Maes loosing support – Tancredo to make announcement

GOP gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes spent Wednesday meeting with officials from the Republican Governor's Association in Washington, DC, several sources and the Maes campaign have confirmed.

Maes's campaign spokesman, Nate Strauch, said the meetings were to make sure Maes and the RGA "are on the same page about where the campaign is at."

The question: whether the RGA is considering putting its financial might behind Maes' cash-strapped campaign or making a last-ditch attempt to strong arm him out of the race just one day before Colorado's November ballot is set.

Meanwhile, with that deadline looming, establishment Republicans are distancing themselves from Maes and calling for him to step aside. Tom Tancredo, the former GOP congressman now mounting a third-party run for governor, is promising a big announcement Thursday morning on KHOW 630's Peter Boyles show.  - More -
