He would win
He should run
He's already ruled it out. They're looking at him for governor or senate in 2010. That might be an even bigger election here in Colorado. 2004 was split results. 2006 was a major win for Dems. 2008 may, like 2004, be mixed. 2010 could be a real signpost year for Colorado. The GOP will really be bringing the heat and it may be with the help of Elway.
Until then we've got Bob Schaffer lined up to give a run at Allard's seat. Though it seems I'm alone on this site, I'm very optimistic.
Wait... 2004 produced mixed results? I seem to recall the Democrats winning control of both chambers of the state legislature, gaining a House seat and the Senate seat, and netting a larger percentage of the vote in the Presidential race than any election since 1964.
Talk about rose-tinted glasses.
The results were mixed if you count the Republicans holding on CO-07, which is a blue district.
