Discuss: Person of the Year in Colorado Politics

•  
• by: Colorado Pols

As we have following every general election in Colorado since 2004, we're getting to the time of year when we start recapping the major events and personalities that defined the recently-concluded 2014 midterms. Over the next few weeks, we'll release our winners and losers of the 2014 elections, more about the role of the media in shaping both the electorate and public perceptions of candidates, and other storylines important to understanding everything that happened this eventful year.

Naturally, the discussion that takes place among our readers is an important part of our reckoning of events. This year, we want to acknowledge the one man or woman in Colorado politics who made the greatest impact–for good or ill–on our state's political history and future course of events. And we'll start by putting the question to our readers: who do you think is the Person of the Year in Colorado politics, and why?

We yield the floor.
