Republican
uber donor Dave Liniger, a real estate multi-millionaire,
is considering a run for the Republican nomination to the U.S. Senate in Colorado. Republican State Chair Ted Halaby, who had previously encouraged Republicans to avoid a damaging primary, now says that a contested Republican primary would be "a very positive thing."
Former Congressman Bob Scaffer was the presumptive nominee on the Republican side until today, although a Colorado Springs "no name" candidate was also running.
