Colorado Recall Update: John Morse(D) & Angela Giron(D) Lose

The pro-second amendment folks just drew a new "red line" for the progressives.

If they win....there is no voter fraud. If they lose they believe that the only possible way that could have happened is through cheating.
Pick a position and stick with it folks.
The constitution still matters to most folks in this country.

Yet they don't want measures put in place that would help to prevent cheating on either side. You reap what you sow

LJ proves yet again, all talk, no thought. This recall election was a win for freedom, not the NRA or the defeat of New York's socialist billionaire. Time to insert one of her dozen thoughtless responses, thanks for playing, etc.

Socialist billionaire. LOL

Angela Giron had a meltdown on CNN today whining about voter suppression. Why haven't the Lefties jumped on Wasserman's talking points. Colorado, a blue state, with a Dem governor, and a Dem statehouse who just made it easier to vote is suppressing votes.

Which, of course, bears scant resemblance to the truth... (Imagine my surprise...)

The first thing the NRA-bots did was get a judge to issue an injunction against mail-in ballots, which is how most Coloradans vote, and them make sure the in-person voting hours were scaled-back and made as inconvenient as possible. As and we all know with "pinprick elections" the ones most likely to jump through the hurdles are the ones who are the most p*ssed-off. Cute...and effective.

Still, nothing more than a bump in the road... The laws are still on the books; the Dems still control the House, Senate, Governor, two U.S. Senators, and more county offices than ever before, and I'm sure you're enjoying your victory... for now...

Sure... Public Policy Polling did a poll a week before the voting... and showed Giron being defeated by 12 points... and they couldn't believe it and DIDN'T RELEASE THE POLL...

Tom Jensen of the Democrat-campaign affiliated polling firm, Public Policy Polling: “We did a poll last weekend in Colorado Senate District 3 and found that voters intended to recall Angela Giron by a 12 point margin, 54/42. In a district that Barack Obama won by almost 20 points I figured there was no way that could be right and made a rare decision not to release the poll. It turns out we should have had more faith in our numbers becaue [sic] she was indeed recalled by 12 points.” It’s a free country, and if PPP doesn’t want to release a result, they’re free to eat the costs and keep a survey result to themselves. But the rest of us are free to wonder just how “rare” it is for PPP to not release a poll, and what other results they’ve withheld from public release.

And the Democrats outspent the recall backers 7 TO 1.

Senate President John Morse and state Sen. Angela Giron lost their seats in the state’s first-ever legislative recall election, despite the support of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, hundreds of ground troops from groups like Organizing for America, and a 7-to-1 spending advantage.

Here's what the Democrats did... and they still couldn't beat the recall...

By the end of the process, so anxious were the opponents of the recall that they felt compelled to rely heavily on Michael Bloomberg, who sent $350,000 to Colorado to fight the threat; members of Obama’s ground team were brought in to boost turnout, and even former president Bill Clinton was wheeled in at the last minute to try to tip the scales. None of it worked. This was the recall that never supposed to happen — let alone be successful. The nine men who set the ball rolling weren’t supposed to be capable of organizing a town hall, let alone taking down the state-senate president. And yet they did it. Victor Head, a plumber who had never been politically active, took down a senator in a district that went Democratic in 2012 by ten points; a group of six concerned men from the AR15.com chat room removed the state’s top-ranking legislator. “We are a quiet people,” recall founder Tim Knight told his victorious friends when the results became known at the Stargazers Theater. “You may be tempted to ignore us. Clearly, that would be a mistake.”

Bump in the road... I don't think so... you've been wrong so many times about political races, polls and candidates... I suggest you stick to something you know how to do...

Like professional Bigot.

#WEWON#

Poor Dems. Their voters are so unmotivated that they can't bother to leave the house to vote.

It is all about getting out the vote and the Dems in Pueblo shrugged. (Or voted for Giron to go!)
Yes Virginia, there are pro-gun Democrats who love freedom.

Looks like Levy resigned today

As I've said elsewhere, I hope the Boulder/Denver dems keep pushing their progressive agenda. I think it's pretty clear the rest of the state is getting pretty tired of it. Look up and read what former Governor Bill Ritter just wrote about the recall. I can guarantee that all but the most ardent safe district progressive dems will be thinking about Morse and the "safe seat" Giron. The same thing goes for Hickenlooper who polls show is already running neck and neck with Tancredo. No, we are not going to see that big push to the left, next session as we saw session.
