Kinda sorta, anyway. I live in the district where Cory Gardner swapped races with Ken Buck. Gardner is now going against Mark Udall for that Senate seat. Buck, on national television, equated being gay with being alcoholic; he also refused to prosecute a rape case claiming that the victim was merely suffering from 'buyer's remorse' (nevermind that the rapist confessed), and he got spanked by the state supreme court for raiding a tax prep office to browse through thousands of files in an illegal hunt for undocumented immigrants. Buck also failed against Sen.Michael Bennet last time, and is being challenged in the primary by a carpetbagger, a secessionist, and a theoxenophobe.

We have Vic Meyers, a terrific candidate for the congressional seat, but we're swimming upstream against a roiling river of tea.
