This has been going on since right after the primary and lots of people have talked to Hefley. He knows it was 527 groups with the bad ads and not Lamborn.
The whole thing is sour grapes on Hefley's part. He owned his district and he handpicked Jeff Crank to succeed him.
When the people wanted the more socially conservative Lamborn Hefley got his knickers in a twist. If Hefley can't have his boy in his seat he'd rather have a Democrat in it.
Makes me regret the 10 votes I gave Hefley over the past 20 years.

You are spot on. It reminds me of a child throwing a temper tantrum but with greater consequences. As stated on many other threads, if the republican turn out is high, this seat will be retained by the GOP.
Overall, I think the GOP has done a crappy job in CO this election cycle. The governship will go to the Dem though I doubt anyone would believe Owens was a conservative so maybe we won't be able to tell the difference.
