Defiant Coffman sure to turn to middle in new tossup 6th District

By | 11.15.11 | 10:09 am

In his more than 20-year political career, Colorado 6th District Republican Congressman Mike Cofffman has never lost an election. Before heading to Capitol Hill, he was a state representative and senator, then state treasurer and then briefly secretary of state. Among insiders, it has been accepted as a given that Coffman is planning to take a run in 2014 at Democratic U.S. Senator Mark Udall’s seat. Any future Coffman political plans, however, were complicated Thursday, when Denver District Judge Robert Hyatt put the 6th District GOP stronghold into play by paring off large swaths of mostly white suburbs south of Denver and including more urban, working-class and Latino regions to the north.

Romanoff: Supporting Bennet over Buck ‘an easy call’ for Democrats

By | 08.13.10 | 8:14 am

DENVER — Colorado Democratic leaders and national party officials united Thursday on the steps of the Colorado capitol to try to heal the wounds created in what many saw as a bloody Democratic primary race. Sen.

On Tuesday Sen. Michael Bennet defeated Andrew Romanoff 54 percent -46 percent in the race for the Democratic primary bucking the trend of anti-incumbency that has ignited the political field this year. Still, despite a campaign that was supported by what Romanoff’s deputy campaign manager, Berrick Abramson, called a “Washington machine,” Bennet’s camp will be up against Republican tea-party candidate Ken Buck in the upcoming election. Though Buck is no stranger to insider politics, he has run on a platform many disenfranchised Republicans are eager to hear and vote for. Bennet’s camp said they would combat this by sticking to their guns and offering positive message.
