Tom Tando (no Cred) is Resigning

We in Colorado's sixth congressional district have a golden opportunity before us, the chance to be represented by a more than one trick pony. Tom (no cred) Tancredo has announced that, regardless of the outcome of his Presidential campaign, he will step down.

Now Colorado's Sixth has never been held by a Democrat, not surprising, since it was only created after the 2000 census gave us another seat. The demographics of the district, particularly western Arapahoe county, have changed, giving us a chance to pick up the seat.

I certainly hope so. It would be nice to be represented in Washington for a change. Our Congressional delegation consists of Tancredo and Senators Wayne the Torturer and DINO Ken Salazarasaurus. Not much of Nosy's interests being furthered in the Beltway Vacuum these days. Picking up the seat would give us some well-needed representation in Washington and I understand we have a candidate. Since I can't find him on Google and verify that he's announced, I won't give out his name.

What happened to the CD6 Blog? The Progressive one? At any rate, there's some hope - our State rep converted from the Dark Side and we have a shot at Tando's (no cred, remember) seat. Life is good in CD6.
