By Jeremy Pelzer
U.S. Rep. Tom TancredoU.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Littleton) has endorsed former Douglas County Republican Party Chair Mark Scheffel in the crowded 4th Senate District GOP race, a Tancredo spokesperson said Tuesday.
Tancredo's congressional spokesperson, T.Q. Houlton, confirmed the endorsement but said he didn't know any details on Tancredo's reasons for backing Scheffel.

Besides Scheffel, the other SD-4 Republican candidates are Precinct 131 Committeeman Ed Brewer of Castle Rock, retired Air Force Col. Bob Denny of Glen Eagle, Precinct 58 Committeeman Roger Partridge of Castle Rock, SD-4 GOP Chair John Peterson of Castle Rock, former Douglas County Republican Party Chair Mark Scheffel of Parker, and computer consultant Mark Vanderbilt of Castle Rock.
Joseph Alsup, a Larkspur architect, is the lone Democrat in the race.

Quote of the Day
July 3, 2008
"I still remember one of the very first meetings we put together to discuss gang violence with a group of community leaders. We waited and waited for people to show up, and finally, a group of older people walked into the hall. And they sat down. And a little old lady raised her hand and asked, 'Is this where the bingo game is?'"
--Barack Obama on Wednesday in Colorado Springs, talking about one of his less-encouraging moments in community organizing during his speech on national service.
