Jefferson County, Colorado is a one-party clown show rife with political incompetence, so I suppose it's no surprise that the GOP controllers rammed through the son of the outgoing House Rep to replace him...

The controlling right wing does a good job promoting their own in-breeding -- the left needs to learn to deal with as little compunction for anything other than power, if it's going to compete ...
