From Durango Herald News:
State Sen. Josh Penry urged Republicans to take the fight to Democrats with “guts and conviction” in a Wednesday speech to the Lincoln Club of Colorado, a Republican organization.
“Is anyone else here tired of the flimflam, mealy-mouthed Republican?” Penry said. “We need a contrast, not an echo chamber. If we go into 2010 and say, ‘They’re pretty good, but we can do a little better,’ we will never win.”
Penry has not formally declared as a candidate, but if he runs, he would have to beat his former boss, retired U.S. Rep. Scott McInnis, in the Republican primary. Evergreen businessman Don Maes also has entered the GOP primary. The winner likely will face incumbent Gov. Bill Ritter.
