The state Republicans have finally got their site up. No doubt, they'll tell me that it was only down a couple of days, that I just happened to catch it while it was down, that the new site is much better, and that I should stop griping. All of the premises are true, but I'd still argue with the conclusion. Extra pit-stops never won anyone a race.
The site still says that there's something new coming, and I hope that has something to do with, oh, candidates. Right now, there's still nothing on the front page that even suggests that there are Republicans running for office this fall. Both of the news headlines are about Ritter, and there's no link to candidates or their websites.
This may be because the Party is concerned about a Common Cause (as in, "make common cause with the Democrats") lawsuit if they're seen as colluding with the candidates. But the Dems have such a link on their page, and sych links are indispensible on the national Senate, House, and RNC pages. Even supposing such a lawsuit were to be feared - and I think it's the headlines that scare more than the suit - the Party should be ready to fight back with suits of their own. Certainly if we can find Republicans willing to sue other Republicans during the primary process, and Republican lawers willing to represent them, we can find Republicans wiling to file countersuits in order to protect the Party's legal rights.
In the meantime, the page is an ad for outgoing officeholders in the middle of an election season.

I gave up on the Colorado GOP time ago, when they became as disorganized as the Democratic party.
But all the same, I vote accordingly.
