We have an open governor's race here, and with about 80% of the vote counted, turnout is about +85K for Dems, out of about 900K votes cast - almost 10%. This absolutely keeps CO-06 in play and Mike Coffman is not a happy man tonight.
And poor Darryl Glenn - going from the GOP nominee for Senate to coming in 2nd by 3-3 points in the GOP primary for a Congressional seat. He was running against an incumbent, but still, that's gotta hurt.
Colorado is a trap state... Trap because it is a complete waste of GOP money... If the GOP completely ignores them, they could win it when liberals destroy that state...
I was born and raised in Colorado, the state changed a lot, it was a natural movement, aided by the great migration of Californians, but without them the state was already in a liberal direction.
Colorado is a solid blue state now. There's nothing really news worthy about this except it confirms what we all know already.
No, it isn't.
The state senate is majority Republican, one of our two senators is a Republican and my district, while voting for Clinton in 2016, re-elected Mike Coffman (R) that same year.
Colorado is still purple.
As for the current races, I don't think that the Dem candidate for governor is a shoo-in by any stretch of the imagination.
Take or leave the polling, but while he was the favorite in the polls to win the primary, he was also the least electable head-to-head against the eventual R winner come November.
Considered most electable was the guy who came in third(!)
So, I wouldn't be counting any chickens just yet.
The only thing I do know for sure is that it's going to be a long, ugly campaign season.
I'm not counting any chickens, just pointing out that Dem turnout for the primary was significantly higher than GOP turnout.
Total votes so far 1.12 M (99% counted so probably not much change after this). 627, 839 Dem 493,445 GOP 56% Dem 44% GOP
It's not a poll, although in terms of raw numbers, Polis received about 44K more votes than Stapleton. How much of the remaining vote on each side stays with each side's nominee, and how much more can either party increase turnout in November?
It's by no means a lock for Polis, but to pretend that these results are anything but bad news for Stapleton and the Colorado GOP is disingenuous to say the least

And Clinton's support in my district should have been bad news for Coffman, but we know how that turned out.

Time will tell.
Biggest take away was voter enthusiasm.
