CO-Quinnipiac: Gardner +4

[backtored]

The question is whether Cory can pull legislative Republicans and Bob Beauprez across the line. My guess that Gardner wins by seven or eight points, and while that should mean a clean GOP sweep (except for the state house, which still leans a bit to the Democrats), it doesn't mean that it will.

Basically, if Hick holds on, there might not be much of a change in local policy?

No, because the legislature will be more conservative. If Hick holds on it'll probably be more like 2011/2012, where government is split. But, you're right, if Hick wins you won't have any major shifts in statewide policy.
