HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. — The quiet murmur of several dozen Republican activists crammed in a small office in this Denver suburb was broken Saturday morning by a jocular cry: “Hey, everybody, what’s going on?”
Rep. Cory Gardner, the party’s Senate candidate — and its best shot at breaking a decade-long losing streak in top Colorado races — burst into the room wearing a blue-checkered work shirt and jeans, and immediately began shaking hands and posing for pictures.
Rick Murray, 69, a financial broker, shook his head in admiration. “You see enthusiasm like that out of anybody else?” he said.
It’s an enthusiasm that’s mounting as Republicans watch public polls breaking their way in the final days of a hard-fought election season in this perennial swing state. Gardner has led the Democratic incumbent, Sen. Mark Udall, in public polls in recent weeks. The party’s gubernatorial nominee, former Rep. Bob Beauprez, has run neck-and-neck with the incumbent Democratic governor, John Hickenlooper.
“Republican ballots are pouring in in huge numbers,” Beauprez told activists Saturday. “Advantage us. But now is not the time to be complacent.”

Another week of surge of R ballots will be very difficult for the Dems to overcome.
Oh the ballots returned at this point is more than the 2012 presidential election.
You can look at all the ballots returned by Colorado county here in spread sheet form.
In EL PASO County it's Dems 13,607, Repubs 36,005, Independent 14,662 Total = 65,149 The R ballot count in this county offsets Dem ballots in Denver and Boulder counties. ;-)
I certainly hope they are actually being sent back in by the Republican voters themselves and weren’t those found by others and marked and sent in on their behalf...
These people should keep their mouths shut I think.
The Pubbies will need at least a 10 point spread in order to fend off the massive vote fraud by the Left and ensure an uncontested victory.
The information is public knowledge. Every county reports ballots returned about every 2 to 3 days to the state secretary.
I am hoping that you’re wrong.
If the CO GOP has gotten their SH*T together to finally counteract the professional left, there is hope for anywhere!
Not if the indy voters are too busy smoking weed to care about going to vote.
SMOKIN!
Orange County in CA is nowhere as large as El Paso.
Its a good sign - Democratic turnout is way off compared to 2012.
People just loathe Obama here. If he was walking on water, Udall and Hickenlooper would have nothing to worry about.
They’re just tied to a deeply unpopular President.
If we weren’t fighting an epidemic of VOTE FRAUD, I’d feel better.
Between ballot harvesting, too many ballots being sent to people who have long since moved or died, same day voter registration....
Read up on the independent movie "Rocky Mountain Heist" narrated by Michelle Malkin. CO has completed succumbed to the Rats, it was a long-term project by the Left and it's spreading to TX and other red states as well.
Gardner doesn't stand a chance. Massive vote fraud, CA kooks, and left-wing billionaires will see to it.
Bingo!!!!!!!
Got to send mine in...
Democratic candidates have ignored Obama and have resorted to the old playbook in defeating Republicans: Bring up any whiff of scandal, ties to corporations, and use phony pocketbook issues such as the minimum-wage to alienate the conservative base from them.
Meanwhile, Republicans are simply bashing Obama, without attacking what Obama is doing specifically, or defining themselves, or promoting their own agenda.
This is a rerun of 2012, when we all thought Romney was going to win in a cakewalk.
Ahem, how about doing your best to help the RATs with their GOTV effort? /s
That’s not quite true.
The push for gun control in CO using CA and NY $$$ has woke up many passive voters.
It remains to be seen if the CO GOP will continue as strong as it is now.
Take your optimism elsewhere.
I don’t expect a rout.
In 2012, we had a massive Democratic turnout and of course Obama was still popular enough despite his problems that he could comfortably win re-election.
As for the polls, the undecideds generally don’t make up their minds until the weekend before the election. In 2012, they broke for Obama.
This year, they seem to be going GOP.
