Coffman Out; Bennet’s Good Fortune

Congressman Mike Coffman’s decision to seek re-election to his 6th Congressional seat is bad news for Democrats wanting to pick up a House seat, but very good news for Senator Michael Bennet.

Coffman was the only identified Republican in the state as of today that could attract the $50 million needed for a challenge to Bennet. The national party and Washington interests were also likely to try to clear the field for Coffman. Speculation will start quickly, but Republicans are now left with a primary more than a year away peopled by lesser known politicians.
