change is coming... UPDATE-- CHANGE IS HERE

[sniper7]

+1 on contacting elected officials early and often. You must live in the 4th, since I'm in the only other district with a new Democrat and we all know Jared Polis perfectly well.

Question: HOW the HELL did Perlmutter keep his seat by a 20-point margin in the district that elected Beauprez in 2002????

And what's REALLY important now: we need to retake the legislature in 2010. The 2010 assembly gets to re-draw the district maps.

I don't know much about Polis...what have you got on him

Polis is one of the four ultra-rich Colorado leftards (along with Tim Gill, Pat Stryker, and Rutt Bridges) who fling large amounts of money at various leftist causes. Polis' pet issue has usually been opposition to school choice and educational accountability in the past.

One of his campaign flyers mention supporting what IIRC was to have essentially been a Federal takeover of education.

He bought himself the 2nd district seat on the State Board of Education a few years ago, and apparently bought himself the Dem nomination from the same district.
