We were helped along by the complete implosion of the local Republican Party. That Democrats kept the governorship represents quite possibly the most fantastic own-goal ever in state politics (though the Democrats ran a good candidate, which helps). <br /><br />As for our Senate race, I'm of two minds about what the results mean.<br /><br />More outside money came into that race than any other in the nation, and most of it was spent on attack ads against Buck highlighting his views on reproductive rights.<br /><br />So on the one hand, I think it's cool that access to abortion and birth control is important enough to voters that it swayed some of them even in this year of tremendous backlash against Democrats. (And as an appointee hand-picked by Obama, no one was more tied to the administration than Bennet.)<br /><br />On the other hand, maybe all it means is that Senate seats can still be bought, for the right price.chingonanoreply@blogger.com
