Colorado Democrat Senate Majority Leader John Morse concedes.
Colorado Democrats need a new senate leader. History was made tonight in Colorado as Democrat Senate Majority Leader John Morse was recalled for abridging Coloradans’s Second Amendment civil liberties. The tally is currently 52%-48%. According to Kelly Maher of Revealing Politics, Morse supporters need to “beat us two to one in remaining ballots.” Impossible.
It’s the first wave of legislative battles planned by citizens angry at state lawmakers who denied them a vote on their Second Amendment rights. As it stands now State Senator Angela Giron is narrowly ahead of her recall.
Morse conceded around 11:30 eastern time.
I’ve said this repeatedly: Colorado is ground zero for our gun rights. It is the litmus test for the country.
“Here’s the bottom line,” said Kurt Bardella, president and CEO of Endeavor Strategic Communications, which is consulting with the groups seeking to oust Morse and Giron. “What happens in one week will have significant implications for the overall debate on gun-control. … Lawmakers at every level of government see Colorado as a bellwether as to whether they can risk pursuing a more aggressive gun-control agenda.”
Maybe Morse can get a job with Michael Bloomberg’s anti-gun group. Colorado seems to be shifting from blue to purple.
Will develop with Giron results.
*UPDATE 1: Giron’s lead has flipped to a trail. 57%-43%
Yeah, I’m surprised. I actually thought she would survive, but she may do worse than Morse, who it looks like lost by 2%
Sounds about right. And the ‘racist’ lib he didn’t want to win the rat primary in NY won too.
lost by 2%?
Some are saying she lost with 60% against
I hear you, and your joy is palpable. We’re all with you even if we are not all from Colorado!
This is BIG! Nationally, this will rock some folks, we can bank that!
That’s Morse, but he’s conceded already.
Giron was the prize! Looks like Morse may go down too! Woot!
This will be noticed across the land, and we sure needed some good news.
“Send a contingent to New York to get voters behind a push to recall a few senators”
They can’t do that.
If he lost by only 2%, what are the chances he’ll get a recount? We know what can happen in that situation.
That's only if you count all the fraudulent votes though.
Women and children hurt the most
2% is way too close, if its close they can cheat it out
OMG, I set you off now.
I read somewhere that Weiner and Spitzer both lost their bids for office, too!
Just now noticed that something was added to my tagline. How can that happen????
I have no idea... are you sure you didn’t do that? Maybe a split personality? Having family problems? or maybe that is the split personality having family problems. lol.
