The Inside Edge has been hearing that with the 6th CD’s Tom Tancredo’s retirement and the opportunity to upgrade in the 5th CD to someone who better understands the need of the defense-intelligence sector, that the defense industry might end up more involved in fundraising in those primaries.

Harvey’s challenge in the 6th CD is nothing more than stalking horse campaign meant to target Mike Coffman for the benefit of Wil Armstrong.

Harvey himself may not even be aware that he is being used in this way. But it seems to us a fairly plausible and an extremely reasonable explanation of the mixed motives, ambitions and desires of a number of principals in the 6th race.
