U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet will be elected to the U.S. Senate after pulling ahead of challenger Ken Buck this morning.

Long after most Coloradans — including the candidates and their supporters — had gone to bed, returns from Denver and Boulder moved Bennet past Buck and into the lead, 47.5 percent to 47.0 percent.

A recount would be required if the difference between the two candidates' vote totals is less than one-half of 1 percent of the leading candidate's vote total, or about 3,900 votes based on current tallies.

Bennet leads by nearly 7,000 votes.

2. Awesome!

Now, if Murray can just pull through in Washington, we'll have a 53-47 Senate majority! I said last week that the five-state firewall included California, Washington, Nevada, Illinois, and West Virginia. Illinois didn't work out, but Colorado made up for it!
