Both candidates had pushed conservative platforms in their speeches to delegates at the state GOP assembly ?? from securing the borders to cutting the state budget. McInnis called for immigration reform and touted his endorsement by the champion of that cause, former 6th District Congressman Tom Tancredo.

The minor difference in campaign platforms was that Maes pledged that, if elected, to abolish an amendment, passed by voters in 2000, that legitimized the distribution of medical marijuana. That assertion even surprised some of his supporters who are Republicans and ??Constitutionalists.? They noted that Colorado voters had approved that amendment and no governor can usurp the rights of the voters.

I do think, however, that Maes is less likely than McInnis to win the general.
