Social scientists, say Colorado boosters, have plausible metrics identifying their state as the happiest and healthiest state, the former quality perhaps producing the latter. Or the other way around. Or maybe the tangle of causation cannot be unwoven. Be that as it may, 300 days of sunshine this Mile High City is practically cheek-by-jowl with the sun entice people into outdoor activities that help the state have chubby America's lowest obesity rate.
Among the least happy and healthy Colorado cohorts is the Republican Party, which is less svelte than emaciated. This state is in many ways a glimpse of the nation's future, so when national Republicans are done congratulating themselves on having lost only the most important half of what the Constitution's Framers considered the most important branch Congress is accorded Article I for a reason they should study Colorado's changing tint, from purple toward blue.
When asked whether his party's rout of Republicans on Nov. 6 indicated that many voters recoiled when they saw "R" next to a candidate's name, Gov.-elect Jared Polis demurs, saying that what they effectively saw was: "T." Polis, and many of the Democratic candidates who will be in lopsided majorities in both chambers of the next state legislature, did not need much more help than Donald Trump. This flight from the president's party matters as a national portent because Denver and its suburbs, which undulate east toward the plains and west toward the mountains, contain 50 percent of the electorate. Eighty percent is in the booming urbanization of the Front Range from Fort Collins and Greeley down to Colorado Springs and Pueblo.
Also, Colorado's population has a lower median age than those of 38 states, and its Hispanic percentage, 21, is the nation's seventh largest. The state ranks second behind...

When you turn blue, George.................
Wasn’t that many years ago when Will was predicting the permanent Republican majority.
Feel sorry for Will.
He is increasingly senile, and nobody pays any attention to him any more. It’s tough being a nobody.
As an atheist nearing death, he fears what lies ahead for him, so let’s give him a little space to babble on.
George Will should check the tint on his job as a ‘chair filler’ on ‘Hardboiled’ with Chris Matthews. That is just one step up from sleeping under a bridge.
The panty waist milque toast forgets that elitist leftists moved into the state
George Will should study my ass
Lefty loons moving to Colorado for the legal 420 and getting gift cards to the local pot shops for showing up at the polls at the correct time.
I love visiting the Springs and Estes Park. If I moved it would be to a small community that I could afford. (not sure there is any)
As if George Will gave a damn. Will is a third rate baseball reporter. He’s got an opinion on everything political, but so do I. So, What!
I live in Denver and never heard of “Go Topless Day.” Something you went looking for?
All this purple talk is a crappy psy-op. I’ve never seen a purple candidate win a seat.
We’re concerned about the Texas change in tint.
We should study it, but not look to George Will for solutions.
Confucius say: May a line drive foul ball hit George Will in his nut sack.
Liberals promise everything and are for everything yet deliver nothing....not that it matters.
As Rush says....you can't beat Santa Clause. Hard to beat a politician promising you can play with fire and not get burned.
Happened across by accident.

We have. People from Kalifornica are moving in mass to Colorado. They screwed up the place, big time.
You should be, every day more anchor babies turn 18 and register to vote.
Yup. Californication. Really not much more complicated than that.
Go watch some baseball, George, your time as a pundit is up.
Can somebody explain to me, just why this tedious aging would-be dandy ever represented anything deemed conservative? He’s a total crashing bore of a grandiose windbag.
Yeah losing 40 seats is no big deal. A drop in the bucket. Nothing to see here. Just move on.
