Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Perhaps if only the gov's office goes republican. But if we get the senate and house too, I'll take those odds.Originally Posted by Clint45

Im in too. With the trifecta, they could get it done.
Now calculate the odds of Rs actually pulling the hat trick....

Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

A World Without Guns <- Great Read!
I'd say at least 50/50 in CO. I think the dems are gonna take a beating in the house and senate in DC this Nov. Even people like David Axelrod are practically conceding the senate. Too early to get my hopes up, though, especially here in the state.

What we're counting on is the Rs not stepping on their genitalia repeatedly, or offering up candidates that manage to make themselves utterly unelectable. If a RiNO like Christie ends up being the frontman for the RNC, he'll probably be elected, but is that really a victory for liberty/conservative values? Given the divisions within the Republican party between the RiNOs, the Tea Party, and the Neo Con quasi religious whack jobs, the voice of traditional conservatives will struggle to be heard.

Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
Christie would lose to ANYBODY in a landslide. It doesn't matter if it's Hillary or Al Gore. Christie would maybe only get 30% of the republican vote.

People forget Reagan won by making the GOP the party of the "Big Tent". We have got to get over the "divisions" between "RINOs", Tea Party, social conservatives, etc. or we are doomed to yet another 4 years of Socialist anti-American "Change" drivel. How is THAT a victory for liberty or conservative values? George W. Bush had his problems, not the least of which was his liberal-like spending habit, but would we really have been any better off with a President Gore at the helm on September 12, 2001? or President Kerry any time?
Win the damned offices and then hold the GOP winner accountable. I'd rather have the newspapers and ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN filled with stories about how people complaint "President XXXXX isn't conservative enough" than having the Dragon Lady in charge and having the Pinkos complain she's not "progressive" enough. For that matter, we need to take back the language -- they are regressive Stalinists and Maoists, not progressives.
Back on topic: anyone have any updates?

Don't think anyone will know until the judge comes out with their decision.. I would also venture to guess that the judge will not make their announcement until the very last day that they have to..
which is when?
