CO 2014

[Vosem]

I'm not Coloradan...but from what I've heard, Hickenlooper is very popular and may not be seriously challenged. As for Udall, apparently Jane Norton has already spoken to the NRSC about challenging him. I do wonder what Suthers will do (he could basically have picked between a Senate seat and the Governor's Mansion in 2010, but he was too cautious, so I'm curious to see what he will do in 2014...are Coloradan executive officers, like the AG/Governor, term-limited?

Who was the last republican governor of Colorado?

Bill Owens, who was term-limited out in 2006.

AG- This is going to be the real marquee race. The Republicans will have a choice between Tea-Partyin' Ken Buck and establishment candidate Cynthia Coffman (Mike's wife) and the Dems will choose between Boulder liberal DA Stan Garnett or Adams County DA, and Salazar protege/moderate Don Quick. Don Quick would easily win election statewide, but has less $ than Garnett so might not survive his primary. Quick vs. Coffman would be the most competitive race, but I sadly think that Buck vs. Garnett is more realistic. This will be a close one unless it is Quick vs. Buck.

Ken Buck? Godpleaseno

SoS- This will also be a real interesting one. Jeffco Clerk Pam Anderson--related to GOP icon Norma Anderson--will likely be taking on CU Regent Joe Neguse. Gessler sh**t all over this office, but Joe is very liberal and not as well known. It's a tossup

Is Gessler not running for another term?
