The latest early-voting numbers from Colorado suggest an advantage for Republican Rep. Cory Gardner in his race to unseat incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Udall. Nate Cohen of the New York Times writes:
Colorado update: 1,586,226 votes counted, R 39.7, D 32.2

Those figures include a sizable 36706 votes from Denver/Boulder out of the 209303 received so far today

Today's pace wouldn't get Dems where they want to be. Another 500,000 ballots at this pace would yield R+6.6 at 2.086m votes.

As for predictions, however, Cory Gardner’s campaign manager Chris Hansen will have none of that:
@JohnEkdahl no predictions. Don't screw with the campaign gods, Ekdahl

Exactly. Go vote and put this one away, Colorado!
