I despise this. It's unacceptable in most states (except very small states) that congressional districts are drawn in such a way that one party holds every House seat for that state. It's a disaster for the nation.

I wonder if Marx has really raised as much as he says. I think that Weiser is doing a better job than Bennet in appealing to the base and Bennet's edge in outside-of-Colorado money won't be very helpful. As I often say, in politics you don't have to have the most money; you just have to have enough money. And Bennet getting a bunch of money from Michael Bloomberg represents precisely 0 votes in Colorado. (I don't mean he can't influence people by spending that money; instead, I mean that if Phil gets a $20 donation from a Coloradan and Bennet gets a million from Bloomberg, Phil has directly one more vote than Bennet.
