Match-ups we’d like to see

As an internet "journalist" (ha, ha, ha) we have quite a bit of time for personal shopping on the web, matters relating to hygiene and crank calls. We call it "creative" time.

In that idle time we thought of match-ups that we'd like to see between politicians that are unlikely to ever take place. Some of the races are political, some of them are just fun.

After reading the list, however you might say that we're fortunate we'll never see these contests, but we'll let you be the judge.

Wil Armstrong vs. Will Shafroth

Rationale: We'd love to see the two of them debate the correct spelling of the name "Will" or ‘Wil" as it were. Then maybe they could argue about how to hold a tea cup.

Mark Udall vs. Tom Udall in a general election

Rationale: We'd like to see them both race to the left and then to the right. Or maybe it's the other way around.

Marc Holtzman vs. Jared Polis

Rationale: Let's see who can spend more money to less effect.    

Doug Bruce vs. Stephanie Takis in an underwear competition.

Rationale: Ok we wouldn't want to see this, but an editor once told us that if a reader took one thing away that he'd think of the rest of the day, you we're successful.

Jon Hotaling vs. Mark Hotaling

Rationale: We'd love to hear the robocalls saying "Hi this is the Christian Association of Dry Bedding Manufacturers of the Rocky Mountains. Mark Hotaling was a bed wetter at the age of 9. He may still be...."

Mark Paschall vs. Joe Rogers

Rationale: The race would be to see who could get the biggest doggie bag from voters.

Bill Owens vs. Bill Ritter

Rationale: The battle of the Bills would be to see who would screw his party worse. Oh yeah, things are great now Democrats. But you wait. It's coming.

Mike Garcia vs. Jennifer Veiga in a potato sack race

Rationale: You figure it out. But we bet it'd have a surprise ending. For one of them.

Dick Wadhams vs. David Axelrod

Rationale: There's more fight in a houseplant than there is in Rick Davis.

Doug Lamborn vs. Ted Harvey

Rationale: In the words of Homer Simpson, only a sap would pass up "the simple joys of a monkey knife fight."
