WHY NO ONE CAME TO COLORADO

I've been signed up to receive both Hickenlooper's and Gardner's email for the past 8 months now, and finally unsubscribed from both two days ago after they started sending multiple emails a day begging for money. I read a story from a national source that neither campaigns were spending money on advertising here anymore because they think the race is a done deal for Hickenlooper, which made me unhappy (if true) that they are continuing to collect money to send to out-of-state campaigns that are closer.

This is exactly the gist of the article I shared earlier about the conservative who was traveling Colorado speaking to Republican and conservative groups to convince them to vote for Prop 113 because it ensures one person, one vote and restores Colorado's competitiveness. I still believe there are merits on both sides of the issue, but the crux of the problem is that the general public and politicians both don't really want to do the more time-consuming and difficult work to make the system work as it should. Our Executive Branch has too much power, tossing out E.O.s like candy, and stocking courts with unqualified, possibly partisan judges in order to get their way on issues rather than Congress working together to compromise and pass legislation for the better of us all. Until we fix that, doing things like abolishing the Electoral College are only a superficial band aid, not a solution to the problem.
