Civil war amongst the Colorado Springs Republicans?? :)

Congressman Joel Hefley said Tuesday that he will stick to his plan to retire at the end of the year, despite an effort to have him seek re-election as a write-in candidate.

The 20-year Republican congressman said, however, that he will not back GOP nominee Doug Lamborn for the seat, explaining that he can not condone the way the state senator campaigned in a six-way primary.

The former chairman of the House ethics committee, who had endorsed his former aide and eventual primary runner-up Jeff Crank, said, though, that he was “stunned by the dissatisfaction with Doug Lamborn as a candidate.” He then added his name to the list of dissatisfied.

Though he will not endorse Lamborn, Hefley said it would be “very difficult” as well to support Democrat Jay Fawcett because he wants Republicans to keep control of the House. But he added: “I don’t know what I’m going to do at this point about that.”
