Colorado Constituents Recalling (2) State Senators for Gun Control Vote

I am glad Morse was defeated.

This should be warning shot to other Democrats in the state to not be too ideological.

I hope Hickenlooper takes notice.

I don't mean literally that no minority or voter under 30 voted. But obviously it was a super low turnout election. Again, the GOP can cherish their minor league numbers. Beat us in 2016 and then we can talk.

I am more worry about Hickenlooper in 2014.

Overall, this has been a good night for Colorado Democrats since it will teach them not to swing too far to the left.

And these are like D+7 districts, tell me the GOP track record in them in general elections. Appealing to a narrow electorate is great for low-turnout votes like tonight. Of course gun control played a role but far less than turnout. That said, Dems might as well wait a decade or so to pursue any gun legislation at the national level. They need an entrenched majority before going beyond simple background checks and at this point economic growth needs to be the agenda driver.

Aside from expanded background check, more gun restrictions should be handle at the state level.

The mentality of those who live in rural area where crime is not much of a concern is much different from those who live in urban area with high crime rate.
