Hold it! No one else has called this race yet. The AP’s praise is a prime example of their lousy journalistic standards.
Go to county by county results and you will see where Buck lost this and will only drift further behind. Colorado is a lost cause statewide this cycle but did flip some house seats. Again, if you have just rudimentry knowledge of Colorado politics you can tell by one county, Jefferson who will win statewide. When results came in last night showing that spread NRO pointed this out. I believe once all of Boulder is counted you will see that Buck will lose 48-46....just like Jefferson county.
In fact Jefferson county voted Hickenlooper 50 -40 over tancredo and again that is how it turned out statewide. Just need better candidates, for example if Fiorina would of been in Colorado she would of won, Buck was just not a good candidate imo.
