Colorado senate race is a dead heat

A Rasmussen poll recently released show an extremely close senate race in Colorado. Incumbent Senator Mark Udall holds a 1 percentage point lead over his Tea Party backed challenger, Rep. Cory Gardner. Readers will remember that Colorado was viewed as a safe senate seat for Democrats until  the Obamacare rollout and Gardner's adroit maneuvering wherein he managed to clear the primary field while winning endorsements from most of his rivals. The poll gives Udall 43% to Gardner's 42% with 9 % undecided.
Tea Party favorite in the 2010 senate race Ken Buck was one of those who withdrew from the race in favor of Gardner. He quickly shifted to the race for the open seat in the state's 4th congressional where he should easily win.
