Colorado R’s better be hopeful their nominee isn’t Lauren Boebert, or Democrats may win by more than Polis did in 2022.

Boebert isn't a genius, but I don't think she is stupid enough for that move. She has a fairly safe House seat, which she would have to give up to run for Governor. She might not even get the GOP nomination, and then would be a severe underdog in a gubernatorial race in the general election. Is she really that delusional?

agreed, she’s stupid but not ‘stupid’

Maybe MTG is dumb enough to take the plunge in GA instead.

She only won by 11 in a Trump+18 seat, which is a pretty pathetic showing. NY-04 was a Biden+14 seat in 2020 and it ended up flipping too. I wouldn’t rule something like that happening in CO-04.

She might also be in trouble for her primary. She failed to get a majority this year and won primarily because of a split field.

I think it’s likelier she loses her primary in a 1v1 than a GE, granted

Maybe she won’t run, and she may not have the runs – but Lauren Boebert definitely has a chronic case of Oral Diarrhea.

Not saying she’ll run but we’ve seen people like Val Demings and Colin Allred give up safe house seats to run in very red states statewide. Lee Zeldin too on the GOP side.

People tired of the house often do that.
