Shit. This is the second poll to show a close race. I'm getting worried.

1. Tom Tancredo (C)

What's the "C" for?....crazy?

5. Constitution Party. And crazy...

Still this poll/pollster is Republican leaning, so no need to worry. Hickenlooper will be fine, and as an added bonus, if Maes (the Republican) finishes under 10% then the Republicans in CO get treated like a third party in 2012. Sounds good to me.

6. The pollster isn't "republican leaning"... it's an actual republican firm.

Which is interesting since they show almost no support for the republican nominee. :)

so no need to worry. Hickenlooper will be fine

As long as the republican stays in the race, yes.

as an added bonus, if Maes (the Republican) finishes under 10% then the Republicans in CO get treated like a third party in 2012.

Which is why the republican will stay in the race.

2. unfortunately....

i know way too many people hear in CO cheering Tancredo and his racist policies on.

Scary times we live in. We're about to revert culturally back to first half of the 20th century. :banghead:

4. With fucking idiots like Tancredo, Angle, O'Donnell and Iott it won't.............

........be the 1st half of the 20th century, try more like 1650. The rest of the world must be laughing their asses off at us. Europe, since WWII has gotten more progressive and we've turned into Germany circa 1933.

3. I am an agnostic, but "god help us". Save us from all these crazy motherfuckers.

7. I'm hoping that the pollster is underestimating the turnout in Hispanic southern Colorado.

Hoping that their likely voter screen assumes that Hispanic voters outside Denver won't feel involved. Hickenlooper's choice of running mate should have changed that.
