ELECTION 2014 - Merged Threads

Even if Hickenlooper lost the UBGC would be here to stay. Repealing it would be political suicide due to the fact that the majority of people, including many gun owners support the law.

The magazine law on the other hand would have been overturned. Either way, I never thought Beauprez had a chance. The numbers in this state simply don't support a republican candidate winning a gubernatorial election unless something big happens.

Colorado is becoming far less of a swing state. I fully expect Hillary to take the state in the presidential election. New California is here to stay.

There are only 11,000 votes separating the two; protest votes could have easily made up the difference, which I see as pretty disheartening coming from gun owners who were thoroughly screwed in 2013.

I know a lot of "protest" voters who would rather see a D in office than an R in office so I don't think trying to count them as potential votes for the R candidate is a reasonable assumption.

The Pueblo recall voted in a Republican in a district that was over 70% Democrat because even they understood the significance. There really is no excuse for Gun Owners on this particular race. I work with a Libertarian who voted Libertarian all the way down the ballot except for the Governor's race; this was important.
