Josh Penry or Jane Norton would both make the seat very competitive.

Would Suthers consider, also?

Jane Norton? What is this, 2010? She's a huge paper tiger, and a name from the past.

Suthers is now the mayor of Colorado Springs, he just got elected.
... Do either of your comments make a point?

Norton is much better at stump speeches than most other candidates, and strong campaigning on her part would help.

Suthers took office nearly the same time as Stapleton. Does that mean the latter shouldn't run?

Overall, I think Penry would be a very strong candidate. Brauchler seems more like a John McCain to Penry's Scott Smith. To compound, Brauchler could easily win or heavily lose, while Penry would glide to victory with coattails.

Um, yes, my posts both make points. They make points that trump your irrelevant (and wrong) point on Jane Norton being somehow good at stump speeches (losing to Ken Buck is not evidence of strong campaigning, in fact, the opposite). And the difference between Suthers and Stapleton is Suthers JUST won Mayor of Colorado Springs. Stapleton has already served a term as Colorado's Treasurer for a term.

Your ability to pick irrelevant people who obviously aren't going to run out of a hat and argue inanely for them really bugs me.

Jane Norton would be very formidable. She's Cynthia Coffman with a  brain.

Don't count on Josh Penry. Every time the GOP trots out some aging frat boy "millennial"--cough cough Josh Mandel--they get trounced. Young people may seem like potential swing voters, but the GOP strategy should be to keep them from voting, not trying to win their vote. White women in the suburbs are the only real swing vote in CO, so give them one of their own.

Also, Brauchler and Blaha are horrible too. They are too far right for the electorate and lack Cory Gardner's lying skills. I still think this is Likely Dem, assuming there isn't another financial meltdown.

Penry dropped out in the last gubernatorial race quietly because of an affair. I doubt he would run 2014, it still could be too early. Also he's busy managing someone's presidential campaign for the state and making money as an "advisor" to people like Coffman.

Why is Colorado GOP party weak when trying to vet a senator?

Hopefully Tipton gets in soon and ends this recruiting blunder.

Good news for the CO GOP. The Coffmans and Brauchler would have lost to Bennet. Anyway, this race looks like the NC one: Winnable with a perfect candidate and a perfect campaign, otherwise just fools' gold.

Even if the bolded part is true, they can still run a closer race than Robert Blaha or Greg Lopez can. And it's better to run a candidate who can at least give Dems a scare and get them to spend money here than nominate a complete joke like Blaha or Lopez.

Hmm... Frazier is a pretty strong candidate. Glenn is pulling in a ton of establishment support. Frazier, Laffey, and Neville are the only other Republicans who can give any real competition to Glenn.

So a Colorado Republican Senate primary has not one, but two African Americans. Interesting.

I'm expecting a strong show of support for Frazier, who could carry the day with all the Tea Partiers running.

Where does he stand on ideological scale? If "solid conservative" then i am ready (especially in presidential year) to bet some money on Bennet.

Last Dem Corp poll showed Bennet doing very well against GOP.

That just doesn't make sense. If Mark Udall of all people could get thrown out and be replaced by a clown like Cory Gardnernor no real reason, how is Bennet doing so well?

Prez Obama waited for Boehner to pass immigration reform. And none of the challengers running are Coffman and Gardner.

His opponents have low name recognition. The establishment Commissioner Glenn would make this toss-up, and it's likely either he or Frazier will win the primary given the many Tea Partiers running.

Undecided: 60%

Trump is a poor fit Colorado, and Nate Silver & Sabato still agrees on the 272 blue wall, Bennet is still favored.

60% undecided, basically a useless poll at this stage. None of the candidates are top tier like Gardner was in 2014, so this race could go any way in the primary. Unless if this year ends up being a GOP wave year or Clinton performs really poorly, then Bennet should win this.

Because Michael Bennet hasn't started running a one-issue campaign on abortion to the point where the papers are calling him Michael Uterus (yet). That's the main reason Mark Udall lost.
