Boebert had switched districts after Buck announced his impending retirement to avoid a stiff challenge from Democrat Adam Frisch in the 3rd district, but Buck’s immediate departure will set up a special election in which the state Republican and Democratic parties will choose a nominee – and there’s no guarantee they’ll pick the controversial Boebert.
Further complicating matters, Boebert would have to resign her seat in the 3rd district to run in that special election because Colorado law prohibits a candidate from running for more than one office at a time, and her resignation would set up yet another U.S. House special election before the end of the year.
Could end her career a few months earlier than expected.
She’s not going to win her primary in the 3rd district, and wouldn’t win the special election. Maybe someone out there thinks she can climb in the polls between now and the voting, but I don’t.
She’ll be climbing poles alright.

Yeah she already came in 5th in a straw poll after a debate in January and 3rd in one a few days ago. Those aren’t the most scientific polls, but the response to her changing districts wasn’t positive, and she’s not getting much positive coverage locally. I can’t imagine her being the eventual candidate, regardless of what Ken Buck does.
