Colorado's Jon Keyser makes state GOP US Senate primary

Source: AP

DENVER (AP) — Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Jon Keyser will appear on his party's primary ballot after all, a Denver judge ruled Friday.

Keyser had challenged a finding by Colorado's top elections official that he didn't collect enough voter signatures to petition his way onto the June 28 primary ballot. District Court Judge Elizabeth Starrs agreed.

Friday's ruling revives a campaign that has struggled to separate Keyser from his rivals. Keyser was seen by the GOP's national leadership as a preferred candidate to take on Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet.

Keyser faces Jack Graham, a onetime Democrat and former Colorado State University athletic director, and Daryl Glenn, an El Paso County commissioner. Businessmen Robert Blaha and Ryan Frazier failed to qualify.

Bennet sits atop more than $7.6 million in cash as of March 31, far more than Keyser, who reported just $200,000. Graham had $942,000 after donating $1 million of his own. Glenn had just $11,000.

"Now that Republican Senators like Bennet..."

Your parties seem confused? Bennet is a Democratic party member.

My god, I confused Bennet with Dean Heller from Nevada. 'Scuse me while I fix that, and thank you!
