Colorado Senate: Leading Republican to Exit Race

[Deano963]

Very surprising:

Former Colorado Rep. Scott McInnis (R) is expected to end his Senate bid as soon as today, according to sources familiar with his thinking who asked not to be identified because they did not have permission to speak for the McInnis camp.

I think it's a little early to pop the champaigne, but apparently the only other potential serious candidates who may yet run are ex-Rep. Bob Schaeffer and AG John Suthers.

Any forrumers from CO or who are very familiar with the CO scene care to give us the skinny on these two - brief summary of their politics, how much of a chance either would have against Udall?

  Udall's chances of a comfortable victory increase - if this is true.

Excellent

McInnis makes it official:

WASHINGTON — Former Congressman Scott McInnis announced today that he will take a pass on the 2008 U.S. Senate race, clearing the way for what could be a wide-open contest for the Republican nomination.
