DeMint joins Buck in bucking Republican establishment candidates
DENVER--Ken Buck was joined by Sen. Jim DeMint today as he hosted a hotdog hoedown for both grass-roots and establishment supporters. DeMint said he has been lonely in Washington but saw a wave of anti-establishment choices, like Buck, rising to the top in this election. Continuing to lash out against characterizations of extremism Buck said that his brand of extremism would be to stand with DeMint in the Senate and champion free market values. Democratic Party Chair Pat Waak said that was the more or less the extremism they are talking about.
