his seat to campaign for governor full time, forcing a special election.

It would be an election of all registered voters in that area.

Even in a year of wacky Republican moves – that would be the last thing anyone could ever expect.

If Kevin really is serious, maybe the best thing to do would be to let Rick file a few times (and hit a fundraising plateau) before officially entering the race.

Either that - or come waltzin' in after Paschall and O'Donnell have muddied eachother.

Well Done, Red. You forced the bunny out of the whole, now we just need someone with a BB Gun to take him out.

Rock 5:

I'm confused by your post. Take whom out? Violence?

[confused]

And does the BB gun have anything to do with the current officeholder in the 7th of the same initials?

[I think]

I think Rock just means that McCasky was trying to hide until later in the race - now everyone knows he wants it - and he's going to be forced to either take some serious postitions (for once) or bow down to Odonnell. And ya - maybe Bobby B., too, if Odonnell is really Bob's guy for this seat.
