Is Colorado Springs Red or Blue? (live, military, statistics)

[Canuck_in_FL]

I've heard that Colorado Springs is very conservative. Does that mean very Republican?

You can find the voter registation statistics by county at

Colorado Secretary of State

As of December 2007, in El Paso County there were 153,499 registered Republicans; 68,491 registered Democrats; 109,275 unaffiliated.

Last time I was there it was Brown, but then again, it was summer.

I think it's fairly White right now, though.

With all the military in Colorado, you have to say it's more republican then democrat.

While it is a pretty conservative city, there's lots of pockets of liberal people. I live near old CO City, probably the most liberal part of town.

Really? In the Summer it's actually green.

I would consider it Neo-conservative, not a true-conservative according to traditional values

Of course, thats the whole republican party now

Red, but we're working on it.

Does it really matter? I know that I dont get in political debates when cruising around my city.

It's actually purple.

That's what happens when people learn to think for themselves instead of allowing themselves to be driven like a herd of sheep by partisans from either the radical right or the radical left.
