"Rising Star" Congressional Republican Jumps into Senate Race to Unseat Democrat Mark Udall
Udall is perceived as weak, but this seat wasn't viewed as a likely pickup because of a perceived "weak field."
Cory Gardner is apparently considered strong. He had apparently refused previous attempts to recruit him for this race because he was rising in the House leadership and I guess he felt like a sure thing is better than a risky one.
But he's been jawboned into getting into the race. Or maybe he thinks Udall is so weak that this bid isn't quite so risky as it once seemed.
Various politics-watchers on Twitter, @HotlineJosh, @AaronBlakeWP, @TheFix, call this either a "game changer" or a "huge recruitment" for the GOP.
CAC will post this when his erection is no longer sore.
By the way, for anyone still saying "It doesn't matter who wins or loses" or "I'd actually prefer to lose" or that sort of thing, let Harry Reid congratulate you on your dubious wisdom.
