Congressional candidate Wil ArmstrongFormer Republican U.S. Rep. Scott McInnis announced his endorsement today of Republican Wil Armstrong, candidate for the 6th Congressional District seat seeking to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Tom Tancaredo (R-Littleton).

"He is the best man to shake up Washington and get it back on the right track," said McInnis, who represented the 3rd Congressional District from 1993 until 2005. "Wil's got a record of principled leadership in the business world and will take that experience to clean up Congress."

Quote of the Day
"With respect to Hank Eng's campaign, one of the problems with the campaign is that it started a little bit late and he wasn't able to get his name out; he wasn't able to get his message out and so nobody knew who he was. And that's something that I'm not going to allow to happen in my campaign."

GO Armstrong!!!
The political insiders know that it's not good to be a grasshopper.
Interesting that the
Interesting that the "political outsider" seems to be hooked in with all the political veterans. Wonder who's calling in favors for him? Could it be daddy... no!
GO Armstrong!!!
Better late than never, I say.
Daddy calls in favors
When will politicians support the best candidate in a race rather than returning favors? This is politics at its worst. Armstrong is a terrible candidate who would not get these endorsements if it weren't for his poppa.
Video is difficult to follow
Makes you wonder what they cut out. Also, you'd think they would have a better production, at least out of respect for Scott. Do primary voters watch youtube?
Yawn
This video was actually up yesterday but I think the Armstrong team didn't mean to release it. Then they sent out a press release today to cover their mistake. This mistake correlates with the way their campaign has been going. Why wouldn't they wait till next week to release this?
