There is a reason CO went for Obama in 08, and that reason is Republican Governor Owen. Owen was someone quite to the right of Romney, none-the-less, his liberal tendencies completely destroyed the conservative Republican movement in CO. We have have a few unorganized pockets. That left the state wide open for any Liberal to take. And take they did.

I wonder how many of Obama's voters in 2008 even knew who the governor was. All they knew was, they were tired of Bush and they were not racist and Zero was their big chance to prove it.

My sister lives in the Springs. After the 2008 election, she emailed me extolling the idealism of her college age daughter getting out and voting for the Won.

These days, her emails are mostly a steady stream of forwarded, supposedly shocking brand-new anti-Obama screeds that are long since familiar to me.

That sort of was my point.

Owens turned the Republican party into a meaningless mush that no one gave two hoots about.
