It's no secret that Colorado's 6th congressional district leans conservative. Congressman Tom Tancredo won the last two elections by roughly 20 percentage points. With Tancredo not seeking re-election, the republican primary is the race to watch. Independent Thinking has all four candidates: Secretary of State Mike Coffman, businessman Wil Armstrong, State Senator Ted Harvey and State Representative Steve Ward -- for a debate hosted by yours truly.
Experience in business (like Armstrong) is good, but so is experience in the military and experience in government. Steve Ward has successful experience in all. I can't agree with Coffman that Congress has successfully put a face on the war so that Americans understand what a win in Iraq looks like. Harvey takes principled social conservative stands and fights for them, but Steve Ward frames legislation that can pass and gets the support for it so it gets done.
