Also some losers come out of the GOP assembly and the 2nd District Court. So check in with Wally Edge for this week's Winners & Losers and get your Friday off to the best start possible.

Betsey MarkeyCook Political Report revises the race in the 4th CD to “toss up.” That’s a bad sign because we don’t think Markey’s really begun to campaign yet. |
Doug BruceDoug Bruce in his underwear is not something we wanted to start the week with. Next time Doug, use the bathroom to change, not the parking lot. It’s a hotel. They have lots of rooms. |
Bentley RayburnRayburn earns a key endorsement from Lionel Rivera, mayor of Colorado Springs. |
Ron PaulRon supporters make a ruckus at the Republican state convention but prove to be more thunder than lighting. |
Mike CoffmanCoffman’s own poll numbers still look good with about 4 weeks left before voting starts for the primary. If Armstrong doesn’t starting spending a lot of money now, it’ll be hard to win. |
Dave SchultheisState Sen. Dave Schultheis comes in a distant third to unknown activist Leondray Gholston in voting for Colorado’s RNC spot. |

Quote of the Day
October 9, 2008
"The United States Senate has effectively recessed for the remainder of the year, and will not be considering new legislative proposals. I am retiring, and so my Senate career has also ended. Accordingly, I feel that your thoughts and views on this matter would be best addressed to my successor. The benefit of hearing from constituents on legislative and governance issues should be extended to Coloradoʼs newest Senator and not archived with me."
