2. Morning!

We still have to get rid of Beauprez, Tancredo and Musgrave. But we won't have to deal with the redistricting moves and at least have a base from which to build! Given his personal life, I hope any endorsements from our governor won't hold as much weight as they might have in the past.

What happened here helps brighten an other wise gloomy morning.

4. Wow. Congratulations

I surfed to your forum to find the Salazar results and found this good news.

Hey, I think we flipped 2 state legislature seats to Dem in my Ohio county.

[Touchdown]

5. Hey Ohio! Tough break, but we both did our best!

:hi:

6. we threw the bums out!

if we can do this in Colorado, there's hope we can do it nationally.

7. We should redistrict...

Do like the repugs did in Texas...anyone got info or ideas on this?

[DaveinMD]

8. The Republicans tried that

last year and state court threw out the new map. Dems won't do this because they would need a Gov that would sign the map anyhow.

9. Exactly why we need to get him thrown out

see my "smear Gov Owens" thread

[DaveinMD]

10. I'm all for that

Colorado is a state where we can continue to make huge strides.

11. Governor's race, 2006.

14. WOOT! Colorado = next blue state

I'm not from Colorado but this sounds like a great victory for you guys. Despite a traditionally GOP leaning state in a presidential election year where Christian fundamentalists turned out in record numbers for Dubya, you guys managed to take the legislature AND win the US Senate seat, one of the only two that dems won.
