I know the Democrats aren't blameless for this loss, but the enormity of GOP deception with the aid of the Supreme Court has gotten us here today. Let's quit deluding ourselves that Democrats lost this. In Colorado, Udall should have won. Our media elected Gardner and nearly elected Boo Pray. Once the Denver Post proclaimed Udall as a one issue candidate, he was even though he wasn't. They let Gardner weasel his way though sponsorship of a personhood bill and didn't call him on anything else.
