Ranking and Analysis
from Amy Walter and Quinn McCord of the Hotline Race Ranking: 3

Republicans had better hope Bob Schaffer doesn't lose worse than the 57%-40% margin by which they lost the governor's race in 2006. They just can't afford to have recruitment problems in a state like Colorado, with Senate and gubernatorial races coming up in 2010.
