a 5-10 point margin.
Ritter needs to start hitting back. Wallop Bob in the 3rd, Larimer and Arapahoe Counties. Both Ways is a hypocrite on immigration, and he has votes that can clearly paint him as part of the “culture of corruption”.
Dems have a strong GOTV ready, but absentees hit early next week and I haven’t heard anything about an aggressive chase from Ritter on these people who will have voted this time next week.
Dems also have a decent voter registration program going in the metro region – but you can’t count on those new voters…
The supboenas against the republican efforts will certainly slow their train down, but unless action happens soon – the effort will be a useless exercise in judicial futility.
And Colorado voters are well known for splitting their tickets. If a majority vote for Ritter, look for the republican constitutional candidates to do a bit better. Same in reverse.
But there can be no argument; this race will tighten up. Will Bob pull it off? Maybe if he had a better campaign staff and more credibility with the press… he’s already lost the Rocky, Post and Sentinel endorsement. Chieftain as well, I’ve heard, and no doubt the Herald goes to Ritter now too… so – the undecided will certainly be swayed here…
As of now, I say Bob goes down by at least 7.
The polls can spout the 15-17% margin today, but that is unrealistic. I have no doubt that Ritter will pull it out though. BWB has done too much to sink his own ship. Whether it be the coordination, the lack of credibility or the fact that he has no strong record to stand on makes him just another politico just plodding along. The infusion of cash from Bush will help with TV buys and other things, but it is too late to do much damage. My prediction 54-45 give or take a point.
This is enjoyable right now (16-17 pt. lead), but unfortunately it will tighten up. Ritter over Both Ways: 53% to 46% with 1% split between the write-in Republican candidate and the Dancing Guy.
Only a top notch candidate and campaign manager (a la Dick Wadhams) could really pull it out at this point. Ritter by 4. And forget about the republican voter registration edge; conservatives will sit on their hands, and I predict a serious under-vote when it comes to Beauprez vs. Coffman, Hillman and Suthers.
my sources say the bb campaign really was going to have the widow on the steps of the capital but called it off at the last minute. leaders in the party hated the idea and pulled the plug.
but the episode effects the bb campaign because now they will be second guessing themselves for the next 30 days and questioning their own instincts.
that’ll kill them in the end.
They went through the trouble to get her the visa at a record clip, then started her on the 24 hour trip to Denver from Lasaka and then pulled the plug.
When they cancelled, she probably just went shopping at Cherry Creek Mall – and everything was paid for by the BB campaign because she could only find hurt and anger in her heart if she was getting paid.
Either you are insulting our intelligence or your “source” just insulted yours….
