CO: Public Policy Polling: Hickenlooper keeps his strong lead

[Meeker]

Please go below 10% Mr. Maes. I beg of you.

Why would you like that to happen ?

If Maes drops below 10%, Tancredo staubsaugs more of his lost support and it is more likely that Maes drops out.

Don´t you want Hick to win ?

I don't think Maes could possibly go below 7-9%. That should be enough to allow Hickenlooper to win.

If they fall below 10% though it causes all sorts of problems for the Colorado GOP in the future - for instance, their candidates would only be allowed to raise half as much money as Democrats in the state.

I would presume that, should the GOP fall below 10% in this race, that the legislature will craft some kind of workaround.

Not if the Democrats manage to hold on to either the State House or Senate this year.

Just because it's possible to fuck Republicans over for partisan gain doesn't mean Democrats will.

They wouldn't have to actively do anything, just not pass a fixer law.
