Rape case haunts Buck in Colo. (audio has him saying rape was a "case of buyer's remorse")
A Colorado woman who claims she was raped five years ago has released a taped conversation between her and Republican Senate candidate Ken Buck, the Weld County district attorney, that she says proves he tried to blame her for the episode.

The secret recording by the victim, provided to The Colorado Independent, reveals Buck telling the woman the details appeared to show she consented to the sexual encounter, though he admits the woman " never said the word yes."

The recording stems from a December 2005 case where a woman alleged she was raped while drunk by a former lover whom she had invited over. Buck declined to prosecute the man, telling the Greeley Tribune in 2006 that "a jury could very well conclude that this is a case of buyer's remorse."

6. In a sane country, almost all pubs running for Congress would have a hard time getting 30% of the
vote. ;)
