    Default The Future of Colorado in light of the recalls

    I noticed that the We're Done with Colorado thread popped back up with responses that kinda make it look like the recalls may have changed some people's minds about the future and direction of our beloved Colorado.

    So I though I'd make another goddamn poll and see what happened.

    We'll see what happens next fall. Also, who knows what they will try to pass hear on the state level with the recent incident in DC.

    recalls: minor speed bump until the next schoolyard shooting comes along. It was nice to see occur, I donated in hopes of ousting those that got tossed and am glad it played out as it did but I don't think the trajectory of the state, overall, has changed a bit.

    i think the big test is the governor's race with some of the minor reps and senators who are in swing districts. The die hard libs in the urban areas are something that I just don't see moving and that will be problematic for a long time.

    It is way too early to tell where we are going as a state yet. We all still have a good feeling because of the recall and it will be talked about for decades to come when the gun issue comes up but i will not be optimistic until the laws get repealed.

    It was nice to recall those two bozos but it is a minor blip. The new register when you vote law means the dimocrats can win just about any election they want. There is no such thing as a safely Conservative district any more. All the sheriffs that are fighting the new gun laws are toast. All the libs have to do is bus in a bunch of voters. In rural areas it won't take many votes to swing rural elections over to the liberal candidates. Holder will be here in an instant if anything is done to keep outsiders from voting.

    It's time to party like it's 1999. So to speak.

    I think it is too early to tell, I was always hopeful for the recalls, but I have always said next years elections will tell the tale.

    I don't think things will change much.. What I fear is the Reps getting in a drug out fight in the Gov primaries rather than rally around a single guy. Hick should be beatable but the Reps have shown that they are fully capable of throwing a race.

    Hick is a typical jack ass and I don't doubt he will continue to shank us

    If any two of the following occur in Colorado politics. I will be outa here.

    1. If the Colorado Supreme Court continues to rule in favor of leftists

    2. If we end up with hickenfluffer again

    3. If we end up with a majority of leftists in both bodies of the state legislature
