Fleming instigated the fight by making a number of dubious claims about supposed negative impacts […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: Charles Ashby updated his story today, and in all fairness, it looks like he quoted Sen. Ellen Roberts wrong.

“Perhaps it is impossible for a person who does no good to do no harm.” –Harriet Beecher Stowe

Chaos. On Monday the GOP lost its only decent potential candidate for U.S. Senate when Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) made it official that he would seek re-election in CD-6 rather than challenge Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet in 2016.
