2008
Polls in 2008 showed that Bordaberry by a huge margin was the candidate best placed to gain his party's nomination for the Uruguayan Presidential elections in 2009 .
Guillermo Stirling, the former Colorado Party candidate for the Presidency in 2004, was in 2008 seen as close to Bordaberry, rather than to former Vice President of Uruguay Luis Antonio Hierro López, also thought to be a likely candidate, but trailing considerably in polls thought to be broadly accurate.
Other prominent Colorado supporters include former Minister Jorge Sanguinetti and former Deputies Washington García Rijo and Diana Saravia Olmos, and former 'Intendente' of Artigas Ariel Riani.
