Musgrave Only Colorado Target

According to MyDD (via  Square State), no Colorado Democratic congressional members are currently top targets for Republicans in 2008, and only Republican Marilyn Musgrave makes the top list for congressional members deemed to be vulnerable.

This is no real surprise, as we’ve said plenty of times before. Congressional districts one (Diana DeGette) and five (Doug Lamborn) aren’t changing party hands unless they are significantly changed in redistricting. Districts two (Mark Udall, for now) and six (Tom Tancredo, for now) also aren’t likely to change party hands even though the names may be different in 2008.

That leaves districts three (John Salazar), four (Musgrave) and seven (Ed Perlmutter) as the only real competitive seats in Colorado, but blowout victories by Salazar and Perlmutter in 2006 should keep the GOP from targeting them until at least 2010.
