I guess if you are from Colorado this means something? I live in Hawaii and don’t know any of those names and being there is NO D or R after any of there names, useless info.
They are both DemoRats that need replacing for the good of the state and nation (in the case of Udall).
Second paragraph helps a bit with the Udall/Gardner explanation.
But, to help out, Udall = ultra liberal democrat; Gardner is a moderately conservative Republican representative.
Hickenlooper is the democrat Governor, governing over the ultra liberal democrat legislature that has done things like pass the most absurd gun control laws, election laws, and done things like pass energy policy that cripples Colorado’s rural population.
Colorado used to be conservative but because of the influx of people from California, has swung liberal. Kind of ironic that people fled CA left because of the high taxes and liberal politicians.... only to recreate the same thing here in Colorado.
So there is a pretty large population of CA liberals who love Hickenlooper.
