Washington Post's "Fix" Senate Line Drops Colorado To #7

  • 6 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

That’s the 7th most likely Senate seat to change parties, the drop reflecting growing uncertainty about primary contenders on both sides–the Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza updates his take:

7. Colorado (D): Two key unanswered questions will determine how competitive this race is next year. First, can former state House speaker Andrew Romanoff raise enough money — with the national party working to shut down all possible avenues of cash for him — to ensure that Democratic primary voters know they have an alternative to appointed Sen. Michael Bennet? Second, how much personal money is former state senator Tom Wiems (R) willing to put into his primary campaign against former lieutenant governor Jane Norton (R)? (He has said he will put in $500,000. Double that and it could be a problem for Norton.) A Bennet-Norton matchup concerns Democratic strategists. And, it should. (Previous ranking: 6)

    1. But I agree w/ Pols, Wiens killed in that 9News interview. He actually has a message, and (unlike Norton’s) it is actually plausible if you believe a guy who can write his campaign a $1 million check is suffering. And Republicans believe the darndest things!  

    1. With who, exactly? And what message? As near as I can tell the message from Bennett is, “I’m the safe choice, I don’t have anything to say other than repeating Democratic Leadership Council talking points, and I can raise lots of money.”
