3. I honestly don't think we can take back either chamber
I feel like we are currently too far behind and at a disadvantage due to the favoritism the voters show incumbents and because of gerrymandering as far as the House is concerned. I do, however, feel that we will make at least small gains, and possibly some significant ones which will put is in striking distance in 2008, particularly since that year the Republicans will have more Senators up for relection than we will.

With that in mind, and since I live in one of the safest Repub. districts in America, I will be directing my efforts to electing a Democratic Governor of Colorado and retaining our majority in both houses of the legislature (again, I don't know what I can really do about that since my districts are so heavily Repub.) A vote for a Dem. Gov in El Paso county is as good as one from any part of the state though! Gotta help Denver, Boulder, Pueblo, the SW and the I-70 corridor!
