Republican Senate candidate Jane Norton’s bad day just keeps getting worse. From Politico:
POLITICO has learned that Buck will get another lift Wednesday when he’s expected to earn the endorsement of Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) during a conference call with reporters and bloggers. DeMint has established himself as a prolific fundraiser for candidates who share his conservative principles. And his seal of approval can also lend greater legitimacy to a candidate like Buck, who trails Norton in the critical barometers of campaign funds and name identification.

I remember when I first emailed him asking for an interview. We were sitting down 2 hours later at a McDonalds off I-25. The effort he puts in is reminiscent of LBJ when he ran for the House & Senate the first times.
That level of effort is why I’ve consistently said don’t write him off.
is that the Republicans are split, too
Assuming Mr. Buck is the Republican nominee (I know he is still a long shot) having Senator DeMint’s endorsement will present Mr. Buck with some interesting questions about whether he supports some of the ideas DeMint has lent his name to. More later.
I think he would be a much stronger candidate against Bennet. And the money would not be too much of an issue because if he wins the primary, the bucks will poor in fast for him.
As to his being endorsed by DeMint, Buck has been pretty solid in his policies so I think he’ll be able to avoid that type of attack (mostly).
Once again I agree with you. I think Buck has a good ‘narrative’ that could be a winner with voters.
But I also could be radically wrong about that. I previously thought much the same thing about Romanoff and while he seems to give a better stump speech his numbers even with the base are not overwhelming.
Now I get it!!!
Are you Wiens or just his campaign manager?
Bashing Norton on one post and Buck on this one…
Or he will after he makes ballot. He KNOWS how to use the internet.
But a man who isn’t afraid to ask only looks stupid once.
If someone is impressed that Senator DeMint has endorsed Buck, does that mean that the same someone thinks that Colorado ought to be more like South Carolina?
I only ask because I’ve been to South Carolina and think that Colorado is much nicer.
… What this means about discipline within the RSCC. Norton is the chosen one, but DeMint is off the reservation.
or, a different one?

The ads started running today. Klein should be careful, though. He shouldn’t be the one announcing the 3rd party ads. Has the whiff of coordination to it.
Seriously? With a straight face how can you say “whiff of coordination”?
C’mon! How many different groups have taken up (and then dropped) this pro-Buck campaign? Who’s dropping this much money into the shadowy groups pulling these puppets?
NO ONE can tell us??? What happened to in depth reporting?
for a reason. Disclosure is not necessary for a lot of these groups, so we might not know who is dropping the money on these.
I saw one and made sure to check and see who was paying for it.
I think I’ve figured out something. These commercials and the constant changing groups have irritated me enough to do some REALLY boring research.
I’ll try to put it together and post sometime soon. This can’t be too hard to figure out.
of the Politico article?
If she can finesse a three-way primary in which two candidates — Buck and Wiens — divide the right-wing cuckoo clock/birther/teabagger then the moderate Republicans, who are still a majority of the party, though not of the activists — might nominate her.
This is a slap in the face of Norton, no doubt.
But I bet most Republicans in CO have no idea who DeMint is…
See e.g., here. Not that any right-wingers vote in Colorado Republican primaries, but if they did, this would be a big deal.
