I’m sorry, but Ken Buck is a fool. He was a shoe-in to beat Bennett a year ago and managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory because he thought he was smarter than reporters. He’s not. Not by a long shot. They repeatedly set trap questions for him and every time he bit, taking the bait along with the hook, line and sinker. He just could NOT keep his mouth shut. All he had to do was emulate Scott Brown’s campaign in Massachusetts three years ago and just fricking STAY ON MESSAGE! No matter what question he was asked all he had to do was provide one of five stock answers that stayed on message, but ‘ol Ken Buck couldn’t manage that.
I gave that dumbass some really big bucks then, but will never give him another cent. There just HAS to be better candidates in Colorado than that guy. And much smarter ones too.
Yet, Buck lost by less than one point in a year when the republican party in the state completely collapsed. And if Cornyn had funded him early instead of being in a snit because he beat the NRSC’s preferred candidaten (while meanwhile funding Lisa Murkowski instead of the republican nominee), it might have been just enough to push him over the top.
I don’t live in CO and don’t know the lay of the land but I certainly hope the people nominate, if not Buck, another conservative!
