Rasmussen strikes quickly to check out potential matchups between Republican ex-Rep. Scott McInnis and possible Democratic candidates, now that Gov. Bill Ritter has decided not to run for re-election. They find that Denver mayor John Hickenlooper fares the best of the three options, while former House speaker (and current Senate primary candidate, where he's making no headway against the eminently beatable Michael Bennet) Andrew Romanoff does the worst.
You may notice the very strange configuration of John (or Ken?) Salazar above. That's because, depending on where you look, Rasmussen is listing both names. Their article says Ken (the Interior Sec. and former Senator), which would make more sense, as his interest in the race has been loud and public, but the toplines page and the Pollster.com writeup say John (the CO-03 Rep.), which would make much less sense, as he not only hasn't expressed interest in the race but has been speaking on his brother's behalf. Rasmussen Reports? You decide.
