Colorado Democrat Senate Majority Leader John Morse concedes.
Colorado Democrats need a new senate leader. History was made tonight in Colorado as Democrat Senate Majority Leader John Morse was recalled for abridging Coloradans’s Second Amendment civil liberties. The tally is currently 52%-48%. According to Kelly Maher of Revealing Politics, Morse supporters need to “beat us two to one in remaining ballots.” Impossible.
It’s the first wave of legislative battles planned by citizens angry at state lawmakers who denied them a vote on their Second Amendment rights. As it stands now State Senator Angela Giron is narrowly ahead of her recall.
Morse conceded around 11:30 eastern time.
I’ve said this repeatedly: Colorado is ground zero for our gun rights. It is the litmus test for the country.
“Here’s the bottom line,” said Kurt Bardella, president and CEO of Endeavor Strategic Communications, which is consulting with the groups seeking to oust Morse and Giron. “What happens in one week will have significant implications for the overall debate on gun-control. … Lawmakers at every level of government see Colorado as a bellwether as to whether they can risk pursuing a more aggressive gun-control agenda.”
Maybe Morse can get a job with Michael Bloomberg’s anti-gun group. Colorado seems to be shifting from blue to purple.
Will develop with Giron results.
*UPDATE 1: Giron’s lead has flipped to a trail. 57%-43%
Great news! Way to go CO!!
BWAHAHAHAHA!
Lawsuits and injunctions to follow.
Morse needs to go buy himself a 44 oz. Big Gulp to celebrate.
Good news!
Re: Update - flipped from lead to 57 to 42?! That is astounding!!!
Proud of Colorado right now!
Excellent!

And Oh, by the way, Bloombug can stuff his money some place else.
Yes indeed!
In a state where they can legally bus people in and vote if they pretend to be moving there this is great
finally some good news
Wasn’t there a second person to be recalled also?
Now to find candidates to run against Linda Graham, John Boner, et al. If CO can do it, the rest of the country can too, ya think?
Just goes to prove what some motivated folks can accomplish.
Kind of like the 2,000,000 on their way to DC right now. Be great if that could be done with regards to all the scandals. Be interesting to see what Congress would do if they saw that many wanting answers on F&F, Benghazi, etc etc etc.
We might destroy Giron too! TAKE THAT PIERS MORGAN!
Giron’s toast too!!
