Good.

 

[MDFF2008]

Wonder if the Republicans will get Goldy Locks syndrome and reelect Hickenlooper.

 

[ryan_j]

I would really love to see chickenpooper get flushed.

 

[embermage]

I am from Colorado and still vote there (own a house there and it is my home of record), I sincerely hope we not only get rid of dickenlooper, but also take the Senate seat that is up right now as well.

I would love to see chicken pooper and udal get the axe.

If the republicans win, they need to repeal the gun control laws to not be seen as hypocrites!

The people of Colorado should demand it.

 

[MDFF2008]

A governor alone cannot repeal a law.

 

[Inigoes]

A governor alone cannot repeal a law.

He can call for it publicly.

 

[annihilation-time]

A governor alone cannot repeal a law.

True, but it can be part of his agenda.

Good, hope this trend continues nationally and Republicans clean house in 2014 and 2016. Time to get our rights back.

Don't count them chickens...

I haven't seen either party "restore" any rights the government has stolen!

GOP needs to avoid social/moral issues if it wants to win anywhere. e.g. marijuana, abortion

 

[aray]

Dunno much about the marijuana polls but most polls show abortion is not a losing issue. For example Gallup shows only 28% of the American public thinks abortion should be legal under all circumstances:

http://www.gallup.com/poll/1576/abortion.aspx

The rest (72%) think either it should be illegal under all circumstances (21%) or context-specific (e.g. pregnancy is a threat to the mother's life (self defense) etc.) (50%).

That same poll shows that people who self-describe themselves as pro-choice vs. pro-life: a decade ago it was almost 2 to 1, now those labels are pretty much tied.

Gallup is hardly a conservative polling organization, and we know how question selection/wording can greatly affect the poll results. The trends are not on the side of those favoring unrestricted abortion on demand.

 

[krucam]

Beauprez (R) & Hickenlooper (D) are now in a statistical dead heat.

I was in CO. This spring. It reminded me of Maryland, normal people in the country and lots of lib nut jobs in the larger populated areas.

 

[iH8DemLibz]

CO went 100 percent mail-in ballots this election.

And any idiot can walk into a polling place and ask for up to 10 blank ballots without having to show proof of who they are for and the reason for asking for them.

No chance for voter fraud there...

Wednesday can't get here fast enough.
