I agree. I think McInnis is the strongest choice. Have Coffman keep the Governor's chair whilst Owens runs for Prez.

Between McInnis and Coffman, I prefer Coffman. Policy-wise I don't see much difference between the two but Coffman is younger and has more charisma. Coffman also has a nice biography including service in the '91 Gulf War.
From a practical standpoint, it would be better for Coffman to run and Owens would appoint his replacement while Beauprez can stay put in the 7th CD where he would be the prohibitive favorite to win again.
I'll have to check-out this Udall backing out story... could be the shortest candidacy in history : ).
To: BlackRazor
Yep, Udall is out (sort of makes him look foolish for jumping in too soon). IMO, given the competitiveness of the race, Beuaprez definitely should NOT run. Although a good candidate, if he should lose we would not only lose a senate seat but potentially his house seat as well.
Tancredo cannot win against Salazar so it has to be McInnis or Coffman.
To: BoomerBob; Columbine; BlackRazor; JohnnyZ; Coop; William Creel; KQQL
Yup, Udall dropped out and endorsed Salazar.
http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/2912274/detail.html Salazar is probably the best candidate the RATs could have thrown at us, and his election would be used by the media as an example of how the Democrats are so much more "inclusive" than the GOP because the only Hispanic Senator is a Democrat (even if black Republican Herman Cain gets elected to the Senate from GA). So it is doubly important that we get a quality candidate to enter the race.
Scott McInnis, are you listening?

Yep, I agree with your reasoning here.
McInnis is the right one and we'd better all be prepared to dig deep into our pockets and work hard on his campaign.

with Salazar this race goes to the toss up column..too bad Udall was kicked out by the RATS....
At this point only McInnis or Shaffer can defeat Salazar..

What about Gale Norton coming back from Washington to run?
To: churchillbuff
Gale doesn't have the same pizazz as some of the other candidates and she is more of a moderate republican (she's pro-choice). Our best bets are definitely with McInnis, Beauprez or Coffman.
