My advice would be to stay where he is, Hickenlooper's unbeatable. Wait for an open seat.

I actually agree with this.  Let Hickenlooper get re-elected in 2014 run CO into the ground another 4 years and make himself look more of an idiot than he is now.  2018 will be a better year for fresh faces.

There'll be more Californians in Colorado in 2018. No way republicans win. Colorado will be more democrat than D.C.

I'm proud to NOT call myself a Coloradoan by then, I'll be long gone from the state.  Moving end of next year anyways.

Good for him.

Hickenlooper, going the way the wind blows since 2010, lack of backbone and spine.

In other words he's a standard Democrat.

He ran as a 'moderate' in 2010 against so called far right extremist Tancredo.  Some of the GOP voted for Hickenlooper back in the day.  They're regretting it now.

[GOP is in that state that seemed to move left]

Supposedly, Hickenlooper has been fading a bit in terms of popularity, but it just shows you how weak the GOP is in that state that seemed to move left very, very quickly over the past decade.

Californians moving and escaping their cesspool and converting CO as a repeat of their past mistake. CO is a lost cause, glad I'm moving out of this dung pile next year.

Guy made Darwin award of the year.

They can with a respectable D running president.  Right now, it's staying put, senior citizens and retirees will always move there which are GOP leaning.  The west doesn't need to turn more blue than it already has.

[quote Texas is changing, very, very quickly. /quote]

Yes, but in three years?  I don't think it can be a swing state in that short of time.  Maybe by 2020. 

It could change that fast if you give drivers licenses to 'undocumented citizens'.

The GOP in CO needs to clean house and start over.  Screw this state.

Texas going Democratic is like New York going Republican, hell freezes over before that ever happens.

[RINOs]

I wouldn't necessarily say this hurts him. Most RINOs rank-and-file support these measures.

...Most of the Republican voters are RINOs then?

A few, not most.  I should of clarified myself and said most northeast Republicans are RINOs.

The main reason, McCain supports gun control legislation, conservatives and libertarians disapprove of him. McCain, like Obama are both morons.

She should of said 'enough of neocons!'

Read my screen name, Colorado has been Californicated.  Moderate is a mask term for sheep who are secretly liberal.

Santorum, keep fighting other members of the GOP and divide them even more. 

Not that I heard of yet.

There are rumors of other potential candidates from the legislature, all lack-luster and Penry is still being touted for Governor by the Chair.

John Hickenlooper is a spineless noodle, only goes the way the wind blows.

Yeah, that the poll was taken in metro Denver, which is obviously skewed Democrat.  Smells like BS to me.

Democrats will be favored.  The GOP is so, so weak in CO these days.

That may be changing after this gun control bill passes.

You're delusional if you think this will have any impact on next year's races.

I've never even shot a gun before and these bills make me furious.

It's difficult to exaggerate the enormity of the Democrats' political miscalculation here.  Of all the hornets nests the Democrats could have kicked, guns may be the grand-daddy of them all in this state.

I don't think it's much of a miscalculation.  Virtually everyone who might be offended by the recently passed gun control laws was never going to vote Democrat under any circumstances anyway. I know a number of Libertarian and Republican pro-gun folks, and none of them have a problem with these laws; as long as it doesn't really impact their recreation shooting or hunting, they don't care.

Actually, I don't own any guns and have issues with the law.  What does this do exactly, Magpul is moving out of CO among other companies in the same business, people will boycott the state, take their money and spend it in Wyoming, Utah, Arizona.  Hicknelooper is wrong and needs to be voted out of office in 2014.  Californication of CO is happening faster than my head can spin.

You're just a Republican hack masquerading as a libertarian, so no one cares.

Compelling argument...

I could see this guy as a third party candidate for the Constitution Party.

This I agree with.  I like Ben Carson, but he'll get burned during the primaries and general election.
