Hutchinson lost support for divorcing his wife and marrying a young staffer.
In 2008, Pryor-D did not get a Republican challenger- if Huckabee-D had ran in 2008, Pryor would have lost.
In CO- Gardner-R got elected in a 2014 Republican wave by a narrow margin against a Democratic incumbent that ran a one issue campaign.
Gardner-R would lose re-election to Hickenlooper, 3 of the 4 Democratic US House member(Neguse,Crow,or Perlmutter-D).
It would have make sense if Jason Crow ran for the US Senate and Andrew Romanoff ran for the CO-6 US House District. Crow got elected to the US House from CO-6 by unseating a Republican incumbent Mike Coffman by a double digit margin.
