Just in case you were wondering what the fundraising is like:

Bennet has raised $2.65 million, with $2.23 million on hand.
Buck has raised $333k, with $314k on hand.
Frazier has raised $143k, with $127k on hand.

That Tidwell dude has apparently not raised anything.

Lunar's suspicion is that Bennet is some kind of sith lord ... how else could a moderately successful school superintendant and complete political newcomer end up being one of the best fundraisers, deter all Democratic challengers despite being a moderate hero, and prevent any actual competition on the GOP side to boot, although the latter could just be  interpreted as the ineptness of the CO GOP.

On the money issue alone, having a brother as editor-in-chief of a prominent magazine that lures bored liberal millionaires to your state each year for a festival of ideas must help with the connections.

that can explain some of the money, but not deterring Democratic challengers or the rest of the sith lord behavior

Why give up a safe House seat (in the cases of Reps. DeGette, Perlmutter, and Salazar) to roll the dice on a Senate bid?

I suppose there's also Andrew Romanoff, but he's young enough to wait for another opportunity to move to Washington.
