Does Maes have Tancredo to thank?

I can't help thinking that Tancredo's recent entry into the governor's race made Dan Maes' victory in yesterday's primary more likely.  I'm sure a lot of Republican voters were unhappy with Scott McInnis but were probably willing to vote for him anyway since they saw him as more electable than Maes.  But once Tancredo jumped in, what's the point in casting a strategic vote?  Hickenlooper has this in the bag anyway. Might as well vote sincerely for someone who makes you feel good.
