CO-SEN Megathread: Cory In The House

[JMT]

While they are not top tier recruits, I honestly think Mike Johnston or Andrew Romanoff would be fine challengers to Gardner. I think either Johnston or Romanoff could win the general election.

State Sen. Angela Williams dropped out of the Senate race a few days ago, choosing instead to run for reelection to her current office:

It looks like Hickenlooper's only main challenger for the nomination now is Andrew Romanoff.

As far as I'm concerned, Warren just threw a pillow over the Romanoff campaign's head to protect a conservative Democrat running in a blue state.

Can we bring back the snake emojis?

This isn't a full-throated endorsement, but Merkley also appears to have tacitly accepted Hickenlooper's DSCC coronation:

A bad spot for both of the likely progressive Senate candidates in a hypothetical 2024 presidential race (I don't fault either at all for endorsing Gideon, who's reasonably progressive herself and up against a crank in the primary).

Warren complimenting Hickenlooper on climate is genuinely taking the mickey - it's not going erase her record, the great body of which has been progressive, but as with much of what she's done in 2020, it doesn't suggest good things going forward. At least if she ends up playing spoiler next time, this can be a point of reference.

In their potential 2024 Presidential bids, no one (with the exception of people on this forum) will know or care about Warren or Merkley's endorsement in a Colorado Senate race 4 years prior. Sure, some people here and on twitter may be upset about it right now, but this will not be a factor for the broader electorate in 4 years.
