Tuesday Primaries: McMahon, Bennet Win
By not in system - AOL News(Aug. 11) -- Democrats came off in Tuesday night's primaries as the staid party, not overly eager to rebel against the establishment. Republicans, meanwhile, continued their propensity to take flyers. In Colorado, Sen. Michael Bennet struck a blow for establishment candidates on the line this year by surviving a stiff Democratic primary challenge from former state House speaker Andrew Romanoff. Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper ran unopposed for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. And in Connecticut, attorney general Richard Blumenthal ran unopposed for the Democratic Senate nomination. ...
Democrat Michael Bennet Survives Romanoff Senate Challenge in Colorado
By Jill Lawrence - Politics DailySen. Michael Bennet, striking a blow for establishment candidates on the line this year, survived a stiff primary challenge Tuesday from former state House Speaker Andrew Romanoff in what became a proxy battle of presidents past and present. Romanoff, who has been active in politics for nearly 20 years, positioned himself as an insurgent and challenged Bennet from the left. He appealed to the netroots and local party activists, thumbed his nose at the White House and the Democratic National Committee, and sold his own home to help finance his campaign. Gov. Bill Ritter named Bennet to the ...
Election Day Surprise: Andrew Romanoff Blasts the DNC on Fox News
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyToday's Democratic Senate primary in Colorado pitting Obama-backed incumbent Michael Bennet against Bill Clinton-endorsed challenger Andrew Romanoff is -- for obvious reasons -- one to watch. It is also interesting that on this Election Day, Romanoff appeared on Fox News' "Cavuto" (video below) to discuss the controversial job offer (ostensibly to entice him out of the race) he received from the White House. Even more interesting, though, is that during his TV segment, Romanoff slammed the DNC, saying it interfered in the Colorado race. As Romanoff said, I do believe it's unusual to see ...
Colorado Cliffhanger: Bennet and Romanoff Battle for Dem Senate Nod
By Patricia Murphy - Politics DailyAfter months of bruising attack ads, record-setting spending and dueling presidential endorsements, the Democratic primary contest between incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet and Andrew Romanoff will be decided Tuesday when the last Colorado voters go to the polls. The intra-party race has made national headlines for months, not only for the intensity of the match between two candidates, but also for twists and turns that have shaped it into one of the most impossible to predict since its earliest days, starting with the moment President-elect Barack Obama plucked freshman Sen. Ken Salazar from a ...
Colorado Primaries: Toss-Ups for Senate and GOP Governor's Races
By Sandra Fish - Politics DailyBOULDER, Colorado -- The primary suspense in Colorado should (we hope) end this week with Tuesday's election. It's clear that the two contests for U.S. Senate and the GOP race for governor (flawed as it is) will be close. A Public Policy Polling survey released Monday indicated the two GOP races are in statistical ties, while Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet leads by 49 percent to 43 percent, with 9 percent undecided. And, as predicted, it has been an expensive and nasty campaign season -- even before the general election. The primary question is this: Will the outsiders -- the GOP's Ken Buck ...
Colorado's Tuesday Primary: Governor and Senate Races Are All Close
By Bruce Drake - Politics DailyBusinessman Dan Maes has picked up a remarkable 34 points since May in his race against former Rep. Scott McInnis for the GOP gubernatorial nod in Colorado and is now in a statistical tie with the onetime frontrunner, according to a Public Policy Polling survey conducted Aug. 7-8. Both the Republican and Democratic senate contests are going down to the wire in Tuesday's primary election. McInnis, who has been accused of plagiarism for a series of public policy papers he did, has a bare 41 percent to 40 percent lead over Maes with 19 percent undecided. The margin of error is 3.5 points. A ...

Races in Michigan and Kansas Launch a Busy Primary Season
By Bruce Drake - Politics DailyThe August primary season begins in earnest Tuesday with the focus on Republican voters in Michigan, who will choose their candidate for governor, and in Kansas, where two long-serving congressmen are competing for the seat of GOP Sen. Sam Brownback, long a leading conservative. Both the crowded Michigan race and the Kansas contest between Reps. Todd Tiahrt and Jerry Moran, are close, according to the latest polls. It is also primary day in Missouri, but there isn't much question that the namesakes of two of the state's longstanding political families -- Democrat Robin Carnahan and ...
Upstarts Andrew Romanoff, Ken Buck Show Strength in Colorado Senate Nomination Races
By Bruce Drake - Politics DailyThe Colorado senate race could be heading for an outcome that no one foresaw earlier in the year: a general election face-off between Democrat Andrew Romanoff and Republican Ken Buck. Romanoff, the former House Speaker who decided to challenge incumbent Michael Bennet, is now statistically tied with Bennet at 48 percent to 45 percent, according to a poll for the Denver Post/9News published Sunday. The margin of error is 4.3 points. Last June, Romanoff had trailed Bennet by 17 points in the Post's poll. Jay Leve of SurveyUSA, which conducted the poll, said Romanoff's strength comes from ...
Jane Norton and Ken Buck: High Heels vs. Cowboy Boots in Colorado
By Sandra Fish - Politics DailyDENVER -- Let us take a brief break from the racism debate and talk about high heels. And sexism. We'll start with a one-liner: What's the difference between the two GOP Senate candidates in Colorado? High heels, according to the man in the race, Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck. He's running against former Lt. Gov. Jane Norton in the Aug 10 primary. Appointed Sen. Michael Bennet faces former state House speaker Andrew Romanoff on the Democratic side, but they're not arguing about footwear. Yet. Saturday, Buck made a stop at the annual Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms event held by the ...
