I wasn’t aware of what you told me. Thanks for the information. Still it looks bad no matter how you slice it according to realclearpolitics.com:

Being somewhat local, and being in CO long enough to have watched Hickenlooper, I am somewhat sick to my stomach about the possibility. In such a critical year, a critical time in CO’s future, I cannot understand how the Republicans didn’t do a better job of vetting and picking candidates. We really screwed up.
Hickenlooper is a very likeable man, very congenial. He is about as radical as they come, it appears, but the media is going to protect him on that. And voters are going to like him.
Look at the polling dates. They are all before Maes crashed and burned. Hickenloper is still below 50%. This indicates he may have a strong advantage but it is far from a done deal.
