I think that 2014 will be a good year for the Colorado GOP, but I said that in 2010 and they blew it. (Thanks Dan Maes!) I think the Democrats infuriated many independents and pro-gun Democratic voters by pushing their STUPID and UNCONSTITUTIONAL gun-control legislation in 2013. I hope that Bob Beauprez and Cory Gardner can ride the Republican tidal way to victory. If not, WE ARE COMPLETELY SCREWED here in Colorado./rwa

They should run on a platform of banning pot.

> fiscally conservative but socially moderate

In other words, another bloody RINO.

No thanks.

Chickenpooper blew it. I think the sheriffs are more popular than the demoRATS. Two recalled and one forced into resigning rats in the state are just a start. The demorats can not win on the truth.

DENVER—Mario Nicolais is the kind of candidate who could help the Republican Party win back the suburban voters it has lost.

And he is exactly the kind of candidate we conservatives DON’T want. I would rather see a big spending democRat win than this Fruit Loop.

He's fiscally conservative but socially moderate, a member of the NRA but also a founder of a Republican group that champions gay rights.

Might as well be a Democrat if he is liberal on social issues, because being liberal o socialist items means he will vote with democrats to increase social spending.

As for being supportive of the NRA, there are pro NRA Democrats in Congress now, but but it sure never made a difference when anti-gun legislation was passed by the Democrats.

So who cares if he wins or the Democrat wins. Same person, different label is all.

Hispanics make up 23 percent of his state Senate district, and Nicolais knows that Republicans .....

Nicolais lost in the Republican primary to businessman Tony Sanchez, a tea-party-aligned opponent.

Gee, bet none of those Hispanics would vote for a guy named 'Sanchez'; NOT!

Social leftists cannot be fiscal Conservatives, period. This dude is a Democrat.

I think Cory is a great candidate. It looks like Udall thinks pro-abortion ads can re-elect him, which has never worked before.

Hick is imploding, so I have high hopes for Beauprez as well.

Colo went blue scary fast.

From +5 Bush in 2004 to +5 Baraq in 2012.

As much chance as NH....slim.

Colorado became a lost cause after it was flooded with illegal aliens from Mexico and California.

Hispanics make up 23 percent of his state Senate district ...

How many of them are here legally?

Fresh perspectives are always useful.
