Colorado 2008

[Kevin]

Colorado will not be voting Democratic at the Presidental level in 2008 if it's a close race, However it is moving that way. Also I really think Udall is going to get elected to the Senate

It could be argued that Colorado isn't trending Democratic and that is just repeating a trend as they have lected very liberal people before for example Gary Hart.

I don't know why that wouldn't be considered trending Democratic, however. Ohio was once a Democratic stronghold, then it went GOP, now it's trending Democratic again. Simple enough. The same could go for Colorado (except it doesn't; Colorado hasn't been near the center of the spectrum in decades, and 1964 was more of a fluke than anything else given the results of the surrounding years).

It could be argued that Colorado is trending Democratic for the time being which I think it is. The same goes for Ohio too.

Colorado, New Hampshire and Ohio are a number of states all trending Democratic; there may be others that I have not mentioned.  Georgia and Louisiana are two states trending Republican - I am not sure of any others.

Florida is a Republican state just look at it, For example in 2000 Bush won it by what 500 Votes? Then in 2004 he won it by a comfortable margin, Also look at their Governor's race this year, The Republican held the Governor's mansion by a good margin despite it being a very Democratic year, Also Bill Nelson would have been in big trouble this year had it been a more Republican year and the Republican canidate being more sane. MI could also be trending Republican but if it is it's trending slowly.

Hard to say.  I think Florida has moved slightly GOP, but not to the extent you think.  Its basically the same level it was against the national average in 96.  It was basically 2.5 points more GOP than the national average, after being .5% more Republican than the national average in  2000.  Some movement not a ton, and it moved to about where it was in 96 (about 3 points more GOP than the national average.

Also Charlie Crist being a moderate did help the Gov race there.  If he was more conservative, it would have been closer. 

Florida's still drifting towards the Republicans, Also Crist is fairly Conservative, He has just targeted the issues people care more about.

The Springs doesn't really have any suburbs.

I'd still say Wildfield and Fountain but that is it. Even Fountain makes me take BRTD's side on suburbs.

There's a lot going on in the Springs though. I think all the military stuff down there is cool.

Absolutely! I hope to move back there and retire from the Army there. I'd love to live either there, Manitou Springs or Monument.

What I don't like is those Focus on the Family morons down there tainting the city.

No sh**t to that! I'd love to run for public office when I retire however I know that it would be a huge war between me and jack@$$ James Dobson.

Don't worry Mikey Mike, I have confidence you will show him who is the better man!
