Hudak will resign seat to end recall threat, hold Democrats’ Senate majority [View all]

Hudak did what was in the best interests of the Colorado Democratic Party.

So take a big picture gander at what has just happened.

The gun radicals have huffed-and-puffed and stewed and steamed -- to what end?

Democrats still control the Colorado state senate; there will be no change to any of the new gun safety laws (there wouldn't have been anyway); the voters have seen just how radical these gun radicals are and just how far they will bully to get what they want; and term-limited Hudak is now a heroic political martyr to Democrats, liberals, progressives and moderates (i.e., the majority of voters in this state).

Frankly, the recall radicals look pretty silly today.

Alas in the end it all boils down to this (apologies to the bard): "It was a recall run by idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
