It is a tough year to be a Democrat
But then, you’re not a Democrat.
Neither am I, for that matter, but at least I don’t pretend.
if so, can you explain the “I” discontent with everything “D” this year in Colorado? I was listening to the news yesterday, and they were doing one of those man/woman in the street things. And the self-proclaimed independents they interviewed said “voters” this year were tired of the Ds for running up the deficit.
(It always strikes me as funny that when you put a mic in front of someone, all of a sudden they represent all independent voters…)
Of course the economy is still struggling, but there is relatively good news to speak about, such as private sector employment gains (still weak, but better than the past few years of losses), the deficit is actually down from the high of last year and the Dow is up almost 10% this year.
A Republican win will reverse every one of these stats as they work with even more power to derail every positive initiative Obama might put forth to move the country forward.
Thanks for “representing” the independent thought for me.
🙂
In Colorado voters cannot register I, unless they choose to register with the Independent Party (which I believe is now defunct).
We can register “U.”
And “active voter” Colorado U’s lean R.
Looking at 20 years of elections, 2008 was an outlier.
Obama won counties last carried by a D in 1964 when the nation was still mourning JFK. Said another way, Obama won in places where Nixon won twice, Ford won in 76, and BushSr won in 88 and 92. Places Clinton never carried- where BushJr won twice.
In those counties where Obama broke ice, Udall won by much narrower margins than Obama. Coattails, but thin. That’s why 2010 statewide is all about GOTV.
Get the BIg Dog, get the President get PeeWee Herman – get whomever it takes to get the D’s and D leaning U’s to vote. But you gotta do it without alienating many R leaning U’s. Whoops- leave the big dog on the porch, let the President stay in DC (or the midwest) and that leaves….Bono? Robert Redford?
Hopefully Rove, Palin, Maes and the other offensive R’s will alienate some R leaning U’s. Can we get them to show up over and over?
U rather than I. Got it.
I used to register U myself for the first few years I was in Colorado, until I realized I was depriving myself of a say in the nominee of the only party with which I most completely identified.
Maybe if we challenge their masculinity (especially Palin’s…) maybe that will get them riled up enough to blow their load all over Colorado? Sure worth a try…
