The FiveThirtyEight forecast had the race almost even at the beginning of September 2012, but had Democrats as an 80 percent favorite by the end of that month.
This year, however, has been characterized by what Charlie Cook calls “head fakes.” Just 10 days ago, Democrats had been benefiting from a string of good polls in Colorado.

So, my advise to people on both coasts is come ski and GO AWAY. And don’t bother sending money to our Democrat politicians either.
“Two Colorado state representatives were recalled form office and one was forced to resign so the democRATS could keep her seat. “
What about Gov. Chickenpooper? I have seen polling that he’s loosing his race as well.
Remember a few years back, during the last license plate redesign? The peoples' choice for the plate motto was Spend your money and leave!

But now we need to be more clear that we DON’T mean spend your money buying politicians.
