Starin says Wadhams 'was spread too thin'; claims GOP ignored congressional, legislative races

By Jeremy Pelzer, PolitickerCO.com Reporter

Second Congressional District Republican nominee Scott Starin said Colorado Republican Party Chair Dick Wadhams "was spread too thin" this past election cycle by running Bob Schaffer's U.S. Senate campaign while remaining party chair.

By Wally Edge

Lost in the push poll controversy between CO-2 candidates Democrats Joan Fitz-Gerald and Jared Polis has been an analysis of why someone would do a push poll at this stage in the campaign.
