This is it, folks. Election day is tomorrow! If you haven’t dropped off your ballot yet, don’t worry, we’ve got a list of voter service centers where you too can take part in the Democratic process.

While your actual ballot should contain votes for the candidate you want to win the election, we want to know who you think will win.  We’re not asking which candidate you think will govern better or who would be a more influential Mayor. Instead, we’re asking you whose campaign has better resonated with the voters of Denver.

Chris Romer has impeccable name ID and his father has been lending his name and time to the campaign. Romer’s been able to finance a final field push (in part because of the depth of his own pockets) and that may make the difference. We’ve heard from countless voters that they don’t like negative campaigning and that they’ve soured on Chris Romer, but going negative is always much more effective than it should be.

Michael Hancock has really impressed us with his media savvy and a lot of his campaign team. He’s done a remarkable job of competing with Romer, something we didn’t think he’d be able to do. Still, Hancock has had to defend himself on issues ranging from pay raises to taxis to creationism in schools, and we know that constantly playing defense isn’t the best way to win a campaign.

What say you, Polsters? Who will win one of Colorado’s most visible elected positions? We’ve covered the entirety of the campaign; now we want to hear from you.
