CO-Sen: Mike Coffman out

[Maxwell]

Yeah he's going to have a tough enough time defending his district, this isn't surprising. Hopefully Senator Bennet aka Mr. Roboto faces a real challenge from someone else who is more capable and less... birther.

[Maxwell]

This is why Coffman is a bad candidate.

This is obvious to all non-Wulfric people.

Rob Blaha
George Brauchler

Only two running in the GOP senate for 2016, anymore takers?

El Paso County Commissioner Darryl Glenn has been running for a while, as well as a Former Director of the Small Business Administration (Colorado) Greg Lopez and a perennial candidate.

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.

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

I watched Glenn and a couple of other candidates speak and I definitely see why a convention of staunch Republicans picked him - Glenn is probably the best public speaker of that group and pretty conservative (I'd describe him as Cruz-esqe). Neville is a pretty weak public speaker but he addressed something that was probably why he was considered the favorite - he's had more success in a lean Democratic district. Something that can't be said for some of the other candidates (Ryan Frazier in particular, who lost by double digits to Ed Perlmutter in CO-7 in a Republican wave year).

[Maxwell]

Nice. Glenn is probably a good enough candidate and way better than the rest (with the exception of maybe Keyser), but will it be enough to defeat Bennet? Leans D for now, although we could see a surprise here.

again, Glenn struck me as very very conservative - fits in just fine with El Paso county, but off the mark for the rest of the state.

[Maxwell]

Jack Graham seemed to raise the most, but nobody knows who that is. Meanwhile Darryl Glenn didn't raise a thing...

It looks, from a distance, like Mike Bennet is totally safe.

[Maxwell]

This is the guy that the Colorado GOP thought could make the race competitive? Him?

Businessman Robert Blaha is on the ballot now, and Frazier is still in the legal battle to get on it himself.

Ryan Frazier comes out with a zombie themed ad. Super odd but could get traction for standing out.
