I agree that McInnis is the best candidate, although I also think others could win the seat, like Coffman or perhaps Beauprez. I would prefer that Beauprez hold onto his swing district with his incumbency advantage.

I also agree Tancredo is too polarizing to win unless the Dims rip themselves to shreds in a primary. Allard and Beauprez were both helped in close races by Catholic, Hispanic pro-lifers who were turned off by the Dims' pro-abortion rhetoric. Tancredo wouldn't get those votes.

best GOP candidate to lose the GOP seat (TOM T)

Water policy will play a large part in the race and Scott McInnis is from the Western Slope ( not many voters). Owens is out because of personal matters. Mike Coffman has state wide appeal and Bob Beauprez is attractive no matter where he runs. Tom Tancredo relishes being a ligntening rod and would have a tough time outside of his very Republican district. Too bad Dick Wadhams is otherwise occupied.

But then I am just a Connecticut Yankee missing her old state buddies.
