The Washington Post’s blog The Fix has a headline that says it all: Who had the worst week in Washington? Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.). A dubious honor indeed. Poor Sen. Udall. We almost feel bad. Almost. The recap:
“…this past week Rep. Cory Gardner, a rising Republican star who had previously spurned a challenge to Udall, decided to run. Buck quickly dropped out of the race to run for Gardner’s now-open 4th Congressional District seat. State Rep. Amy Stephens also abandoned her Senate candidacy, calling Gardner “the great uniter.”
And voila! Within 48 hours, Udall went from being a safe incumbent to being one of the half-dozen or so most endangered senators on the ballot this fall.”
And, then, blogger Chris Cillizza twists the knife through Udall’s heart:
Mark Udall, for watching your opponent turn from a frog to a prince, you had the worst week in Washington. Congrats, or something.
Ouch, sorry Sen. Udall. It’s been a tough few weeks for you.
Actually although Bennett was appointed he did win the re-election campaign. But I hope he loses cause he never goes against Harry Reid. So that makes him another Harry Reid.
Suffer and let there be plenty for the Democrats and UDALL…this guy has been the worst empty suit that has ever been elected…Bennett is right behind him, but he was appointed…a poor appointment, but appointed
I hope Cory is the one who can oust Udall. He is way more polished than Ken Buck. I don't think he will have any problem winning the primary.
Good plan for now but R's will figure out a way to screw it up
