CO-SEN Megathread: Cory In The House

What the hell is she thinking??? Especially since Hickenlooper decided not to jump in.

I'm actually kind of bummed about this, I was kind of rooting for the prospect of her becoming the next Colorado senator.

Ikr. Now we're stuck with Perlmutter. I really don't understand her decision.

Just a quick update on the CO field situation:

-No other Major Democrats have indicated that they may run in the CO-Senate race.

-Neguse is now the only House Democrat to not file for reelection in the first quarter, indicating a possible interest in running for the senate.

-Mike Johnston, the Progressive in the race currently, has raised the most amount of money in the race so far, at a whopping $1.8 million in quarter 1.

Neguse has ZERO chance of winning statewide office considering he just got to the US House of Representatives.... he needs to serve at least 4 terms in the House first before considering seeking higher office.

Yep! That's why single-term congresswoman Jacky Rosen lost to Unbeatable Titan Dean Heller last year.

It's also why freshman Tom Cotton lost in a landslide to Mark Pryor.

Safe D obviously, but I'm not happy. It would safe D with literally any other candidate, there's no reason for us to run an anti-progressive moderate.

Unfortunately he'll probably still win. I have no idea why anyone wanted this moron to run. We could nominate a corpse with a D next to its name and Gardner would still lose, yet Schumer and the DSCC got behind this crazy old man.
