Tancredo: “I’m not sure Maes would be an upgrade over Hick”

Yesterday, Dan Maes rejected a suggestion from Tom Tancredo that both of them drop out of the governor's race to allow the state GOP to choose a fresh candidate.

Tancredo says this offer shouldn't be interpreted as proof he's not wholly committed to beating John Hickenlooper in November. Indeed, he admits that he's not sure Maes would be an upgrade over Hick.

"This is my reiteration of the first offer I made, or maybe the second -- I don't remember," Tancredo says. "And I made it because we're coming up on the last day where any changes could be made -- so I thought I'd try one more time. I definitely understand the difficulty we face with a three-person race, but I believe I have a better chance of winning in a three-person race than Maes does in a two-person race.   – More -
