As whole, CO did an overall good job of turning back from solid blue to a more historical split personality.

A Republican candidate unseated a relatively scandal free Democratic Senator in a statewide race. That is a big deal!

4 of the state's 7 seats in Congress are help by Republicans. That is a big deal!

Republicans re-took the State Senate and may retake the State House. That is big deal!

Republicans took all of the statewide support offices, like AG, SOS, and ST. That is big deal!

A moderately "damaged goods" Republican Candidate did not manage defeat the incumbent Democratic Governor is a very close race. Yes, it's bad, but not the end of the world.

If ALL of the above had gone or mostly D, then yes, we would be looking at potential permanent blue status. Even then, how many of you would have said that MA and IL would have elected new R governors last night?
