The candidates have blasted each other as hypocritical, untrustworthy agents of reform. It's a charge that may be particularly damning for congressional candidates this year.
Let's be honest, when Gardner decided a few months ago to run for Senate, the biggest question about GOP leadership was whether Boehner was going to survive as Speaker, not whether Cantor was going to get knocked off in a 70,000 vote primary.
At what was billed a "pro-Israel" breakfast, sponsored by former Sen. Bill Armstrong and former Gov. Bill Owens, Cantor decried what he called the Obama administration's inaction on Syria.
He pre-launches a presidential bid with a bold leadership position: He says he's not sure climate change is real and it doesn't make economic sense to do anything about it if it were real.
Immigration-policy-reform organizer Rudy Lopez, and local faith, labor and business leaders see an opening with Colo. Rep. Mike Coffman. They may well be disappointed.
