1. Ritter will win
And Perlmutter will win the the 7th, netting us one House seat and turning the delegation to a 4-3 Democratic advantage. Musgrave may lose to Paccione, and Jay Fawcett may pull out a huge upset in CO-5, but that's unlikely.

We will also probably win for Treasurer, and maybe for SoS. The Legislature will also likely remain Dem.

2. Colorado is already Blue IMO, or at least blueish-purple
The question is, will Colorado Springs turn blue? It looks good from here, but honestly I don't know what the fundies are going to do tomorrow.

3. You're damned right it will!
We were doing well before Haggard, but I think his "gift" is icing on the cake...

Ritter should run all over Beauprez.... Marilyn Musgrave SHOULD be gone as well...

4. Pretty much


Right now we have a Repubic Governor, Democratic majorities in both legislative houses, a Senator from each party (even though Salazar is a Dino) and a 3 to 4 minority in US Representatives. The Secretary of State, Treasurer and Attorney General are Repugs.

After tomorrow we will most likely have a Democratic Governor, continued control of the Legislature, no change in Senators (not up for election), a 4 to 3 majority in the House delegation and 'who knows' in the other state-wide offices.

If things go well, Paccione will beat Musgrave. But I don't see how we can pick up the other two heavily Repuke house districts.

9. Colo Springs and FUBAR on the Family didn't help
with the redness....neither did conservative Texans relocating to CO.

But thank goodness the pendulum is swinging back.

8. Hope So -
Ritter will win, unfortunately Tancredo will keep his seat and Musgrave has run the ugliest campaign in the state, last I heard she & Pacconi were tied. Crossing my fingers that CO republican's have had enough. I live in Denver, where it's safe - the burbs are the problem.
