Colorado Senate race

The Republicans only have two Senate races this fall in which it’s deemed possible they could unseat the incumbent. One of them is in Colorado, where Michael Bennet is finishing up his first term. Today the state had a primary in which the Republicans fielded five candidates, and the guy with the least money won. He’s a tea-partier and he calls himself a “Christian constitutionalist conservative.” Look at who likes him:

He won endorsements from Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and the tea party-aligned Senate Conservatives Fund, which poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into his campaign.

He’s gonna lead, he says. He’s gonna make his opponent spend money defending Obamacare and the Iran deal and the mean EPA and its regulations, by golly.

Bennet’s got about $5M to spend. I hope he buries this guy, but this is the same state in which Cory Gardner beat Mark Udall last time out, so the Dems can’t take anything for granted.
