Sucks to be Buck.

Ken Buck’s campaign was dealt a huge blow today by Attorney General John Suthers’ endorsement of Jane Norton for Senate. Aaron Blake of The Hill reports that Suthers issued a statement saying:

“She has a proven track record of experience in tackling and solving big issues, and I believe she is the right person to stand up for Colorado’s law enforcement community in our nation’s capitol.”

Ouch.

As the Weld County District Attorney, one would suppose Buck would be the person to “stand up for Colorado’s law enforcement community” in the eyes of, you know, the chief legal officer for the state. If a District Attorney doesn’t have the legal community on his side, exactly who’s in his corner?

Suthers’ endorsement of Norton is another drop in the overflowing bucket of problems the Buck campaign has faced in the past couple of months. With embarrassingly low fundraising figures in the fourth quarter of 2009, and now a ringing legal-expert endorsement of a rival candidate, the question remains: Why is Buck still running?
