Tonight Bob Schaffer was on the Aaron Harber show. He is a good politician and it is quite clear that he wants people to think he is the only candidate who can win the 08 Senate race.
The man is quite glib. The show was very entertaining. It plays again on Sunday at 2 pm.
He has some baggage from 04 that was not addressed. The report in the Denver Post that after he lost the Senate Primary he used his PAC to try to defeat three Republican legislators (and succeeded) is very troubling to me.
There is the possibility that the report is wrong, and if so, I'd like to know that.
If it is truthful, I have a big problem with that kind of conduct. It has the GREAT potential to make favorable 2010 redistricting impossible. Republicans could end up with two of the seven Congressional districts and no chance to take back the legislature far into the future.
I agree with his view that McCain's actions after losing in 2000 (McCain-Feingold) disqualify McCain for the Presidential nomination. I wonder if Schaffer has considered the possibility that his own 2004 actions might disqualify him as well. Petulance is so unbecoming in a politician.
