It’s been several months since our last poll, and obviously a lot has changed — but the point of this poll has not.
Once again, we want to know which of the various candidates for major office that you consider to be the biggest LOCK for 2010 (of those who have credible opponents, that is, which leaves people like Jared Polis or Doug Lamborn off the list).
If you had to pick just one name below, and you had to bet everything you had that they would win the general election in 2010, who would you choose?
Remember — this isn’t a poll to choose who you want to win, or who you support, but to get your collective thoughts on which race is The Surest Thing in 2010.
*Note: We removed any names that failed to garner a single vote in the last poll, since obviously you couldn’t make a case that they are a “sure thing.”

and I think you can flip a coin between them.
then it would be Bernie by far. But if the McInnis campaign sticks with the self imposed disaster of the week mode, then I’ll agree with you.
because I think he really belongs in the can’t lose category but think Hick’s a pretty sure thing too.
I didn’t even think of him . . . but I think it would be very difficult for him to lose.
Tipton was a lousy campaigner last time, and I don’t expect to see him do much better this time.
Denver Broncos… Still Suck!
Romanoff as the surest thing? Really? Surest thing, huh? Seriously?
All four Senate candidates have votes.
Some may be more of a long shot than others, but to call any of them a sure thing is ridiculous.
Salazar and Buescher are such obvious picks, they don’t even have their opponents listed in the poll.
I see he now has two. I like Bennet’s chances myself but the question was who is the surest. We all like our own choices but how can anybody really think their right arms would be safer bet on either of them than on Salazar or Hick? Really?
Colorado was not polling in favor of HC Bill in Washington. And with hot Senate, Gubernatorial and Congressional races…nobody will have time to pump that much money into the AG race
Garnett is going to trounce Suthers. Suthers has no base, no volunteers, no excitement, no enthusiasm.
But the point is that Suther’s decision to throw a John C. Calhoun-style “nullification” fit has dragged him off his pedestal and thrown him into a tough fight in a year when showboating incumbents may not fare that well.
Barring any reason to vote otherwise, people will vote for him.
It remains to be seen whether his involvement in a lawsuit pisses off Real People.
As much as I hate to say this, you can’t win in Colorado without Real People.
I don’t know. Honestly. All I know is that we who read Pols are not Real People.
Real Americans as our favorite national propagandist would say?
Mini-people?
People of the corn?
People without a purpose?
Purple people eaters?
It’s already brought him a credible opponent who apparently can raise the money to make a real race out of this. And being compared to South Carolina in any context, as I just did to John C. Calhoun/Suthers . might be enough to make him take a hike on the appalachian trial!
As to incumbency, I doubt if one coloradan in ten could tell you who the incujmbent AG is. Try that test the next time you visit Starbucks. I think there are real people at Starbucks, though I’m not sure those funny names constitute real coffee.
2) nobody gets excited about the AG race very much
3) Those who oppose HC Bill are the majority in Colorado
4) He is already in office
5) It is a Republican year
