We’ll get into more of the details tomorrow, but three new names to discuss:

Dan Maes (R) for Governor.

The GOP obviously thinks the “Tea Party” movement is a serious electoral problem/opportunity in 2010. Maes is their only outlet against Scott McInnis, and he’ll only go as far as the tea bags take him. His success will show whether the “Tea Party” is a real movement or just a handful of loud, angry people.

Dean Madere (R) in CD-4.

In any other year, in any other climate, Madere is probably a complete non-starter. But he has the most “Tea Party” support, and in a four-way primary, that could get him to the general election. Remember the chaos of the 2006 CD-5 primary? It won’t take that many votes to win a four-way race.

Lang Sias (R) in CD-7.

He readily admits that he doesn’t even live in the district, but neither did Bob Beauprez when he was first elected here in 2002. Being endorsed by John McCain isn’t that big of a deal; the fact that he is connected enough to make that happen says a lot.
