I miss a republican saying "BUT... KEN BUCK! KEN BUCK!! BUCK? KEN" here.
...you do realize it's said to mock the Dems, right? Because that's all they could talk about for weeks when this race was tightening.
"But Ken Buck was ahead in 2010 and Ken Buck didn't win! See!"
We only started frequently using him as an excuse of a bad candidate after he Forum Dems held him up as the quintessential CO Republican from 2010 until forever.
Of course I know that its initial purpose was to mock the dems, but it's pretty obvious it's become a way of ridiculing yourselves now. We got the point and people stopped saying "But Ken Buck" a long time ago, but some republicans (not all... thank god!) keep saying "B... KEN BUCK" when the people actually have a point, and that's that if Gardner is leading by 1-3 points, he might lose, just as it happened in 2010 (and there are many republicans who agree with that, BTW).
