I met John Arrington’s family briefly at the 9/12 rally in Chicago on Saturday. I know next to nothing about him, but if he stands for what he’s got up on his website, I’m quite impressed. Unfortunately, he probably doesn’t have a prayer of getting the GOP nomination instead of cap-n-traitor Mark Kirk (gotta love Chicago/IL politics). John Arrington’s website can be found at .

This guy is awesome.

Knows how to seem comfortable and approachable which is something that SOOO many Republicans lack.

Not the MSM stereotype (old, rich, white guy).

Totally unapologetically conservative which is NEEDED so badly in the Senate where there are fewer members and thus more celebrity and sound bites.

Believes in hard work, liberty and the limited role of government.

Unless he’s a global warming believer, I’d say he’s the perfect candidate. And I don’t mean for the Senate.

... not the insiders' candidate. After watching this, now tell me why John McCain, John Cornyn, and friends decided they needed to anoint former Lt Gov Jane Norton instead? Jane is a nice lady with little or no record on the issues, but where's the fire in the belly? Below is the video her campaign produced today to go along with her official announcement. It makes a nice contrast with the one Erick posted above, or with the one Night Twister added in the comments: Who has the fire in the belly? Who is going to win over independent Colorado voters in 2010? Who do conservatives need to support?

There’s no teleprompter anywhere in sight???

Sounds like a conservative to me.

This guy deserves our support more than DeVore… Not because DeVore doesn’t deserve our support but because this guy REALLY does! And (unlike DeVore), he stands a better than 50% chance of winning should he be nominated!

I can tell you that he is genuine and sincere. He graduated from the Leadership Program of the Rockies, and his stance as a small government conservative is resonating well with a lot of folks in my neck of the woods. He has been an outspoken supporter of pro-business issues, even when it was not popular and convenient.

The harsh reality, he will need to raise big money to get the nomination, and to beat out Mike Bennett. If you like what Ryan has to say, he could use your financial support. The incumbent is polling less than 50% approval, so this is a race that can be won.

… If I only oppose Obama because of racism, but I support Williams and Frazier, is that only because I feel bad about opposing Obama?

Is there a sensitive liberal in the house who can diagnose my condition for me? Help!

I really hate to think in terms of race like this, but running winning African-American candidates in state-wide races is probably our best strategy at breaking the Democratic lock on the Black vote.

Our state-wide winners then need to start selling their message to the African-American community, as the biggest reason we do so poorly with them is that most Republicans have simply given up on appealing to them. You can’t win if you don’t show up, and it plays into the Democratic message that we don’t care about their concerns at all.

This guy seems like the real deal. I visited his website and everything I saw looked pretty good. Could Frazier be joining DeVore, Rubio, Toomey, and Williams and make it the Conservative Fighting FIVE?

Oozes charisma, doesn’t he?

It’s amazing how well the current state of affairs makes a fairly standard conservative message resonate so much…

I LIKE this guy. Not quite as much as I like Rubio, but still — as the son of a Navy Chief, and as a future member of the military myself, I LIKE this guy.

He’s got the look, the sound, the feel of a great conservative.

This guy could lead the charge on education reform. He’s got the experience, fercryinoutloud. Just at first glance, from his website…this is a guy I could go to war for.

I LIKE THIS GUY!

…but in terms of fighting back against the persistent lie the Democrats push 24/7 it would be a double win. If they weren’t the most conservative candidates I wouldn’t support them regardless of race/ethnicity.

…how awesome this would be IMO “…and it’d be the two black men and the hispanic guy pushing the GOP to the right.”

I am so sick of the lie that Republicans are “racists”.

Ironically it’s the most conservative of us that are most supportive of the minority candidates over establishment candidates like Charlie Crist.

I’ll give money to all of these guys. It would be nice to see some high profile endorsements for any or all of these gentlemen.

The grassroots support and excitement for him is really something. His stock continues to rise, and is now polling ahead of Michael Bennet. It’s still very early to put any stock in polls, but Frazier will probably only move up from here.
