Here's an article from the Rocky Mountain News about the 2008 U.S. Senate race [November 28, 2005, "'08 Senate race building steam"]. From the article, "Nearly three years before that election day, [Wayne] Allard, of Loveland, already is being asked whether he plans to keep his pledge to serve only two terms or seek re-election in 2008. And [Mark] Udall, of Eldorado Springs, is laying the groundwork for his own charge for the Senate, whether Allard stands in the path or not. Three years is an eternity in politics and there's no telling how many people have their eyes on Allard's seat. But in some ways, the 2008 race already is under way. Udall is racking up a Senate-size campaign account while focusing on issues that look beyond the boundaries of his Boulder-centered congressional district. Allard is putting off a retirement decision and is trying to make himself more indispensable to Colorado through his work on the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, some small cracks are showing in the Allard-Udall relationship."
