No, Tancredo would have won if the Republican party would have dumped the idiot they had (who lied to the party from the get-go) and run Tancredo instead.

Now that pot is legal here expect it to get worse.
If they get their gun control fantasies here expect more conservatives to leave thus making it even worse.
Unless the current libtard gun control fetish causes the state to backlash and go red again, I have very little hope for the future of Colorado (soon to be renamed East California).
I also have to take a little umbrage at criticism from someone in Harry Reid's district![]()
