PPD projects Republican Cory Gardner will win the Colorado Senate race against incumbent Democrat Mark Udall, giving the GOP their fourth pickup. The race was rated Likely Republican on PPD’s 2014 Senate Map Predictions model, and the Republican was surprisingly endorsed by the liberal Denver Post.
The Post called Udall Senator Uterus, for running a one-issue campaign about abortion. It backfired. Cory Gardner was an exceptional candidate that ran, perhaps, the best campaign in the country.
He carried independents by roughly 10 points, and flipped the Denver and Colorado Springs suburbs back to Republican territory handedly.
