Big Mo
Now that the cat is out of the bag about coffman's political motives in the Rocky Mountain News web page that insurmountable lead is getting smaller and smaller. it appears that the big momentum is changing over to the Armstrong side.
Harvey
Harvey's going to win and this is why. Ron Paul supporters make a big part of the district. Harvey's political views are so closely allied to Paul that his supporters will begin to flock to Harvey. Go TED the only no compromise candidate on taxes, immigration, guns, life.
Coffman Campaign increases lead
I would love to see a new poll on this race. I’m guessing it would show Coffman has actually increased his lead since the poll that was released in early June. I have seen his commercial several times on television and hear his ad almost every day on the radio. Armstrong has been virtually non-existent other than rolling out some endorsements. This is perplexing because he is trying to run on not being a career politician, yet every endorsement he has released is from a career politician. The smart money is on Coffman.
Coffman wins fundraising battle for 3rd straight quarter
His campaign has been dominating this race; whether it’s fundraising, the airwaves, or organization. I don’t see how anyone else can win at this point.
Weekly Winners and Losers
This is the same outcome that will happen in the primary election. Mike will be the winner and Wil will be the loser.

any time someone gives the post a wedgie is ok with me. go mikey!
The 411 on Wil Armstrong.
Wil is a mortgage lender who is trying to ride in on his dad’s coattails. He has no political experience and as he said, “doesn’t know how to get a bill from point A to point B”. The only reason he is even still in this race is because of his dad’s name and dad’s money. Without those two things no one would even know who Wil is.
That article was partisan politics at its best.
Clearly, Bill Armstrong or Wil put her up to this. Coffman is an American hero who is more suited to be a Congressman than an administrator. People leave their political offices all the time and run for a higher office. If this weren’t the case then we wouldn’t have a candidate for President. In this crazy world we live in it is best to have the best man for the job. Face it Armstrong supporter, your campaign is going in the wrong direction. You can try and spin it all you want, but the writing is on the wall.
Rocky Mountain Web Page
I have to agree the article by natalie meyers on the Rocky Mountain News web page (Speak Out-Coffman Wrong To Give Post Short Shrift-Opinion Section), does bring to light some interesting information about coffman's ambition to move up to another political office. Great Article!!
The 411 on Coffman
I isagree with your assessment of Coffman being this week's winner, check out "Natalie Meyers article "Speakout": Coffman Wrong to give Post Short Shrift, on the Rocky Mountain News web site in the opinion section. It's excellent information about your winner coffman.
