Wadhams & Waak on the outcome of the Colorado election

On the eve of a midterm election, the heads of both the Colorado Republican and Democrat parties were optimistic that today’s vote would go their way.

Colorado Republican Party chair Dick Wadhams is convinced that Republicans in Colorado will win three U.S. House races and take the majority in the legislature.

“We have the momentum,” he said.

Colorado Democrat Party Chair Pat Waak spent yesterday appearing with Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., to help people canvass. She was “cautiously optimistic” that today’s voting would benefit Democrats, and was confident about the Democrat candidates’ chances in the gubernatorial and U.S. Senate race. However, Waak was concerned about several of the congressional contests and had “no clue” about some of the other races.

Wadhams compared Waak’s confidence that Bennet would beat Buck in the U.S. Senate race to “whistling past the graveyard.”    – More -
