If true this is very bad news. CO-07 is one of the most-closely contested House elections out there this year and if the Rat is up 17 it's not good.
CO-07 Trendlines:
09/25 Survey USA ................. Perlmutter +17
09/25 Constituent Dynamics .... Perlmutter +2
08/20 Survey USA ................. PUSH

I was just about to post this. Definitely bad news in what was supposed to be a very close race, with perhaps only a slight advantage to the Dem. It's possible this could be an outlier, but the partisan breakdown of the poll matches well with the actual numbers in the district.
Colorado has been rather unfriendly to Republicans lately. It kinda makes me wonder if Musgrave is in trouble.

I participated in a opinion group last week with a dozen or so Republicans from Colorado district 7. The discussion leader was mostly interested in opinions on issues and TV ads for the Governor's race and CO-7. At the end, he polled those in the room and more than half said they would vote for Perlmutter. And all but one of those people were Republicans and all of them were more conservative than your average Joe (or Jill).
I am not sure why, but neither Beauprez nor O'Donnell have grabbed the average Republican. The Republicans are in deep trouble in Colorado.

Judging by your posts the Republicans will be shut out come November. Any particular reason for that?

Might be time to fire up the printer and break out the magnetic paper.

Ah, ok. I see where you're coming from. You're an "All is lost, let's go hang ourselves" poster.
No thanks. Defeatism is for losers.

O'Donnell doesn't strike me as an impressive candidate. This is his first campaign. Previously he was a policy wonk, hence his writings coming back to haunt his run.
