DENVER - Senate candidate Ken Buck (R-Colorado) says he's still "scratching his head" and has "no idea" how he lost last week to Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colorado).


In his first on-camera interview since Election Day, Buck says the overriding question remains: "Why did the Republican wave go over Colorado?"

A national surge propelled Republicans to control the U.S. House of Representatives, including two seats from Colorado, and gains in the U.S. Senate, but Buck lost the country's closest race to Bennet, by roughly 12,000 votes.

Buck says he conceded to Bennet the day after the election because waiting for all the votes to be counted would not have changed the outcome.

2. calling rape accusation 'buyer's remorse'. lost the women big time

[demosincebirth]

4. ...and lost by only 12000 votes. I don't think so

[Liberal_in_LA]

5. look at the gender breakdown of the vote

[Canuckistanian]

8. I hear that women don't like to be blamed for their own rapes

That may have had something to do with Buck's loss.

Call me crazy.

[msongs]

3. ummm, you lost because you had fewer votes lol nt

[wilt the stilt]

6. education

Denver and the surrounding area ranks 5th in college graduates and that is where you lost big. College graduates think you were a closed minded jerk.

[Yeahyeah]

7. Colorado likes big balls yo.

Thought it was obvious.

[Demonaut]

9. buck is a tool

Mike Rosen, our local beckstanian, really pushed for Tancredo....so very glad that douchebag lost

that the entire state isn't like Weld County's swaggering republican cluster. And thank God for that!

[UrbScotty]

13. How did you lose? BY GETTING FEWER VOTES!!!

I know, I know - Democracy's a pain sometimes. Like it was when the nation freely elected Obama as our President!

[Loudmxr]

16. As a part time consultant to electeds. That is reality. You are so gooood!

It doesn't matter how much money you spend. How good the ads are. How hard the volunteers work. If the votes aren't there.... you don't win. :shrug:

14. His votes > Your votes

Does that clear it up for you?

[LawnKorn]

17. Buck lost because the voters of Colorado correctly identified him as a liar and a wacko

The poll taken on November 2 was the only poll that counts.

[UrbScotty]

21. +1

[Thor_MN]

19. Conservatives have trouble distinguishing the few people that will talk to them and "Everybody"

They think their mindset represents the majority because everyone they talk to says the exact same thing. It never occurs to them that most people won't talk to them because they are close minded, hateful, fearful assholes.
