Colorado went blue tonight. Congrats to Bill Ritter, our new Governor. And to Diana DeGette (maybe the next House whip) and Mark Udall who won reelection handily.

And one of my favorites, Ed Perlmutter, beat Bush-Cheney favorite Rick O'Donnell for the open seat in Colorado's 7th Congressional District, being vacated by Republican Bob Beauprez who just lost to Bill Ritter.

Beauprez is out of politics for now, and none too soon in my view.

Colorado started going blue in 2004 when the state legislature changed hands. Looks like the mood stuck around.

    Go Colorado! (none / 0) (#1)

    With news like that, I'm almost willing to move back to Colorado.  Well, except that I'm from Colorado Springs, which is still way too fundy for me. I don't mind libertarian leanings - its the religious right that gives me the creeps.

    My little sister met Ritter at a party, and apparently he is charming and didn't mind at all that she had no idea who he was.  :)
