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.

RINOs have taken over the Colorado Republican Party, and they are possibly going to lose in CD 7 and Ritter will probably beat RINO-In-Chief, Beauprez in the Governor's race.

Perhaps the Colorado Republican Party needs to start listening to the base and forget about supporting RINOs in Arizona.

In 2004 Governor Owens spent a great deal of time getting Thune elected and Colorado ended up losing a Senate seat when Salazar won.

There are a lot of frustrated Republicans in Colorado that feel the party has left them. I have Republican friends that may sit out this election. While I disagree with that approach, I do understand their frustration and anger.
