Not that I had a choice in the matter, but my moving van gets here next April. I guess I'll have to reevaluate Colorado in a few years to see if I want to come back.
And for you pissy motherf*ckers that are looking for someone to point the finger at: I am a libertarian. I voted all R for this election. Happy?![]()

Very disappointed in the results for governor. I absolutely despise Hick and put a lot of effort into lobbying friends and family to vote BB.
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.

[QUOTE=BPTactical;1761157]On a brighter note and one that should make us all very happy:
Can you imagine the hissy fit Obarryo threw when he realized he lost his senate?
That my friends is a victory I will goad in. We may have lost a battle here but look at the big picture, Barryo and his ilk got their asses served to them on a platter.
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.

I am disappointed, but I am not so sure it is not a mandated stalemate as anything else. Both parties are messed up. I think a marginal gain is still showing that CO GOP that they have a lot of work to do in the next 2 years. If they had a landslide, I think it would have been read wrong by the GOP. 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.
