Politicians were looking for a way to negate the local anti-fracking measures being voted on in many counties but it looks like it won't happen now. The big question? Will these anti-fracking measures make it more likely Republicans get out to vote to defeat them, or will more liberal voters turn out to support these local issues?

I would guess it will get anyone who has a vested interest in our economy to get out and vote. I suspect a lot of reps, but I know plenty of democrats too who realize is fracking is banned, our economy will tank.
Too bad future generations aren't here to see all the great things we are spending their $$ on!!
Sounds like Sen. Udall is deciding to not support the local fracking ballot issues, is there a Green candidate for Senate in Colorado who can take advantage of this?

And why no special session? Hickenlooper can't get the support he needs for his preferred outcome - yet another indication of just how effective he is at leading . . .

Hickenlooper taking a cue from Obama by leading from behind? If there won't be a special legislative session then the next chance to change unpopular laws will be during the next regular session. SNAFU for that much longer!
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
