...what in the hell does it take to get rid of this piece of shit!
Would be any number of locations in AZ, or St. George Utah for me. Unfortunately 50% of the vote in my household says no heat.Quote:

Find solace in that plus the fact Hickypoopy will now hopefully meet stiff resistance in imparting the "D" ideals.
Hell, making him squirm and grumpy the next four years is worth it in a way.
LOL....wife just said Arizona has the more constitutional gun laws and no daylight savings thing going for them. I countered with Wyoming but after working winters outside up here warmth might be a nice change.Quote:

Looks like you guys are keeping Poopenlicker. That sucks.

I happened to catch Mike Coffmans victory speech last night and found it disturbing.
I don't live in district 6 but have always thought Coffman to be "alright" politician, but to do a debate in Spanish and also use Spanish in the speech turned me sour on him.

Do you really think so? Seriously, I doubt he cares he lost the senate. He will run his last two years by fiat with his pen & phone to pursue his liberal legacy because he thinks he's right, and the entire congress will huff and puff and stomp around and not do a damn thing to stop him. Well, that's my fear anyway. There is an article right on top of Drudge about full speed ahead on amnisty. That sucks. I hope the R's impeach the bastard now they have both houses.
Yep, Beuprez was in the lead until Boulder County votes were counted. I knew it was over then. If you look at the map of voting, there's a lot more red than blue but I guess the Front Range knows whats best for everyone. Of course there were those "wasted" votes for Harry Hempy (really?) and Matthew Hess (Libertarian) which, had they gone with Beuprez would have tilted the scale.Quote:

Just my opinion.
I actually think Coffman did what he felt he needed to do in order to win. I have no problem at all with him catering to HIS constituency, in fact if more politicians would do, and act like Coffman, we would not be in as big a mess.
OK guys, let take a step back for a minute.
In the good old days, while it was supposedly solid "Red" territory, CO had 16 years of consecutive "D" governorships with Lamm and Romer. How was that possible?
What are the final results of the State House?
Like you all, I am very disappointed with the Gov race, but running away won't fix the problem.
Just thinking out loud. What if the ballot allowed you to vote for a first choice and a second choice. Your second choice vote only counted in the case that your first choice was not in first or second place. We do it for hunting. :)
I believe you are referring to run-off voting. Nynco is always suggesting it.Quote:

Honestly, I cannot understand how DeGette got 160,000+ votes.. This just blows my mind. How are people not dying off by the dozens from natural selection?
Well, that kills it for me. :)Quote:

When do they do re-districting, only every 10 years?
That's really the only hope to make CO a balanced state once again, aside from some massive re-organization of the state .gov
Bright side is Kagan and pee your self Salazar lost.
Arizona has no water. A serious influx of illegals. It will be one of the battleground areas when LaRaza and Azteca decide to take it back. Combine that with it being a major highway for illegals coming here and points north.Quote:

Even when Lamb and Romer were Governor, the legislature was Republican. The state was a far more independent western frontier state back then at all levels of government regardless of party. The same kind of BS didn't ooze out of the capitol like it does now. Fortunately, the Owens years gave us state-wide shall issue concealed carry otherwise we wouldn't have that now. The really dangerous shit happens when the Dems have total control.Quote:

Until the R's recognize this D's will win big, or in Hicks case, win but not by a landslide.
Had Udall and D outside interest NOT played the WAR ON WOMEN, continually, Gardner would have lost.
I expect a major shift come 2016 from both parties when attack ads play.
As whole, CO did an overall good job of turning back from solid blue to a more historical split personality.
A Republican candidate unseated a relatively scandal free Democratic Senator in a statewide race. That is a big deal!
4 of the state's 7 seats in Congress are help by Republicans. That is a big deal!
Republicans re-took the State Senate and may retake the State House. That is big deal!
Republicans took all of the statewide support offices, like AG, SOS, and ST. That is big deal!
A moderately "damaged goods" Republican Candidate did not manage defeat the incumbent Democratic Governor is a very close race. Yes, it's bad, but not the end of the world.
If ALL of the above had gone or mostly D, then yes, we would be looking at potential permanent blue status. Even then, how many of you would have said that MA and IL would have elected new R governors last night?

Everyone keeps saying to vote R and then change from within yet the GOP keeps giving us candidates like Mittens Romney & Bob Beauprez I see no hope for the GOP. In elections they basically have no way to not win they find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. It just keeps getting worse and worse and worse. Pretty soon I'm going to decide that voting Democrat and trying to get them to warm up to the idea of the 2nd Amendment is the way to go. Seems just as likely at this point.
What a lot of you forget is. This wasn't a vote against the local people holding office. As much as it was a Vote Against Obama. Gardner and the outside interest ran ads showing Udalls voting record. His voting 100% of the time Lock Step with Obama. Udalls recording saying ISIS wasn't a threat, echoing Obama's JV mantra.
It happened to Bush II.
The down side for us, it opens the door on the D side to a very left of center candidate.
I don't think the GOP gave us Beauprez. He had to work just to get onto the ballot, then won the nomination.Quote:

Candidates are picked in the primaries by whoever shows up to vote.
Where were you?
But you sure showed 'em.
