Colorado Republicans
are still chugging the bongwater, it seems. From today's ColoradoPols:

..."Top Republican "emissaries" are meeting with Republican Gubernatorial nominee Dan Maes today in an attempt to convince him to drop out of the race and let the GOP replace him with someone else.

According to an anonymous Republican source, GOP Chair Dick Wadhams is not among those involved in the meeting in an effort to keep some official distance from the process. The message from Republicans is that there will be no outside money and no fundraising assistance for Maes if he stays in the race, but if he drops out there could be support for him for future opportunities." ... read the entire piece at www.coloradopols.com

3. This is really interesting
This is a weird move because this would basically be the GOP admitting that republicans in Colorado are dumbasses. I dont see any way they could do this and not piss off every repub in Colorado.

4. I also just don't think Tancredo has a chance.
He was reelected in his district several times, but it's a hyperconservative district.

Colorado is a centrist state.
