Let's start lining up good people for these seats. Ken Buck barely lost in 2010 because of the republican nominee for governor and that mess. We can take this seat! And we can throw out his brother in New Mexico too!

Tancredo is running for Governor. He said that the State of Colorado spends $2B for welfare for illegal aliens then. This kills the budget and then the Democrats black male the state for tax increases to fund schools.

Ken Buck didn't lose because of the gubernatorial disaster. He was a disaster in his own right. I'm told that many who voted straight Republican (for sec. of state, attorney general, etc.) took a pass on voting for Buck. The most commonly cited problem with him is that he blew the women's vote. My own beefs with him are that he's terrible on Tenth Amendment and immigration issues. I got into big arguments with him on these issues at one of his meet-n-greets.

Every day I ask myself if the Republican party has run so far off the rails that it's time to re-register Independent. If Buck somehow gets the nomination, that would be the last straw.

Buck wasn’t a great candidate himself, I wouldn’t put the blame on Maes.
