Buck is Colorado’s Newest Congressman with 65% Win

Ken Buck was never Todd Akin, Richard Mourdock, Christine O’Donnell or Sharron Angle. He made some mistakes in 2010 that were effectively used by Democrats to defeat him in a year he should have won. But, Buck was not as extreme as those he has been tossed in with over the last four years.

He would have probably not been an effective senate candidate because of that image, but due to some good fortune and the good sense to trade positions with Cory Gardner, he is now likely a congressman for a very long time.
