So this is a couple days old, but I thought it was really interesting so I wanted to share. Lynn Bartels, over at the Post, explains how Maes' Gubernatorial run could classify the Republican party with the Libertarians and Greens. In nearly any conceivable scenario where this happens, the American Constitution party would join the Democrats as the second and only other major political party in Colorado.
State statute defines major political party as any political party that "at the last preceding gubernatorial election was represented on the official ballot either by political party candidates or by individual nominees and whose candidate at the last preceding gubernatorial election received at least 10 percent of the total gubernatorial votes cast."

The Colorado 2010 caucus was above average attendance last night. In 2008 over 92,000 people attended compared to 2006 with just over 8,000. As of press time, there is close to 22,000 or 2.7 times the 2006 levels.
The constellation of GOP numbers [.pdf] makes things interesting. Cleve Tidwell is out (not so interesting, but maybe now we can have some closure). Tea Partyboy Ken Buck and "old guard Jane" Norton are in a dead heat with over a third of the vote each. Former State Senator Tom Wiens doesn't have to petition onto the ballot with 16%.
