colorado's next senator would be a republican guy named ken buck. 17 of 18 polls, say democrat michael bennet would lose an ken buck would win. republican buck lost, democrat michael bennett won. and if you keep going back in time over the last few election cycles, joy there is something in overtime. in 1996, colorado looks like utah or idaho or texas. bob deal won for president if colorado against bill clinton in 1996. won the senate that year, too. they keep surprising everybody year after year for a solid decade now in which they have been shocking republicans by beating them for a decade and this year the national democratic party decided to try to bottle colorado democrats' secret cause. that sthor who beat ken buck in 2010, despite the polling to the contrary, democrats made him the head of the democratic senate campaign committee. he's the top democrat in charge of getting them elected all over the country. he's colorado senator michael bennet. we will be speaking with him in just a moment. in case the symbolism and the secret sauce strategy isn't clear enough, the democrats have also

it goes all the way back to the 2010 senate race with michael bennet that you mentioned earlier. in that race most of the polls indicated that bennet would lose. and if you looked at the internals in those polls they had very small samples only administered in english of latinos that were not representative. bennet ended up winning thanks in part to the large latino vote he received. colorado pollsters have had a problem getting the latino vote right. >> one of the things that's fascinating in the dynamic here, you basically had 2012 gop got crushed among latinos. people say we have to turn this around. we're seeing that not happen in this election at all. in fact, the candidates are running to the right. do you think that is going to hurt them two years from now or is no one going to remember what folks were saying about isis bringing ebola over the southern border two years from now? >> yeah, no, i think scott brown in particular is damaging the entire republican party with those comments. these are all on tape. they're in video, they're in their own campaign ads. they can't run

michael bennet running in colorado in 2010 did the same thing. mark begich has spent a lot of money trying to get people registered to vote in indigenous areas, but my guess is control of the united states senate is going to come down to a runoff in louisiana and quite possibly a run-off in georgia. >> let me ask you a quick follow-up question. you talk about democrats to get people who vote in presidential elections but not in midterms to come out and vote this time. you're also talking about trying to get the obama voters to vote when obama is not on the ballot. what do you think the likelihood of success is for the two of those? >> at the march begins you can move 1, 2, maybe 3%. the key is there are so many races that maybe that cloeshgs perhaps they can threat the needle and pull it off. it's a dilemma because so many of these states are red states when the president's not popular and still trying to turn out base democratic votes. there's some cognizant dissidence there. >> final thoughts, brit? >> a bunch of factors mentioned here that fav
