Tea Party favorite Ken Buck has won the Republican Senate nomination in Colorado. He'll face Sen. Michael Bennet in November. The TPM Poll Average gives Buck a lead of 45.6%-43.2% over Bennet.

It will be a tough race. There are a lot of bruised feelings, a lot of money and enthusiasm has been sucked out of the other campaigns to support this senatorial primary.  I hope that the Bennet campaign is able to reach out to those 46% of the Democrats who did not support his nomination.  This is not a shoo-in race, and the Denver metro activist dems will have to be activated.  If they stay home, we can forget the other statewide races, redistricting,  fixing our state and all the work which began in 2004.  It will not fun to live in Mississippi West.
