OldFriend, Salazar's brother's congressional district is not safe. For many years Craig McInnis of Grand Junction, a Republican, represented the district. It is mildly Republican, but with enough of Pueblo plus Aspen and Vail to make a Democrat competitive. The pubbies were very badly divided last year in something like a seven-way primary. Brother Salazar will need to be a conservative Democrat in the mold of Ben Nighthorse Campbell (who represented the district before McInnis) if he wants to keep his seat.
Please freepmail me when you learn of the name of a republican opponent to congressman Salazar.
