CO-Gov

[Dr. Arch]

For some reason, Colorado makes me the saddest of states moving away from Republicans.  I want the GOP to absolutely own the Mountain West, which is an absolutely awesome region that manages to carry its conservatism in a very classy way.

While I can certainly appreciate this sentiment, there should be left-leaning states in all regions as well, so that people who hold political ideology as an important anchor can live throughout the country, like IL in the Midwest and VA in the South.

In any case, the sharp turn of CO is not only due to demographic shifts, but also the GOP going haywire at the worst possible time.

I like the fact that Colorado votes for my party so I can't blame Republicans for wanting that too.

Anyway, the gubernatorial election should be competitive, right?

With Trump poisoning the GOP brand, maybe not.

CO-GOV 2018 is Lean R.

care to expand on that?

After twelve years of Democratic gubernatorial rule, Colorado should go Republican in 2018 despite it being a Trump midterm election. We'll see. The Democrats should take Florida back after 20 years. We'll see.

That's not how it works in statewide elections--take FL that you just referenced, for instance.

The top recruit. Unless John Elway magically decides not to be a Republican anymore and decides to run for office finally, there's nobody better then Perlmutter

Good news for CO.
