….just because you don’t like the message.
And if you don’t think that the Pubes aren’t doing to same polling…. and finding out the same thing…..
Because you can’t confuse the issue with facts…
I agree with this report. The Democrats have moved back to the middle and have become much more fetching for Coloradans of all political stripes. It’s no secret that the GOP brand is a little sour, these days. But also notice that it says nothing about convervatism. In fact, the report states that as most Republicans are conservative and most Democrats are liberal (here, here!) elections are fought on the margins, in the base.
Bill Ritter won an astonishingly large amount of the conservative Republican vote in El Paso county, among others. Ken Salazar did the same against an opponent viewed as weak because of his opposition to the death penalty and pro-gay business.
Colorado is a conservative state. And the citizens are waiting for there to be a conservative party to vote for. The way the GOP has done things so far this session, I think we may have one.
it was a joke, right?
as analysed by the Democratic political consulting firm RBI Strategies and Research.
And in other news, The Weekly Standard reports that Democrats are experiencing a thumping on domestic policy as analyzed by Fred Barnes.
Another big snoozer from a big liberal.
We are so lucky to have an inspiration like you teaching our students.
I’m not sure we’ll see such a strong democratic performance if we have liberals like Obama, Hillary & Udall on the top of the ticket. Let’s face it Salazar & Ritter didn’t run as tradional democrats and when given the choice of a DC liberal democrat Vs someone else I’m scared more people will choose some one else.
Ritter was very much a democrat in all regards. He said that he is personally opposed to it, but will not inflict his catholicism on the state i.e. he did a JFK. Basically, he said that gov. will stay out of ppl’s lives. That is democrats. In addition, he, like many other democrats is pro-business. Nothing wrong with that. I do not think that he would gut an EPA ruling to enable exon to come and pollute here. But do you see him saying to Xcell that they need to stop all their coal plants and go pure alternatives or nukes? Nope (I wish that he would try to open up the state to 1 more coal and several nukes, but that is me). He also shot down the no secret vote to form a union (it felt to me like it was rigged, but that is just me). Ritter is pure democrat.
Salazar is as well, just more conservative. He would fit right in with a number of southern democrats (I think they call them blue dog dems or something like that). I am fine with that.
As to the others, lets wait and see who gets nominated. I think that the selection of VP becomes very important to them. In particular, 2 east coasters will not bode well for the dems. And Udall will stand on his own in this state. I think that baring any dems or personal scandals, that he will be the next senator.
While CU regent results have frequently been used as a performance measure (because the elections are so low profile), 2006 may have not been the best year for that. Democrat Ludwig actually campaigned statewide, while his Republican opponent (a doctor or med student) never left the metro area after winning at the Republican assembly. That race was a good measure of GOP overconfidence and complacency.
At best this reflects national data which says people weren’t happy with republicans it does NOT mean they are happy with Democrats.
