DENVER -- With Tuesday's Primary Day, PolitickerCO.com analyzes the top contests in Colorado. Will Jared Polis' ad barrage help him trump Joan Fitz-Gerald in the 2nd Congressional District? Can Doug Lamborn do it again in the 5th District over the same names he beat in 2006? Has Mike Coffman really put the 6th District race away? And, oh yeah -- turns out there's a GOP primary in the 1st District, too.

With the 6th Congressional District primary days away, Mike Coffman’s campaign is clearly feeling good about his chances in the race.

His campaign sent out an e-mail Monday looking for interns for his general campaign office, but it sounded like he was already taking office in Washington.

The e-mail, sent out by Coffman organizational director Jeff Small to 42 College Republicans and others interested in working with the campaign, asserts that Coffman “is the unanimous favorite to win on August 12th.”

“Should this be the case, internships will be immediately available with the strong potential of earning a job in Mike's Congressional office,” the e-mail stated.

“Mike has said he will give first priority to those who work hard with him in the trenches, and now is your chance to show him what you've got!”

Some 6th Congressional District Republican primary campaigns have commissioned pollsters to survey how the race is playing out.

But Steve Ward's campaign prefers to poll 6th District voters the old-fashioned way: by going door-to-door themselves and asking them.

And what they're hearing, said Ward manager Christine Burtt, is that Ward is leading in the four-man GOP primary with support nearing 30 percent and a two-candidate race is shaping up between him and Colorado Secretary of State Mike Coffman.

Wil Armstrong finally put up some new TV. The question we ask in today's Inside Edge is: Wil it be enough? Yes, the pun was intended.

The Fourth of July is about fireworks, barbecuing, parades and -- of course -- politicking.

In today's Inside Edge, we check in on the CO-6 race, because it gives us a good excuse to plug the CO-6 debate, sponsored by PolitickerCO. Our version even has the scenes deleted by PBS!

Secretary of State Mike Coffman has established a strong lead over his opponents in the Republican primary election for the state's 6th Congressional District, according to a post-Memorial Day internal survey.

Coffman now has a 28-point lead over his nearest challenger, businessman Wil Armstrong, in his bid to replace retiring Republican Representative Tom Tancredo, according to the report from the Tarrance Group.

In today's Inside Edge Wally looks at Comcast ads buys in the CO-6 race because frankly he likes when the supporters of Coffman and Armstrong post flaming comments about each other in the comments section.

A new poll released by 6th Congressional District Republican candidate Mike Coffman's campaign shows the Colorado Secretary of State with a wide lead over the other three GOP candidates in the race.

Coffman was favored by 47 percent of the 300 likely CO-6 GOP primary voters polled. Businessman Wil Armstrong polled 19 percent, state Sen. Ted Harvey received 7 percent, and state. Sen. Steve Ward polled 4 percent, according to numbers released by the Coffman campaign.

The poll, conducted May 27-28 by the Tarrance Group, had a margin of error of +/- 5.8%.

Coffman manager Dustin Zvonek said the poll also showed Coffman with a double-digit lead in each of the five counties in the 6th Congressional District.
