Democrat Andrew Romanoff wins U.S. Senate preference poll at Colorado caucuses
ERNEST LUNING, Colorado Politics | Mar 9, 2020 Updated 6 hrs ago Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Andrew Romanoff trounced the competition in Colorado’s precinct caucuses Saturday, winning 54.5% of the vote in a statewide preference poll that kicks off a series of steps to qualify for the June primary ballot.
The former state House speaker, a darling of the progressive left, defeated former two-term Gov. John Hickenlooper, who has the backing of national Democrats and scored 30.3% of the vote, according to partial, preliminary results from 60 of the state's 64 counties compiled Sunday night by the Colorado Democratic Party.
Three lesser-known candidates trailed. Scientist and educator Trish Zornio finished with 6.4%, former congressional candidate Stephany Rose Spaulding got 5.2%, and entrepreneur Erik Underwood, a long-shot candidate for governor two years ago, received 0.2%, with 3% of caucus-goers uncommitted in the non-binding vote conducted in more than 3,000 precincts across Colorado. . . .

This doesn't mean that Hickenlooper is out, but he is definitely in trouble. Good news for Cory Gardner.
