Who’s next in the 3rd CD?
With word leaking out that Congressman John Salazar, D-Colo., could become Agriculture Secretary Salazar, let the speculation about his successor begin!
Per Colorado Revised Statutes 1-2-202, Gov. Bill Ritter will set a date for a vacant election to fill the 3rd Congressional District seat prior to the 2010 general election.
But who would be the frontrunners in such a race? Political Notebook has singled out a series of pols on both sides of the aisle. Let’s see who you think would be the top contender on each side of the aisle.

If we’ve left someone out of either party’s frontrunners list, the comments section awaits your patronage.
Note to the reader: All of the politicos mentioned in the above surveys were picked after consulting with local armchair quarterbacks. None of the above pols have announced their candidacies. Just to be clear, this all is purely speculative and nonscientific.

I’m glad to see that bernie is the frontrunner. After all, it is the responsibility of those in government to come up with some sort of “bail out” for poor old bernie. What’s he supposed to do?! Get a real job like the rest of us? Surely not.
