Sweet!   Dems hold a Senate seat and pick up a House seat

Don't be so confident. Heck is battle-tested and moderate, while Masto has never had a tough race before. In terms of the house seat, Senate Majority Leader Michael Roberson (R) is expected to run, and he'll be no pushover.

>2 point loss in a single-issue campaign against one of the best recruits of the cycle

>crushed

condom haters gonna hate
Im not talking just about Colorado but in several senate and gubernatorial elections Dems ran accusing their opponents of a "war on women" but lost because only a small amount of (albeit sometimes deep-pocketed) idiots will base their votes only on the abortion issue. If you dissagree you can ask governors Mary Burke and Wendy Davis

I was implying that Michael Roberson wanted to ban condoms like Gardner did

Again, Personhood does not ban condoms!

Make that two House seats. Crescent Hardy only won in a D+4 district because nobody turned out to vote. With a presidential turnout, Hardy is a goner, just like Bob Dold in D+8 IL-10

Hardy will survive as long as Lucy "I love abortion!" Flores is the dem. Nominee. Also, with Kirk likely to win IL-10 comfortably even in a 4, 5 point statewide loss, Dold is hardly a guranteed loser unless Kirk has no coattails.

Uhm... do you know that Senator Gardner sponsored a Senate Bill that want to make birth control pills easier to afford and more accessible?

That bill also makes women pay for their birth control instead of insurance, which makes it actually harder to afford. I've been following this because my senator is also sponsoring it and I'm disgusted that she wants to take away my condoms

Which brings up the question of why birth control, in particular, has to be free. Even if we accept it as an essential thing for a women to have access to, the obvious counterargument is that other prescriptions that are essential for some people, such as allergy medication, antibiotics, and insulin injections, don't come with a guranteed copay of $0. I agree that Birth Control should be avaliable and affordable, but I don't understand why it is the one drug that the left insists is absolutely free for everyone, including those who can afford to make a 10, 20 dollar copay without any problem.

They tried making medicine free. Then traitors in the caucus sold the American people out to Big Insurance and they had to only keep the birth control part.

Ah, Okay.
