The Race to November Continues

The November elections are quickly approaching, with 34 primary elections completed and 16 to go. Colorado and Connecticut were front and center this week as they hosted primaries on Tuesday. Neither state brought many surprises, but Republican nominee Cory Gardner ran unopposed in the primary for Colorado's 4th District and is one of the first candidates inducted into the National Republican Congressional Committee's "Young Guns" program. He will face Democrat Rep. Betsy Markey. Colorado's one term Sen. Michael Bennett (D) will face Weld City, Colorado's District Attorney Ken Buck in a "toss-up" race. Meanwhile, in Connecticut, Republican Linda McMahon will face Attorney General Richard Blumenthal (D) for Senator Chris Dodd's (D) seat. Connecticut State Senator Sam Caligiuri (R) will challenge incumbent Chris Murphy (D) in November for what could be called Connecticut's most vulnerable seat.
