Pueblo County is going to be difficult, that’s been a Dem stronghold for a long time, part of a cluster of Hispanic counties into northern NM. It last voted Republican for President in 1972 (even Denver went Republican in 1980) and consistently voted against GOP Senate & House incumbents, nevermind legislative ones. Even if the recall is won, it may go back to the Dems in ‘14.
Yeah I checked out both districts on our campaigns.
Under previous lines (I don’t know how much they differ) in the good (well not all that good in CO) year of 2010, for what was an open seat, Giron (facing a Republican with a Spanish name) won by only 10 points in what I would have thought would be a safe rat seat. Her predecessor was unopposed in 2006 and won a landslide in 2002 over a Republican with an English name.
Morse crushed a Republican incumbent (who had narrowly won in 2002 with a Libertarian taking 9%) in 2006 and was narrowly reelected in 2010, with a filthy Libertarian taking more than the difference. His district is Colorado Springs.
Both seats are up in 2014, why not try to recall Senators that aren’t up till 2016 instead? Morse is the President but his removal would just be for one year and he’s term limited. It says these are first legislative recalls in State history. I don’t know how it works it’s like Cali or like Wisconsin but I hope we a candidate with the right kind of name in Giron’s district.
