Colorado Megathread: Buck-ing the trend

[backtored]

Udall may have to fight for this seat again, but Gardner's by no means a shoe-in.  The Tea Party isn't very well-liked at all in Colorado even though the state GOP is pretty much run by it.  Plus, Gardner's anti-environment record isn't going to help him, either.  He's too conservative for a state that is abandoning his brand, in spite of some backlash against state Democrats for reasons that pertain to local factors.

That is poli-spin for…....OH SNAP!

I suspect that Cory wins whatever race he runs, which almost makes me rather he take out Hickenlooper and drag legislative Republicans across the line.

If he is running, it is because he will probably win. There was talk about him being in line to be future Speaker, so for him to take this risk means that the polling they have is as bright as the state's big blue sky.

Democrats are right to be worried.

Debate was very similar to yesterday's, a draw with both candidates occasionally dodging or filibustering uncomfortable questions. There was also the moment when the moderator told Udall that "your campaign has been so focused on women's issues that some have referred to you as Mark Uterus."

And it's made the race Lean Sane Candidate. Keep up the good work, Mark!

Really? Basically everyone agrees this is a 50/50 race right now.

It us a toss-up.  But Gardner is in a better position than Udall.

Senate Majority PAC cancels over a quarter million in airtime. Giving up?

The article also states Democrats cancelled airtime in NC, where everyone agrees Hagan is winning. It wouldn't make any sense for Democrats to "give up" on a race that is essential to holding the Senate.

Maybe they feel confident in North Carolina.

Hillary was there yesterday helping Udall.

"Helping" is one way of putting it.

Dems say Udall's internals show a tie after a consistent 2% lead last month.

Hilarious. I'm telling you that Gardner will win. I am uncertain about the gubernatorial race, but I'm only hearing great news on the ground for Gardner.
