Colorado 2016 Congressional Races Thread

[Senate Minority Leader Lord Voldemort]

CO-6 should be competitive again, even if it was surprisingly decisive last time.

With Udall going down in flames and Romanoff mortally wounded, the Colorado Dems have suffered a setback. Bennet is kind of antonymous but he is a much smarter and a better politician than Udall. I also doubt that the GOP will be able to put up a candidate of comparable quality to Gardner. Nevertheless, because of the way Colorado is structured, both this race and the Presidential race in Colorado will be quite competitive. The GOP isn't going to let their only pickup opportunity besides Nevada go easily.  

What are you talking about? He lost by 2.5 points in a GOP wave year with voter turnout at nearly 50% of what it is in a regular year.

The GOP in CO is on a long, slow death march. Yeah, you'll win a few statewide races here and there. You might even win another Senate race or governor's race again. But, you all went from near total domination of the state leg for half a century to not even being able to pick up both chambers of it in the biggest GOP wave in living memory. We're being Californiafied and the state GOP keeps unmuzzling idiots like Tony Sanchez and Gordon Klingenschmitt, furthering the belief that the GOP is insane. When voter turnout in CD6 doubles for the next Pres. election, I hope that Mr. Entrenched is ready, because just two years ago he was nearly taken down by Joe Miklosi.

The only reason he won so big this year is because the CDP and Obama snubbed Latinos so they didn't turn out. I think that if somebody like Rhonda Fields or Linda Newell or Karen Middleton can mobilize suburban moms in Greenwood village and Latinos turn out for Hillary, Coffman is at a 50-50 chance.

Bennet will win, no matter what. Who will run against him, Buck? Cynthia? She won by outspending her opponent 10:1, but MB won't hesitate to air her dirty laundry everywhere. She's a gay-hating anti-abortion oil-billionaire-loving extremist who hasn't worked a day in a courtroom since the 1990s.
