I have been asking for a poll in Colorado…
What a crappy press release.
No mention of margin of error nor sample subsizes.
I would take the “Hispanic” number with a large salt tablet.
I thought we were the Centennial State.
Another case of east coast bias and failure to differentiate anything between Chicago and the west coast.
Along with boulders. Thus we are also the Stoney Mountain State, or something like that…
And there is always the ‘Welcome to Rocky Colorado…’ signs
Welcome to Homo Lesbo Ville.
The Politico article has it right – Colorado would be the “Centennial State.”
Oh, never mind.
Any news out of the hotbed of independent thinking?
This is definitely a wakeup call to Dems. Most would have called Colorado for Obama based on the poll’s huge Indy numbers, the edge among women and the Hispanic landslide. But Obama is losing white working-class Democrats by HUGE margins, not only in Colorado, but accross the country.
As in the 2010 Bennet victory, GOTV is all-important in Colorado. But some of the other swing states may be more difficult for Dems.
The Supreme Court is going to rule on the Affordable Care Act.
The economy and gas prices can go up or down.
The debates with Obama and the liar side by side.
As a starting point, I’d rather be ahead than behind and believe me Party Democrats know Colorado is a high stakes state that will be tough to win.
It’s going to be exciting man and Democrats should welcome the challenge to explain why we’re better off than four years ago.
What specifically has the President done to “lose the white working class Democrats by huge margins?
I can easily see how the avalanche of red money this early has flooded the airwaves with bullshit, misinformation, and race baiting, dog whistle fringe red meat, and how that is directing clueless “unaffiliated”, reddogs, and faux fools, but how is it affecting working class Democrats?
Is there a poll showing the President losing Democratic voters?
What policies of his would be cited?
I would think the 30,000 voter advantage reds have here, thanks in part to Gessler’s hijinks, would have mittens closer to even, maybe ahead, if the President’s losing Democrats.
The “reagan Democrats defected long ago, racists for the majority, and a not completely white President won’t bring them back.
So, who else?
Obama is losing white working-class Democrats by HUGE margins. It sounds scary but is it true and what is the underlying reason for this abandonment.
The Sirota democrats I can understand. Obama has governed as a centrist and the left fringe is outraged that he hasn’t done their every bidding.
As for the “Sirota Democrats”, they’ll vote for the President over mittens, but maybe won’t be enthused enough to advocate for him.
Honestly, I don’t think there’s poll showing loss of white working Dem’s.
I think it’s mythical like Milwaukee Mayor Barrett’s “war on guns”, “Obama hates veterans”, and “mittens knows how to create jobs”.
But if it’s repeated enough, perception becomes reality.
Gessler has had nothing to do with the edge Republicans have in state voter registration. His “hijinks” have been around campaign finance rules, whether inactive voters get ballots, and some proposals that might affect turnout this fall but have had zero effect on voter registration to this point.
Proportionally, more Republicans voted in 2010 and 2011 than Democrats or unaffiliated voters, so they didn’t deactivate at the same rate. There was also a vigorously contested Republican presidential race, which probably led to more Republicans registering to vote over the last six months.
As in mail in ballots, or the lack of being able to vote with them should a person have sat out the ’10.
Inactive!
“Subjectively”.
That’s a first…………EVER!
Zero effect? Hardly.
Precinct changed during redistricting?
Inactive!
And the person isn’t told so!
It’s subjective as well, with “U” and “D” pulled, not “r”.
Try this with somebody else. Suthers and Gessler are rigging this thing, whether you want to deal with it or not.
Seriously, I’m trying to make sense of what you’re saying.
No doubt Gessler will do his best to make it harder for Obama supporters to vote this fall. But what does that have to do with the state’s current voter registration advantage for Republicans? That total includes both active and inactive voters.
I’m ok with my voter suppression theory, but you’re right that there is a republican edge in registered voters to begin with.
Sorry I muddied the waters, I was too quick to jump.
Rush Limbaugh is saying some crazy shit on the radio right now, which means the Dems are completely hapless !
How could we be so pompous to expect we could win against this tidal wave of idiotic nonsense anyway. Its unstoppable, and brilliant.
Its over.
this prognostication of doom.
Woe us.
How can a record of proven performance possibly compare to a pack of lies?
For example:
1) Was this all voters or most likely to vote?
2) What was the result among white males?
3) Where is the Republican strength?
