Rachel Maddow on Senate election in Colorado

Rachel did a great segment tonite on Republican Senate Candidate Keyser's refusing to address the forged signatures on his petitions to get on the ballot. Her point was that Michael Bennet's Senate seat is almost the only one in the nation at high risk and may decide whether the Senate can flip to the Democrats. I know many Colorado progressives have never been happy with Bennet and wish we had a Senator like Bernie but we need to work to keep Bennet in that seat. If we elect a Dem president she or he will badly need Bennet who almost always votes with the Dems to pass any of the policies we support.

Because a paltry 72,000 Sanders supporters voted vs the almost Million who voted for Sen. Bennett in a midterm year? Is it the intention of the Bernie Or Bust crowd to make Colorado a Red State again with two GOP senators?

Had there been a primary in CO - Sanders would have lost.
Low turnout in caucus states was his ace in the hole.
