Yes the 2nd is tough territory for Republicans.

Colorado has 2 Democrat strongholds - Downtown Denver (CO - 1ST) and Boulder (CO - 2nd). All other districts are Republican territory if not Republican strongholds.

The 2nd was Democrat for 6 terms prior to Udall taking over in 1996 (If memory serves). In short it has been Democrat for a long time. I believe they hold a 20K voter registration edge. However, with redistricting still up in the air, this may change.

Also, there have been changes to the State's demographics with more people moving into the area. Combined with the Presidential coat tail effect, there might just be a chance to win the district.

Ok, have to make a change here. We need a scorecard to keep up in Colorado these days.

I just got a breaking news announcement within the last 5 minutes that Udall has dropped out and will support Salazar instead.

Too bad. I really wanted to get rid of Udall.
