That is contradictory. Colorado Springs isn't in play! CSprings is part of El Paso County and usually goes 65%-70% for Republicans. I expect that percentage range to hold in 2008.
Bob Loevy is a local college Professor of Political Science and TV analyst here in the Springs. He stated the other day that statewide, polls always underestimate Republicans by 4% every election. IOW, add 4% to the current numbers for McCain and Bob Shaffer if you want to get closer to the actual final results.
RM, the Springs IS in play. Why do you think the candidates have spent so much time here if it isn’t? Don’t delude yourself.
