These will go Democrat: CO, NH, MN.
How coudl you possibly think that either Franken or Ciresi could possibly beat Coleman?
I'll tell you how: breathless, heady hope. Ciresi would obviously come closer than Big Al, but Coleman is pretty safe. So is Colorado. I wouldn't even be surprised to see Oregon and NH stay red.
When you're on top you really do think that you can do just about anything. That's why Bush was campaigning in Michigan, Hawaii, and New Jersey in 2004. They were deluded into believing that Bush County was swelling so quickly that even those three blue states could hop aboard the Big Red Bandwagon.
Well, fortunes have shifted and now it's the Democrats deluding themselves into thinking that red states like Colorado are vulnerable. I find it amusing. Election Night, the Democrats won't.
Colorado is not the Republican stronghold it was just a few years ago. Just look at how everything has flipped in your state. Just three years ago the GOP had one-party control of Colorado's government, both senate seats, and a 5-2 majority of the congressional delegation. Now, the DEMOCRATS have one-party control of Colorado's government, split the senatorial delegation, and a 4-3 majority of the delegation. I mean hell, we all watched Colorado in 2006 to see if the 2004 gains were just a fluke or if they were permenant. Now we know.
