In Colorado, both parties face big races today. Among the Democrats, former House Speaker Andrew Romanoff is challenging incumbent Michael Bennett, who took Ken Salazar's seat after Pres. Obama made him Secretary of the Interior. The most recent surveys show Bennett with a lead of 3 to 6 points.
The race among the Republican challengers Jane Norton and Ken Buck has been a see-saw since March, with the opponents trading leads every 60 days. At present, Norton is ahead by just two points, according to the Democratic polling company, PPP.
In Connecticut, former Representative Rob Simmons is 22 points behind former WWE CEO Linda McMahon (28-50). With more money than Simmons, McMahon's spring TV blitz plastered her name over the air. Seeing his 10-point lead at the beginning of 2010 evaporate, Simmons suspended his campaign after the state convention endorsed McMahon, but re-entered the race in last month. The winner will face Democrat Richard Blumenthal, who has been Connecticut's Attorney General for almost two decades.
My predictions: In CO, Bennett wins by 3-5 points, as does Norton. In CT, McMahon trounces Simmons, but it may not be enough to beat Blumenthal in three months.
