Yet Obama won by 21 votes, but all local Republican candidates won. This means Obama is winning Independents by at least 20 points or more. In fact, More Republicans voted in Colorado as a whole than Democrats (50 thousand), but Obama won the election by 5 points and 125 thousand votes. <br /><br />If that is not bad enough, over half the voters in our county are over 50 and over 90% of the population is White in a rural setting. No Dem should ever win here. <br /><br />I met with the county GOP outreach team again earlier this month including talking one on one with our Colorado House Rep Jim Wilson. So far there is no interest, but they are trying to figure out which demographics they should talk to. I told them Independent White Married Women over 50 and Independent White Single Males over 50. They wondered how I came to that conclusion and I showed them, but they still are not interested.

I don't get that.<br /><br />Now that you've done all the work maybe you should go back and see if your local GOP now sees the value of it.CWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18093393578438689105noreply@blogger.com
