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.

I assume that if they could, they would, so, using inductive reasoning, I will posit that the Colorado state constitution’s recall provisions are similar to the recall provisions in the Wisconsin state constitution in that they do not allow an officer who has served less than one full year of the term to be recalled. If you recall (HA!), WI Democrats first tried to recall WI Senators who were in the third year of their term, and it wasn’t until the next year that they could try to recall Governor Walker and the Senators that had been elected in 2010.
