CO: PPP says Gardner+3

[Vosem]

Buck was ahead +3.0; Gardner is ahead +3.8 and gaining right now. (I'd also note that Udall was ahead +12.5 in 2008 and only won +10.3, even as Obama significantly underperformed in polling; we can't rule out, based on Udall's history, that it is Gardner polls are underestimating).

Also, +8 on the generic ballot looks fantastic for our chances at the state legislature. If Beauprez pulls it out, we could have a trifecta and bring the Midwestern reform efforts of Snyder and Walker to Colorado.

If Republicans get the trifecta, the overreach will be huge. Beauprez thinks Obama wasn't even born here, so you can imagine what sort of craziness him and Republican legislature would come up with. That would destroy Republicans in 2016.

Oh, lots would be accomplished. And I'm sure Beauprez would be in as much trouble as Snyder and Walker are in. (Depending on to what extent the Democratic bench is destroyed, y'all might even be in store for a Branstad/Kasich situation. But I'm fantasizing right now -- Beauprez, unlike Gardner, has yet to even pull away from his Democratic opponent.)
