Gardner ranks near the bottom of republican senators in voter approval ratings: only 37% of republicans approve of him. Hell...only 37% of democrats disapprove of him.
... and that's the big problem with non-socialists in this state. We let the perfect become the enemy of good enough. There was a lot of wailing and teeth gnashing about the Establishment putting Ken Buck up because he wasn't conservative enough for some (a lot of?) people ... so instead, we got the Democrat who CLEARLY was less conservative. In the meantime, as much as the Leftists whine about someone not being liberal enough, they rally up and keep voting solidly for Hickenlooper, Bennet, etc.
