Democrat John Hickenlooper defeats Sen. Cory Gardner in Colorado, NBC News projects
By David K. Li
Democrat John Hickenlooper, Colorados former governor, has picked off incumbent GOP Sen. Cory Gardner, NBC News projects. Hickenloopers victory is the outcome Democrats were counting on in the partys fight to claim the Senate majority from Republicans.
In the months before Election Day, polls consistently showed Hickenlooper ahead in once purple, now blue-leaning Colorado to the point where a major Democratic group, Senate Majority PAC, canceled a $1.2 million ad buy with two-and-a-half weeks to go, counting the seat as a win.
GOP campaign groups spent only nominally in the state, virtually abandoning Gardner, one of most vulnerable Republican incumbents of this cycle.
There is no reason for either side to put another dime into this state, David Flaherty, a GOP pollster from Colorado, told The Denver Post in early October. "It's over."

OP
I can't tell you how long I've wanted to see this. I saved a Gardner flier to burn later.

I was a lifetime resident of Colorado until my wife's health required us to move.
