Manitou is in the district too, IIRC, so a low voter turn out by normal people will always hand a socialist a win.

3rd party candidate took enough votes away from the R. Just enough to give morse the win.Quote:

I really hope you are right - I saw this and it made me nervous... http://coloradopols.com/diary/44669/...all-the-recall
I know which way that site leans (the opposite of right), so I hope they are foolishly optimistic.
It would break my heart to see such a resounding 'hands-off' be defeated because of a technicality.
I really hope people get out and vote this guy out. If they dont and he stays in we will never hear the end of it.
Indeed, though it'd probably add fuel to the fire of creating Northern Colorado (or Eastern CO, as one editorial I read today suggested).Quote:

The call was local and the wife signed it and is a registered "D". They called looking for her and at first the guy said he would call back but I got him to say his BS when I said that she just got back from the dentist and I had signed it as well.
After his spew he asked if I would be willing to take my name off and that it was real easy to do. I told him not a chance that we would change our minds about Bloomburg's lapdog and that Morse needed to rot in hell for not listening to his constituents.
So just a heads up to those in the district that if there is a "D" in the house that signed it your phone will ring.
