Not to interrupt the narrative, but there's very little chance in hell that a majority of Colorado Springs residents would identify with the explicit goals of the Tea Party.
Colorado Springs isn't a city. It's a collection of single occupancy units that all just so happened to form in the same place.
P.S. And before anyone dives on me... yes, I have actually been there.
Does that have much bearing on municipal policy that could explain this?
I'm just saying, calling Colorado Springs a "conservative city" is largely a misnomer.
