Penry Pushed Out by Party Elites?

some think so

Regardless, it is time to put our state back into adult hands. #redco #tcot #teaparty

An informed commenter at the PPC disagrees, and I also do. Penry made his own choice.

"Didn't happen. Josh made the first call to McInnis. Essentially, Penry didn't have the money nor the statewide support to beat McInnis and go on to beat Ritter. He's a smart guy who recognized that fact. Unlike Marc what's-his-name (Denver U president) who stayed in the primary race with Bob Beauprez, Penry did what's best for his party and state."
