Maes, Tancredo meet to discuss Maes' exit from race

The Paper.That.Shall.Not.Be.Named has an article in its spot that says Maes and Tancredo met Tuesday in Morrison.

The conversation centered around Maes getting out of the race; his spokesman later said the meeting was completely unproductive.

If Maes were to get out of the race, what would that mean for the GOP? Obviously none of the votes for Maes would be counted, and they couldn’t put in a replacement candidate unless they actually won the race (per the mess with Jason Clark and his recently-departed light guv.)

However, one question sticks in my head – even if the GOP got more than 10 percent, would it count with regard to the matter of minority party status? Or would the GOP get relegated to minority party status no matter how many votes they got?
