CO: Republican Gov Candidate Supports Democrat over Conservative Tancredo on Economic Issues

From the Denver Daily News:

Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes said in a radio interview that he believes Democrat John Hickenlooper would be better for the economic health of the state than third party candidate Tom Tancredo. Maes made the comment on the Cari and Robb Show, a talk radio show “for independent Americans.”

“I would say that John absolutely brings that kind of moderate business acumen and business experience that Republicans in Denver proper really like,” said Maes of Hickenlooper. “We’ve seen several major Republican businessmen back John Hickenlooper, so I would absolutely trust the mayor when it comes to the economic health of our state and the business community more so than I would Tom.”
