Finally, the last census showed that the highest growth in Colorado is happening in Weld, El Paso, Douglas, and Mesa counties.  What do each of those counties have in common?  They are the most reliably Republican parts of the state.  Boulder and Denver counties, on the other hand, where Democrats cash in the most votes, have anaemic growth rates.  And Pueblo County, the conservative blue collar Democratic county, is trending Republican.  Democrats continue to win with moderate Democrats doing very well in Larimer, Jefferson, and Arapahoe counties.  But democraphics do not favor the Democrats, and Colorado will likely continue to grow more Republican as the GOP learns to match the liberal money advatnage that has held the state hostage.

#1 fallacy of all time. Just because areas like Douglas county are fast growing doesn't matter if you compare where the people are coming from. It could be that all the people moving to Colorado that are driving the growth are the Mexicans Immigrants moving to Inner City Denver and the pot smoking types moving to Boulder and some of the ski towns. The growth in Douglas County could be from people moving from Denver or Adams county trying to get away from “those people.” Therefore, you have cities like Denver or Boulder stagnating in population and Castle Rock growing in population. It doesn’t necessarily mean anything.

I'm living in Adams County, it's alright but most of it is a cesspool (old Brighton, south Thornton, unicorportaed Adams County, south Westminster). City and County of Denver can annex them for all I care, LOL
