Meeker's more beautiful but less educated, I think. It's unfortunate, but you have to look at the reason a town is where it is. Craig and Meeker are coal mining towns. Highly educated people don't normally work in the mines. That's not to say they aren't intelligent, of course. My Ma & Pa're wicked smart...

Anyone? A highly educated "red" mountain town?
Good luck with that. That has long been my argument, why do educated people turn blue?

I wonder why anyone hasn't mentioned Weld County. We are represented by Musgrave.

That's true, but Musgrave *barely* squeaked by in a victory in C.D. 4 over Angie Paccione, whereas Doug Lamborn and Tom Tancredo both trounced their opponents in C.D. 5 and C.D. 6. Believe it or not, of the GOP representatives, Musgrave is relatively speaking the most moderate Republican representing us in this state, hard as that is to fathom.

Oh that is just scary considering Musgrave "moderate." She hates everyone who is not white, wealthy and heterosexual. Although I do have to give her some credit for joining local forces to get the Rocky Mountain National Park more proctected land and her work with the open land projects in northern Colorado. She still a nut case though.

That is true, she almost did lose. That was one of the ugliest races I have ever seen you talk about mud slinging - good God man.

Aren't all politicians inherently nut cases? Don't you have to be pretty well crazy to run for president? Just my $.02 worth ...
