[CT CONSERVATIVE]

How stupid do you Coloradons have to be to have believed this man? You had your chance to elect Pete Coors and all you got was another lying RAT.

On second thought I take it back. We here in the Nutmeg state have given everyone the likes of Chris Dodd and Joe Lieberman...apologies offered to my friends in Colo.

[Bluegrass Conservative]

Don't you sometimes feel sorry for the good people of Wales?

Pete Coors made the point about judges over and over in the senate campaign. Unfortunately he wasn't out in the state among Coloradoans enough saying this along what he could have talked about regarding other campaign topics. Pete counted on radio and TV way too much.

Are you from CT? If you are, I wouldn't accuse anyone of being politically stupid.

We in NJ are stupid too...Delivering Torricelli, Lautenberg twice and Corzine to the United States Senate. I apologize to conservatives everywhere for the mental illness that exudes from the Great State of New Jersey.

apologies offered to my friends in Colo.

Accepted.

I'm originally from CT. Left for good after Lowell Wanker sold out on the campaign promise of no state income tax. Never looked back.

Oh so it's more important not to be crosswise with Harry Reid than do the right thing for one's country.

[OldFriend]

I'll second that. NJ is the pits.

[Abram]

I think we trump just about everyone. In WA we offer the "winners" of Cantwell, Murray, McDermott, Inslee and "The Troll" Gregriore. McDermott alone is enough for ANYONE.

Unfortunately, NJ bent over for McGreevy as well but I didn't list him because he is the Governor and not in the "jump in front of any camera" U.S. Senate ...

[piceapungens]

This fellow has been a big disappointment. His brother John who is a house member representing western Colorado is actually a much more centrist democrat with good conservative values.

[el_texicano]

Salazar is just another example of a lowlife DemocRAT saying anything it takes to get elected, to get power.

[You Dirty Rats]

As I have often explained to electoral naifs and idealistic independents: in the American political system, party trumps person.

I have just two words for this guy: John McCain!

[rockthecasbah]

I lived in Colorado for many years until 1998. Never thought Colorado would send a Dem back to the senate after Campbell switched parties to Repub (saw the light)in 1995. It now appears that Salazar ran under false pretenses. Will wonders never cease! I can't talk, though, because my current state of residence has given Barbara Boxer to the US Senate.

[DLfromthedesert]

That's not as bad as my native state, NY. They thrust upon us a schmuck and a shrew.

[moondoggie]

How stupid do you Coloradons have to be.........

Well...we also elected Patsy Schroeder:-)
