Tomorrow's Primary

Tomorrow I'll be having dinner with a visiting cousin from Kentucky. There are no contested Democratic races in Colo. 40, Colo House District 6 and it's still two years before we can vote Allard the Torturer out. So I'll be going to a nice restaurant with visiting relatives.

In the loca race between Peggy Lamm and Ed Perlmutter, no decision. It's been a negative campaign, they all seem to be now. Down in House District 5, six wingnuts are duking it out to represent James Dobson and the upper 2% of El Paso County (Colorado Springs). No matter who wins, wingnut or Bush clone, that district is so solidly repugnant, I mean, Repugnica... No, Republican, that the poor Democrat has little chance except in the staunchly liberal district in and around Colorado College. In this year, I may be surprised.

Best news is an NPR poll I heard a few days back. In the 50 competitive house races, the Democrat is currently leading in all of them. By six percent. Talk about taking back control, that's a 35 seat majority if it plays out. It ain't over for a while and we still have a lot of work. Better still, it looks like Lieberman will be running as an Independent Repugnican with a chance to win in a three-way race. Controlling the Senate is a longer shot but one worth dreaming about. Imagine the hearings we could have (he rubs his hands in maniacal glee....).

So tomorrow, in Colorado as elsewhere, may the best Democrat win.
