Even if Owens were to jump in, Udall would be the odds on favorite, but it would at least make it competitive.  McInnins might mke it somewhat competitive, but nothing for the Dems to really worry about, pretty much the same, but even less so for Schaffer.  Beauprez, wouldn't have a chance, and Tancredo would absolutely get his ass handed to him.  As was stated he wouldn't break 40%.

I highly doubt  Allard's choice to drop out had anything to do with him wanting to be true to his word about term limits.  I would say it has much more to do with him knowing that he didn't have a chance in hell at holding on to his seat.

The Tancredo:Brown comparison is pretty ridiculous since Brown's pet issue, fighting unfair free trade deals and preserving jobs at home, is exactly the type of thing that plays very well in Ohio. The same is not true of Tancredo's, even if Coloradans don't like illegal immigration, it's unlikely the majority share his insane views (and if you think they do, give my congratulations to Rep. Randy Graf). Brown also isn't anywhere near as gaffe-prone (did he ever compare a major US city to a third world country?) and benefited greatly from the toxic political climate for Republicans, doubled in Ohio thanks to Bob Taft.

Oh yeah, you can bet with Tancredo as the nominee Hispanic turnout isn't going to be low, and we all know how they're going to be voting.

You seem to be confused as many Hispanics share Tancredo's view on immigartion, especially those who came here legally and feel cheated

Umm ok, maybe a few do...

but how many of them are going to support a racist scumbag like Tancredo?Huh?
