Colorado Gun Law - Snatching Victory From The Jaws Of Defeat

It now appears that there are plenty of signatures to force a recall against Sen Morse. Sen Giron is in better shape as the buffer margin is much smaller. Somehow I expect that the Colo Dems will be much more interested in the validity of a petition signer than they ever were over the bona fides of an actual voter.

Already strategies are being floated. Did constituents dislike Morse's "ignore them" attitude toward them? Sure. Solution: Have Morse resign, allowing the Colo Dems to designate his replacement, which so far looks like Mike Merrifield, Mayor Bloomberg's point man in Colorado. Interestingly Mr. Marrifield may not last beyond 2014 himself as his fundraising is not bringing in the bucks.

If the recall against Morse goes ahead, liberal gun grabbers Plan B is to appoint the Bloomberg gun group’s Colorado State Director to run for Morse’s seat, Michael Merrifield.
Merrifield was previously a State Representative known for saying supporters of charter schools “deserve a special place in hell.” That comment forced him to resign his chairmanship of the House Education Committee.
In the time since, Merrifield has unsuccessfully run for a number of political offices and held the position of state director for none other than Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG).

Failing Sen Morse's withdrawal, the recall vote will likely feature Mr. Merrifield on the ballot as a possible replacement.  Given his record, I'm not seeing this as a winning strategy although the new all-mail-in voting procedures do tilt the field in his favor.

The irony of this is that the effort to remove an anti-gun useful idiot may well result in the installation of a man who is essentially on Mike Bloomberg's staff. Nothing changes except that the legislature moves slightly further to the left.
