In the overarching race for control of the Senate, Senate Republicans just took a big hit. But the fact we're writing about what looks like one, very-likely missed opportunity for Senate Republicans to unseat a Senate Democrat underscores just how tight their margin of error is to keep control of the Senate this year. The irony is that for most of Colorado's Republican Senate race, Glenn was not considered a threat to the four other better-funded outsiders and establishment picks in the race. This is yet another break for Senate Democrats, who need to net four to five seats to wrest control of the Senate from Republicans. In other words, Senate Republicans are basically writing off Colorado.
