[OC]

Bennet is trailing in every single poll thus far and I doubt there will be any coattails, with Ritter due the competetive nature of that race.

[nkpatel1279]

Regarding CO-Bennet- He was appointed to this seat as a political novice by a Ritter-D who very unpopular. However- Bennett-CO has money to stay competitive against ex Lt Governor Jane Norton in the general election.
