One of the seats the GOP looked like they were going to pick up is now back to a dead heat. Last two polls (Rasmussen, Buck +2) and (Fox, Buck +1) show this race much tighter, and that was before his latest gaffe. Buck said homosexuality was a choice and compared it to alcoholism on Meet the Press on Sunday.
Actually its three new polls, Reuters/Ipsos poll has it at 3 points, slightly larger than the others, but this one is closer than their last poll as well.
Remember, Colorado was supposed to be a bastion for the democrats after 2006 & 2008 - they thought they'd be set here for a while.
And surely you realize the polls WILL be tightening heading down to the wire.
As I said before, I'm not so sure winning the Senate would be a good thing for the GOP, apart from the fact that the odds are long and have been that way for a while.
If the GOP wins both houses, we might get a repeat of 2006 and obama would be able to use the GOP as his foil for his policy failures.
Call your friends and family everywhere! Get them out to vote. Two more years of NO is in the cards if we do not. The Repub objective is the WH in 2012, nothing else matters to them. Prevent everything including recovery is, and has been, their battle plan. They see extending the pain as politically good. Other than for a very small percentage, they have no interest working on behalf of the American people.

I think all the NEGATIVE publicity over some of the more....er....well, loony GOP candidates like Angle, Rand, and O'Donnell is having a nation-wide ripple effect.
People are wondering if the GOP hasn't gone off the deep end, in their quest for "acceptable social conservatives" as candidates?
Guess we'll all find out next month........................................

Well, Buck is looney enough in his own right! He claimed he was superior b/c he is a male. He originally supported the "personhood" amendment, which gives person status to a fertilized ovum, and could make some birth control devices and infertility treatments illegal in CO.
I know my older daughter will vote; I'll have to "encourage" the younger one to get it together to fill out her ballot. I know they'll both vote for Bennet b/c both are feminists and didn't like his "high heels" comment.
