CO-SEN Megathread: Cory In The House

[Politician]

Hickenlooper isn't running? Thank God. Even though I'm an atheist.

I like Neguse personally, so I hope he runs and wins.

You do realize, Neguse is one of the few people who can actually lose this race, he would make the suburban margins narrower and there is a big difference winning a county by 15 vs. winning that same county by seven. Neguse would probably underperform the Democratic nominee extensively, in 2014 he received less votes than Mark "Uterus" Udall, he even underperformed the House Popular Vote in Colorado. In fact, Neguse underperformed all statewide Democrats, except for Treasurer nominee, Betsy Markey, who he outperformed by the unflattering total of 0.04%. Also since, these elections favored the GOP, I am only comparing Democratic candidate performances. The 2014 midterm elections show that Neguse would underperform the Democratic baseline

Kongress puts it extremely well, but theres also the fact that there is no real indication towards him making the suburbs narrower in CO.

Muh too progressive for suburban moderates!

Get real. He would lose 1-2 points compared to Clinton in JeffCo/Araphoe, but a Democrat still wins with those kind of numbers, especially given he does better in the southwest.

Saw on DKE that Jena Griswold is considering. She’d probably easily win the primary as the only woman in the race if she ran and she’d be the youngest senator if victorious.

I'd rather not given she just got elected SoS last year and we have plenty of good candidates in Colorado

Remember when Ron Johnson was toast? Pepperidge farms remembers.


I am not saying Gardner is poised to win, but I am simply saying the left should not be throwing a victory party a year before election day.

Comparing Gardner to Johnson makes no sense, as Johnson was not running in a blue state that will vote against his party at the presidential level.

A better comparison would be Mark Kirk or Scott Brown.

The Democrats would be foolish to take this seat for granted.

Dude, you literally think ME and IA are Titanium Safe R.

WingNightAlone literally said there is no way Democrats can win the Senate.

Here's my county prediction - Hickenlooper wins by around 9.

While we’re on the topic of RRH and their great commentary, today they are currently talking about how Tillis is in great shape for re-election and that Colorado is still in play

I remember when a single poll showed Edwards only barely ahead in LA RRH was talking about how badly he'd get blanched.

Hickenlooper raised $2.1 million dollars in the first six weeks of his campaign. Gardner raised $2.4 million in Q3.
