This is great news. Tipton ran a great campaign to win a race that was thought out of reach a few weeks ago.

Yet another captured seat from the moonbats. It was at 65 a half hour ago.

Yeah. We didn’t get as much good news in CO as I would have liked tonight. Tipton, Gardner, and Suthers being about it. Buck still up in the air. Happy he’s going to take out Ken’s bro.

CO is another state with a disconnect. Fairly good House gains but the Senate race is pretty much tied. Frustrating. If Buck wins though they should be up to at least 47 GOP senators.

Yes, that’s good news. But 60, 61 and 101 failed—a huge failure for Republicans in our State. It’s not conservative at all to vote against such amendments and propositions. So we’ll buy elsewhere, and may the default come soon.

60, 61, and 101 were outspent $7,000,000 to $17,000. A good portion of that that $7 million came out of the ‘rats pockets and might have been spent on more attack adds against our candidates.

Not a bad ROI...

Salazar's people (both the Party and other groups) ran one of the dirtiest campaigns I've ever seen—with slanderous radio ads several times per hour and multiple postal mailings with the same sort of B.S. Salazar was even worse than Scott's primary challenger (Bob McConnell), who ran the most dishonest campaign I've seen from anyone with an "R" after their name.

Ken Buck has been getting the same sort of treatment, with false radio ads from Bennet's people every few minutes right up until the polls closed.

I can't believe so many RINOs voted against those tax decreases. It wasn't even close. Colorado seems to be moving from purple to blue. The Ken Buck race shouldn't be nearly as close as it is either.

“The Ken Buck race shouldn’t be nearly as close as it is either. “

You’re correct, it shouldn’t have been this close, put Ken was a poor candidate. Don’t get me wrong, I like Ken, but he just was a poor campaigner. Couldn’t stay on message and was obviously not a people person. Instead of projecting joy and happiness at what he was doing and being with the people supporting him, drawing from their energy, Ken often looked like he wanted to be anywhere but where he was at the moment.

John will find a cushy spot in the Obama administration. As will probably quite a few others.

The Salazar brothers have ended our energy exploration and forced us to depend upon our enemies for our energy for the foreseeable future.
