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 : ).

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.
