Udall Joins Senate Race in Colo.

DENVER - Hours after GOP Gov. Bill Owens said he would not run for the Senate, Democratic Rep. Mark Udall jumped into the race.

"I'm in the race. I'm packing my ropes and I'm getting ready to climb the mountain," Udall told The Associated Press Tuesday evening.

The decision by Udall, son of former Rep. Morris "Mo" Udall of Arizona, came after Owens said he had decided against a campaign because his family is more important than national office.

2. They are probably pretty good

We have to see who the final candidates are. Who are the republicans going to run? And will Ken Salazar, the democratic AG get in? It is thought that Udall wouldn't have gotten in unless Salazar wasn't going to run.

Udall may be too liberal for a statewide election in Colorado but I still think he has a pretty good shot at this seat.
