Is it feasible for us to retake state congress?

[Uberjager]

Or, we will be stuck with Dems forever?

[Great-Kazoo]

Depending how the election goes. The only retaking i will be doing is of our liberties.

The only saving grace is there is a lot of "stay out of my business" libertarian leanings here, even while they want progressive handouts.

Yeah, I don't get that at all. Why do people think they can have both.

[Zundfolge]

Stuck with dems and slowly becoming essentially the eastern California, just lagging behind by about two - three decades. So many line item D voters that thanks to Amendment 64, there's no question need asked.

We'll be fine right up to when they finally get rid of TABOR Then we'll make California look like a bunch of pikers and we won't be East California but North Venezuela. I doubt we'll ever be the free state I moved to back in aught-two.

This will give you an idea. Here are the voting trends for CO:

2012: 51.5% Democratic / 46.1% Republican
2008: 53.7% Democratic / 44.7% Republican
2004: 47% Democratic / 51.7% Republican
2000: 42.4% Democratic / 50.8% Republican

Oh and for you conservatives, libertarians and other non leftists that voted to legalize pot; I told you so

Amendment 64? I'm blank on that one.

Legalization of pot. It's caused at least 100,000 people to move here, the vast majority of which are Democrats.

[milwaukeeshaker]

Thanks! You are right about that. I just cannot believe people would move from another state just to smoke pot. I'm sure they did not find it that hard to get where they lived before. But to move your entire place of residence just to get high?? I just can't process that.

One can only hope that CA also votes for legalization and helps reduce the pot head migration to CO.
