With the 6th Congressional District primary days away, Mike Coffman’s campaign is clearly feeling good about his chances in the race.

His campaign sent out an e-mail Monday looking for interns for his general campaign office, but it sounded like he was already taking office in Washington.

The e-mail, sent out by Coffman organizational director Jeff Small to 42 College Republicans and others interested in working with the campaign, asserts that Coffman “is the unanimous favorite to win on August 12th.”

“Should this be the case, internships will be immediately available with the strong potential of earning a job in Mike's Congressional office,” the e-mail stated.

“Mike has said he will give first priority to those who work hard with him in the trenches, and now is your chance to show him what you've got!”

The full e-mail, after the jump.

CD-6 Democratic candidate Mike Collins said Tuesday that he is ending his campaign, leaving former Appleton, Wis. City Council member Hank Eng as the sole Democrat left in the race.

Collins said he was dropping out because of health problems related to injuries he suffered while a soldier in Vietnam. Mike lost his larynx to cancer associated with exposure to Agent Orange.

Collins said he endorsed Eng for the CD-6 seat, which has been held by Republicans since the 6th Congressional District was created in 1982.

With Monday marking the fifth anniversary of the start of the Iraq War, Democratic congressional candidates in Colorado are united in supporting the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq - they just don't agree on how or when to go about it.

Could Congress' most vocal opponent of illegal immigration be succeeded by a son of Chinese immigrants?

Hank Eng, who jumped in the Democratic race last week for outgoing U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo's CD-6 seat, sure hopes so.
