1. Uh oh

Man, the Republicans just look like they're going to get munched this year. It's a damn shame. I feel awful.

:popcorn:

Okay, now I feel better.

3. You really think so?

What about all the homeless people the Republicans are going to discount and throw out their ballots?

And where are the Dems on this?.....

Wake the fuck up, Colorado Dems!

4. I'll betcha a $10 donation to DU

Not only does Obama carry Colorado, but Udall becomes the next Senator from Colorado.

7. From your keyboard to the goddess's monitor!

I hope you're right...

BUT.. .you didn't respond to what I said about the Dems ignoring homeless people being disenfrachised.

We're not choppped liver, yaknow... :hi:

and, being homeless myself, I don't have $10 for a donation .... or even a meal right now.

8. Just 'winning' isn't enough. They must be CRUSHED for their incipient fascism.

A landslide isn't enough ... it must be a Mount St. Helens ... complete devastation! Absolutely EVERY vote counts ... and even a 60%-40% winning margin AIN'T ENOUGH!

Destroy them. Wipe them off the ballot. Make 'em CRY! Make every asshole with a McCain lawn sign hide in SHAME. These people MUST be made to feel like complete FOOLS.

:grr: :grr:

9. I can always count on you to cathect with my better side!

As I'm muddling my way through our maze of ballot issues, your words help me to keep plowing through it...

Thanks!

:applause:

I'm ready for the Dance On Graves! :rofl:

2. The NRSC is pulling ads from CO next week -- looks like we have another winner!

:woohoo:

5. Watch Schaffer whine before debate about not being able to use notes as the campaigns agreed

Udall tells whining Schaffer fine use your notes...lets get it on.

6. People are going around with the "why can't Udall close the deal" BS they give Obama

However, if you'd said in 2002 that after the 2008 election the CO Dems would control both Senate seats, what is shaping up as a 5-2 House majority, as well as the Governorship, both houses of the Leg. and every statewide office save one (which will go to Dem. control after the current office holder, Sec. of State. Mike Coffman becomes the new CO-6 Congressman), people would have thought you were crazy. Words can't describe how bad the Republicans' implosion has been.

Of course, people would rightly expect a bigger blowout considering how poorly run Schaeffer's campaign has been. They literally have not done one thing right. On the other hand, there have been millions of dollars spent by 527s trying to convince us that Udall is, in fact, the spawn of satan (only a slight exaggeration), with only a minimal response from Udall. Still, he's going to coast to victory now. Once the NRSC bails I'm sure the 527s will do likewise to save their sorry asses in KY and MS.

Then, THE TAKEOVER WILL BE COMPLETE!!! MUA HA HA HA!!!

Seriously, it'll be 100% Democratic control of both the state and federal portions of our government. Think about that. Six years ago it was the exact opposite (save the attorney general's office). Colorado Republicans: Epic Fail.

11. You brought up something I haven't thought about......

If Coffman wins, does Ritter appoint a successor SOS until the next election? I hope so, sure would like to see a democratic SOS.

On another topic, I'm still deciding about all the ballot issues. I've been focusing so much on the senate and presidential races that I know we have a long ballot, but I haven't read the blue book yet. I printed out a sample ballot the other day and I'll be deciding whether to vote early or by mail within the next week. The good news is that the election office is not far from where I live so if I decide to vote by mail, I should be able to go down there and get one in person.

10. It will be interesting to see the turnout for early voting tomorrow...

That 4 page long ballot will take forever to fill out. I'm glad I got a Mail-In Ballot, spent a couple of hours at home researching all of the amendments and hand delivered it to the ballot drop box at the Arvada City Hall. I have a feeling that there will be some long lines at the EV polling sites and on election day.

As for Udall they've really been bombarding him with "Boulder Liberal" (ooooo scary!) ads from 527s. His nonresponse to those ads and the positive numbers show that people are hurting and not falling for the right wing bs anymore. I think that Shaffer's new ads are hilarious. All of a sudden he's a candidate for "change". Congress has screwed everything up. He's going to go in there and cut the pork, balance the budget, find all the oil we need, bring the boys home and reform Congress. It's laughable from someone who's always been a Bush wannabe.

Oh and if you really want to read something sick check out Mike Rosen's op-ed piece calling Shaffer "a Principled Conservative".
