CO-Sen: Mike Coffman out

[Brittain33]

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?

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.

Udall lost because 2014.

Gardner's margin of victory was not impressive. Ed Gillespie got a higher perecentage of the vote than Cory Gardner. Udall could have definitely won had he run a better campaign - despite it being 2014.

An alternative view is that his narrow loss to Gardner showed that his "Mark Uterus" campaign was actually the best effort to keep it close, and it wasn't enough given how tremendous the Republican wave was combined with the electability of his opponent.
