Nicknameapalooza: O'Donnell gets "Dirty"
The 2006 election nicknaming season kicked off several months ago, when Republican candidate for governor Marc Holtzman branded his primary opponent Both Ways Bob Beauprez. The name stuck, despite some discussion that Beauprez's record of obsequiousness had earned him the nickname Bush Beauprez.
Similarly, Republican CD7 candidate Rick O'Donnell has earned a variety of nicknames. His fondness for hobnobbing with Dick Cheney and other GOP DC insiders inspired some to call him Rubber Stamp Rick O'Donnell. But now several revelations of sleazy fundraising tactics have made some folks wonder if Dirty O'Donnell might fit him better.
Mad Tom Tancredo seems to be sticking. Jeff Crank is a nickname all by itself. And I'm lobbying for John "I Love Trailhead " Suthers.
I can't wait to see what sort of nicknames the Republican bloggers will come up with for our 2006 candidates. Bill "Choirboy" Ritter? Morgan "Perfect" Carroll? Bill "I Could Kick Your Ass, But I Won't Because I'm So Nice" Winter?

That one for Bill Winter might stick
I've been calling him Crazy Tom Tancredo, because sometime last year I read a quote of someone saying "I don't know what Crazy Tom Tancredo Planet he's living on..."
I think it was in the RMN, but I can't find that quote anywhere now.
Tancredo was part of what then-Gov Dick Lamm called the "House Crazies" when Tancredo was in the state House.
The problem with nicknames for Tancredo is that he loves them. If you call him Mad or Crazy, he's just like, "I'm crazy as hell and I'm mad about everythin'!"
Ed Perlmutter is so desperate that he plans to go on TV in the next week. In both the Perlmutter paid for poll and the Lamm paid for poll Ed is over ten points behind.
