I think your view of Colorado is accurate. There is strong talk that Cong. Tancredo will challenge Campbell in a primary. That would be interesting. If Campbell does not run look for Cong. McInnis to run. McInnis hold Campbell's old congressional seat (when Campbell was a democrat) and has received at least 65% of the vote in a even district.

I have come to believe that Lt. Gov. Frank Brogan is the strongest candidate to take on Graham. I would love to see Graham defeated. The resounding GOP victory in 2000 can be construed as a repudiation of the Democrats' antics in 2000. I would be interested to see what Graham's approval ratings are like.

If any of you know a way that we can help defeat McCain in 2004, please let me know. I live in Buffalo, but I would be willing to do anything necessary to get rid of him.

I have been exhaustively searching for an opponent for Leahy in Vermont, but the best I can do is state House Speaker Walt Freed, who seems like a longshot at best. Skip Vallee, the Burlington, VT GOP Chairman, is also a possibility.

I am a bit concerned about House races - as Roll Call states, the GOP won most of the close races in 2002, making several incumbents vulnerable for 2004.
