| Description | U.S. senatorial candidate Jane Norton shocked members of her own party when she announced Tuesday she would try to petition onto the Republican Party primary ballot in August.
In an even more surprising move, Norton said she was abandoning the nomination process because of Democratic U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, and not because her lead GOP challenger, Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck, has been doing better than she in the assembly process.
The announcement and her reasons for it left party members dumbfounded.
Colorado GOP Chairman Dick Wadhams said it's a mistake for candidates to alienate party activists who participate in the nominating process, particularly this year when there are so many new people getting involved. |
