Will Colorado elect the next President?
According to the latest poll, Colorado is an important toss up state in this year’s election. The polls show that it is neither a red nor a blue state but a purple state. The latest article on 9News.com http://www.9news.com/news/article.aspx?storyid=97901&catid=188 shows that Colorado is going to be a battleground state this year.
The article goes on to say that the Colorado Democrat Party met at the Governor’s Mansion to talk about how to get the state to tilt towards electing Barack Obama. One comment targeted to Governor Bill Ritter about holding such a meeting in the Governor’s Mansion said, “To hold a partisan event at the Governor’s Mansion is simply not correct. Yet another poor decision by Gov. Ritter that will be brought back to the fore in 2 years.”
I totally agree with this comment.
Here is my take on why Colorado is a purple state right now. It’s not because of the split between Democrats or Republicans, it’s not because of the influx of Californians as suggested by another commentator, it IS about a lot more Independent voters who have no party affiliation that will make the decision this year.
I am an Independent with no party affiliation. I take the time to listen to both sides, research each candidate, listen to their debates – didn’t John McCain do awesome at Saddleback debate the other night! And then make up my mind on voting for the next President.
I don’t pay attention to the candidates’ ads on TV. These ads are all bias and have little or no meaning to me. I want a President who understands what we the people want. I want to drill for oil on our shores and land and be independent of foreign oil. I want to grow our economy with good jobs and opportunities. I want a leader that means what he says and says what he means.
How simple can it get?
Until later,
Linda
