We wrote yesterday about our decision to move Democrat Jason Crow ahead of Republican Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) in our CO-6 listing on “The Big Line.”

The “Crowmentum” appears to be spreading. Check out today’s updated rankings from the prognosticators at Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball:

The folks over at the University of Virginia Center for Politics have moved the race in CO-6 from “Toss-up” to “Leans Democratic.” We can’t say that we have ever seen CO-6 listed as better than a “Toss-up” in any national ranking.

Sabato’s Crystal Ball also has a new listing for Colorado’s race for Governor that is much less surprising:

Thanks in part to the stunning incompetency of Republican gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton, the race for Governor in Colorado “Leans Democratic” in the same way that President Trump “Leans Crazy.”
