CO House: missed taking control by one seat. That means republicans picked up several house seats.
CO Senate: Still undecided but looks like republicans will take it.
The governor held on by less than 3%. That's the only real loss by republicans. EVERYWHERE else they either won or gained ground on democrats. How anyone can see this as short of amazing given the trend in Colorado over the last decade is just baffling.
If everything remained the same with the exception of Beauprez beating Hickenlooper this would be described as a complete republican victory.
