Sen. Wayne Allard (R-CO) has announced that he will not run for a third
term. This open seat will be the Democrats top target because Colorado
has been trending Democratic. Despite President Bush's narrow win here
in 2004, a Democrat, Ken Salazar, was elected to the Senate in that year
and another Democrat, Bill Ritter was just elected governor in 2006 by 15%.
Furthermore, the Democrats expanded their majorities in both houses of the
state legislature. They also picked up a House seat in 2006 and have a
4-3 majority in the congressional delegation now.
This page is the prototype for 2008. The data and map will refer to previous
elections until serious polls begin in 2008. The blog will be updated when
there is interesting news about the 2008 races.
