Former congressman Bob Schaffer has decided to run for Wayne Allard's U.S. Senate seat, according to the Denver Post. From the article, "Former U.S. Rep. Bob Schaffer will run for the U.S. Senate seat that Sen. Wayne Allard is vacating in 2008, a race expected to be one of the nation's most expensive and competitive. Schaffer, 44, said Monday that he wants to rebuild the Republican Party. 'I am convinced that the Republican Party lost badly in the last two election cycles for lack of message ... and because it has temporarily lost its credibility.' That credibility loss, he said, is partly because Republicans have become 'indistinguishable' from Democrats on spending. Schaffer, of Fort Collins, announced his intention to run Saturday at the Boulder County Republican Lincoln dinner."
