I've seen leads for Hickenlooper of 1, 3 and 5. And that's with Maes still in it.

I just found this. This pollster thinks the GOP wave will overwhelm Hickenlooper:

"I do believe that Tom Tancredo is going to win," Flaherty declared. In recent polls, Tancredo has about 73% of Republican voters. Flaherty thinks Tancredo will wind up with over 80% of Republicans. It will be in the low 80s, he said.

Tancredo is benefiting from Dan Maes' decision to stay in the race, Flaherty said. Because Maes stayed in the race, Hickenlooper and the Democrats figured that Tancredo and Maes would split the conservatives' and unaffiliated voters' and that they didn't have anything to worry about. If Maes had dropped out, as Tancredo and Republican leaders asked him to, the Democrats would have attacked Tancredo, he said.

Now that Tancredo is poised to win, Flaherty said, it's too late for the Democrats to attack Tancredo.

Ironically, the bitter Maes has stayed in the race to, I think, make sure that Tancredo loses. Now it appears that he's helping Tancredo win. Now, that would be poetic justice.

Maes probably will get 6% to 7% of all votes, but it's hard to predict, Flaherty said. Recent polls show Maes getting from 5% to 10% of all votes.

The way early voting is going, Flaherty said, 80,000 to 110,000 more Republicans than Democrats will vote on Nov. 2. He's predicting that Republicans will account for 42% of all votes while Democrats "will hang around 35%" and unaffiliated voters will cast about 25% of the votes, down from the high 20s that he had been anticipating. He doesn't know why fewer unaffiliated voters are voting than he expected.

Unaffiliated voters are favoring Republicans in the polls he's done for candidates and independent groups. In 2008, Republicans out voted Democrats by about 37,900 voters, and in 2006, about 45,800 more Republicans than Democrats voted. Democrats won in both 2006 and 2008.

Quite a story, even if Tancredo has some issues.

Conservative gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo is highlighting a would-be taxicab company to promote his plans to cut government regulations.

Tancredo stood Friday with immigrant cab drivers, whom he pointed out were in the country legally. They tried unsuccessfully to form Mile High Cab Inc. in metro Denver but to get clearance from the state Public Utilities Commission.

Tancredo says government regulation is too burdensome for new companies. Tancredo is a former Republican now running with the American Constitution Party.
