DENVER-- U.S. Senate candidate Ken Buck rallied thousands of Tea Party grassroots conservatives at the Denver capitol today, coming at the height of a long roster of speakers and receiving a warm reception from the crowd. Picking up on the patriot theme and no doubt delighting members of the crowd dressed in 18th-century patriot and minutemen outfits, Buck likened conservative activists and candidates this year to Paul Revere, the colonial figure who signaled the arrival of the British and the start of the Revolutionary War.
