text: Flip flop Ed, as he will now be known, was told by the Democratic power base in Colorado that he was not the 'chosen one' for Governor . That honor went to Polis. As a reward for exiting, the power base Tim Gill and Pat Stryker gave Flip Flop Ed the call to remain Colorado District 7 representative. Flip Flop has always been a great democratic lapdog obeying the leadership without question. Although rebuffing Pelosi's leadership vote probably meant Flip Flop had to grovel at her old smelly feet not to mention kicking in several hundreds of thousand in campaign cash to the Democratic Leadership.
