    Even the stats posted above..

    John Hickenlooper (Dem) - 50.7%
    Tom Tancredo (AmC) - 36.7%
    Dan Maes (GOP) - 11.1%

    Show that even if the Reps had gotten behind their man that they still would have lost 50.7% to 47.8%.. In order to beat Hickenlooper it isn't going to be about making Reps happy it's going to be about picking up the independent/unaffiliated voters as well.
    Those stats don't quite say that because it ignores the large number of Republicans or unaffiliated voters who didn't even go to the polls because they were turned off by the infighting.

    "large number of Republicans or unaffiliated voters", varied much from average turnout? And was it enough to make difference?

    Will it actually be any different in 2014?

    Tom Tancredo voted for TARP, i.e. the 2008 taxpayer bailout for the banksters whose recklessness and swindles nearly crashed the global financial system. I will never, ever vote for him for any public office, under any circumstances.

    IF, IF the same vigor that tossed Huron & Morse out, goes to the polls. Then Yes.

    I'm hoping Obamacare causes much of the same vigor. It should be good, stinky, and expensive by then.

    Expensive isn't a problem. What you look for is the number of people who can become dependent on it. The more dependency, the more people who are "afraid" (we will protect you!) and the more criminals there are, the more people who can be controlled by government. Ever wonder why we seem to want to provide welfare to any and everyone, citizen or not, here legally or not? Don't sweat what, worry about why.

    Just wait until the pro-dependency people get their teeth into how mean spirited the house is for voting down $4B in food stamps...taking food from the mouths of babies...

    I don't know how much stinkier you can get than abandoning 4 men to their deaths while we have live video feeds going for 7+ hours of their desperate struggle (okay, the ambassador was dead already but we didn't know that and we DID know 2 guys on the roof were relaying coords on the mortar for fire mission that never came). It didn't make any difference last year to too many people. I will not give up and I will not surrender but we have to be realistic and realize we are fighting an uphill battle.

    I get all that, but google up "insolvency date" for SS and Medicare every so often. It keeps marching forwards. The news outlets (and CBO on occasion) who report it pushes back are not accurately accounting, when they say it hasn't moved or went back two years. At some point, this all crashes. All the gimmedat votes in the world won't fix it.

    TARP has been repaid plus interest payments of around $28B. TARP ended up being a good thing for tax payers but the mass media doesn't want anyone to know that any of Bush's policies worked.
