This is a nightmare situation for Dems. For one thing, Romanoff has more personal magnetism than Bennet, who radiates a sort of bland competence rather than anything approaching charisma. At a more basic level, though, the two of them are quite similar: Joe Biden could describe them both as being articulate and bright and clean and nice looking. As such, the casual voter might have difficulty telling them apart, let alone getting fired up about either, thereby creating a mixture of confusion and indifference that can be death at the ballot box. If there's a scenario capable of giving down-at-the-mouth Republicans hope all is not lost, that's it.
Note: The first version of this blog stated that Scott McInnis was running for the Senate. He is not; he's a candidate for the governership. I regret the brian fart.
