text: Hillary ran for President. Cory ran for the US Senate.  Hillary lost her race, and Cory won his.  He is a Republican Senator beholden to the Republican voters that elected him, just as Bennett is beholden to the Democrats who elected him.  Bennett doesn't try very hard to make Republicans happy, and Gardner doesn't try too hard to make Democrats happy.  If you need 2 Democrat Senators again....vote them in!
