Sen. Allard's Seat Target Of '08 Speculation, National Interest

ColoradoPols hears that Dick Wadhams--who successfully led Sen. Allard to reelection in '02--is headed back to Colorado for 2008.

Although the 7th CD failed to live up to the national hype as the race for '06, the battle for Colorado's senate seat will naturally garner quite a bit of attention as a result of the increased success of Colorado Democrats, and will be much-watched should Denver win the Democratic National Convention. The WaPo has Allard's seat as one of the top to watch both for the amount of scrutiny from a potential Democratic Convention but also due to the relatively narrow margin of Allard's reelection numbers in '02.
