Rosen writes that the contract was prompted by a meeting of the minds between Scott McInnis, the presumptive Republican nominee, and key players in the party, including Josh Penry, Tom Tancredo, Dick Wadhams. “It’s sufficiently faithful to traditional conservative principles to please and reassure the Republican base, while specific, practical, and inclusive enough to attract swing-voting independents in the state. You might call it a Contract for Colorado,” the talk-show host writes.
Meanwhile, Westword says that Tancredo confirms that he may stay out of the governor’s race if conversations he’s having with numerous parties, including folks from the McInnis camp, adequately address his concerns about offering a truly conservative agenda.
