Colorado Luis (via SquareState): "MyDD caught this GJ Sentinel item about Delta County Commissioner Wayne Wolf announcing that he will enter the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate nomination against Bob Schaffer. Now, I know nothing about Wayne Wolf other than what the Sentinel noted in their article -- that he's a 5th generation rancher from the Western Slope -- but why wouldn't that make him at least as strong a candidate for the Republicans as Backwards Bob? "Anyway, what I found most interesting in the article is Wolf telling the Sentinel that state GOP chair Dick Wadhams called him up to essentially warn him away from the race. So, in four short years we've gone from Republican leaders working against Bob Schaffer's Senate bid -- because they know Schaffer is a radical conservative who is out of touch with the mainstream of Colorado -- to having the state GOP chair work to clear the primary for him? Just more brilliant strategery from the man who helped turn George Allen from a presidential hopeful into an ex-Senator from Virginia." Category: Denver November 2008 Election 6:17:45 PM
