HAS BUCK BUCKLED? – AT 11:23 A.M. ET:  The Denver Post is calling the Colorado Senate race for incumbent Democrat Michael Bennet over Republican tea partier Ken Buck.

However, please be aware that no other major organization, to the best of our knowledge, is joining in the call.  If Buck does go down, however, he'll be the third major tea party candidate to be defeated in a race that the GOP could have won.  The others are Sharron Angle in Nevada and Christine O'Donnell in Delaware.  And if Joe Miller goes down in Alaska, as now expected, that will be four. 

Some serious thinking about candidate quality may well be in order.
