As I once overheard during a Wyoming/Colorado State football game "Go hunt in your own damn state!" ;)
But maybe I'm not as convinced that CO's that blue. Is it to the point now where Boulder, Denver, and the lib enclave ski resort towns (Aspen, Vail, etc.) are running the state the way Chicago and Cook Co. runs Illinois?
Don't forget starting in the '90s, up to 100,000 Californians were leaving the state each year. They fled mostly to Oregon, Washington State, Arizona and of course Colorado.
Many urban liberals , who messed up their former state, have moved to Colorado. They ( like Jeff Hawn and friends ) ignore and defy our tradtional laws.
Plus the many illegals...
Second, special interest money from political activists like Jon and Patricia Stryker ( siblings ) are known for giving millions of dollars to Democratic causes in Michigan and now Colorado. The Gill Foundation is the nation’s largest funder focusing primarily on lesbian, ... works with Soros, Media Matters, and other left wing groups.
But we are pushing back some.
Colorado for Equal Rights, led by 20-year-old Kristi Burton is one example.
Ritter has been making a mess and the unions may motivate the independents to join us.
The main problem still is that we are often out spent. For example, Bob Schaffer needs more money.
In fact, the Gov decided to “freeze” the tax rates for property at the height of the market. This was in effect a tax increase because the law said that taxes should have gone down. A recent decision by a Colorado state judge stated that was the same as a tax increase and Tabor says that tax increases require voter approval.
Gov has appealed to the State Supreme court which is stacked 7 to 2 in favor of the Dems.
