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.
Nobody thought Wisconsin was a purple state at the time (including me) and people thought as soon as Russ Feingold entered the race he was doomed. I thought Russ Feingold was heavily favored myself, so yeah, upsets can happen, but it's unlikely in Colorado with Trump at the top.
