Pat Waak - a nonprofit director from Erie who is little-known in statewide political circles - narrowly edged out Gates in a final vote of 187 to 184 during Saturday's meeting of the Democratic State Central Committee.
Disturbing as this may seem for some, Colorado Dems were angry over what was a bossed primary in Colorado. The DSCC was complicit in this bossing for a couple of months, not even mentioning on their website that Miles existed. Being shut out of the process of selecting your party's nominee is a bitter pill to swallow, even in victory.
There might be a lesson in this for certain other state parties.
