Republican Scott Tipton says he’s reshuffling the race in the 3rd Congressional District, making it a winnable contest. A spokesman for incumbent John Salazar, though, says Salazar has nothing to fear, while Tipton has plenty of problems in his own party.

RealClearPolitics.com this week moved the 3rd Congressional District race from “leaning Democrat” to a “toss-up” in November’s general election, a shift that led Tipton’s campaign staff to declare Salazar “is already losing his edge” in March.

Love the Dems talking about problems in the GOP. Whoever is RNC Chair has little to do with a Congressional seat.

It’s in play, according to the Vulnerable Democrats Master List.

Often a toss up district. Very large : Western slope, Pueblo, and...

A partial list of past Congressmen : Mike Strang, Ben Nighthorse Campbell, Scott McInnis

Salazar is toast ! Who is left to support him? Dem policys have destroyed even their strongholds in the coal mine areas. They know they’re doomed under cap n tax.

And the refusal of oil and gas leases put 1000’s of people out of work around here, and severly hit the economy of western colorado. There just aren’t that many other jobs around here, and every other house is for sale.

All those jobs went to North Dakota, where the regulatory climate is a lot easier. Even the Aspn Times has been critical of the dems, and that’s saying a lot.
