Josh Penry or Jane Norton would both make the seat very competitive.
Would Suthers consider, also?
Jane Norton? What is this, 2010? She's a huge paper tiger, and a name from the past.
Suthers is now the mayor of Colorado Springs, he just got elected. ... Do either of your comments make a point?
Norton is much better at stump speeches than most other candidates, and strong campaigning on her part would help.
Suthers took office nearly the same time as Stapleton. Does that mean the latter shouldn't run?
Overall, I think Penry would be a very strong candidate. Brauchler seems more like a John McCain to Penry's Scott Smith. To compound, Brauchler could easily win or heavily lose, while Penry would glide to victory with coattails.
