Here in Colorado's new 8th CD we have excellent Dems running for the seat, Tedesco and Caraveo. Both bring much, but pediatrician Yadiro Caraveo has a bit of an edge, and there's no way in hell she would have voted against the bill. In Buck's CD4 the magats are painted into the landscape, in spite of the candidacy of Dem Ike McCorkle who outdistances Buck in smarts, record, decency, integrity, ethics, sense and humanity; I won't miss being stuck with Buck. There are GOPers wanting the new seat, but at this point the Dems are slightly favored. We have our work cut out for us, but losing Buck is providing a bit of energy to our efforts.
