Colorado Makes List of Interesting Remaining Primaries

• by: Colorado Pols

Granted, this isn’t a tough list to crack, since there aren’t many primaries left. But here’s the breakdown from “The Fix,” including the #1 slot:

3. Colorado Senate (R, Aug. 3): Whatever is in the water in Florida seems to have found its way to over Colorado where frontrunner Jane Norton (R) is now desperately trying to knock down a challenge from Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck (R). Buck wasn’t supposed to go anywhere but his outsider bid has struck a chord with the conservative grassroots, garnered national attention and forced Norton into a race to the right. (Witness her latest web video on the war on terror.) Norton’s got the establishment backing, but right now, Buck’s got the momentum.

2. Colorado Senate (D, Aug. 3): Bennet should win, Romanoff could win. A fascinating test case about the toxicity of the environment.

1. Arizona Senate (R, Aug. 24): The McCain-Hayworth battle has been nasty for months and will only get more so in the final 60 days. The central question for Hayworth: how can he grow his support beyond the 35 percent (or so) of the most conservative primary voters?
