The Denver Post is
reporting in a catchall editorial that Marilyn Musgrave will run for her seat in 2008, Tom Tancredo probably won't, and Bob Schaffer hasn't made up his mind about the 2008 Senate race.
There were two interesting quotes in the editorial by Dan Haley of the Denver Post Editorial Board:
Liberal bloggers, and even Republicans, have suggested that the National Republican Congressional Committee and others have threatened to pull funding if Musgrave runs in 2008. She's drawn the ire of Democrats like Tim Gill and Pat Stryker over her anti-gay marriage bill, and they've spared no expense trying to oust her.
Note that the Denver Post editorial board consults "Liberal bloggers" for their information on national Republican strategy. Meanwhile, conservative papers like the Gazette and the Wall Street Journal deny the blogosphere exists. Is it any wonder that Republicans are so far behind in the blog wars?
I have heard that Tim Gill alone put $2 million into the effort to beat Musgrave.
Lots of Coloradans could do a good job as a senator, Schaffer said, but only a handful can "demonstrate their suitability to serve" in the Senate.
If this is code by Bob Schaffer for another attempt by the Schaffer wing of the party to split (from) the party as it did with Coors and Beauprez, and it appears to be, I hope Dick Wadhams will have a heart to heart and soon. We have to disarm the circular firing squad, and language, even coded language like this only ensures that it will follow us to the next election.
