From the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel, "Colorado Attorney General John Suthers said he is being courted to run for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated in 2008 by Sen. Wayne Allard, R-Colo. 'I've had conversations with people on several levels,' Suthers said. 'The (National) Republican Senatorial Committee is obviously very interested in winning this race, making sure that the best possible candidate is in the race.' Suthers, who has served as Colorado's attorney general since 2005 and as the state's U.S. Attorney from 2001 to 2005, said while he is not actively pursuing the seat, he will consider stepping up. 'It's my impression that no one is gaining a great deal of momentum right now, and I'm keeping my powder dry, as they say in politics,' Suthers said. 'So, I haven't ruled it out, but I haven't jumped in.' Asked on Friday if he thought he would make a good candidate, Suthers quickly replied, 'Oh, yeah.' Citing his success in the 2006 election against Democrat Fern O'Brien, Suthers said he knows he could garner support from unaffiliated and Republican voters alike."
