Where else in America can the state symphony hook up with the marijuana industry and bring classical music to Red Rocks?
If they want to keep it amazing they better register and vote.

(15,799 posts)GOTV, that is. Registering voters, pounding the pavement, knocking on doors, making phone calls, writing letters, sending out mailers, arranging events . . .
His smarmy commentary to the contrary, Cory Gardner does have an uphill fight. Happily, Udall is an experienced mountain climber; Gardner's used to having the skids greased, but skids tend to move stuff downhill...

(3,003 posts)So sad that we're having to invest our resources into holding onto our Senate seats in blue states that we can't focus on defending our seats in numerous red states where Democratic incumbents are up for re-election. Polls over the last week or so now have Pryor (AR), Landrieu (LA), and Begich (AK) falling further behind.
Important to remember...if we do lose the Senate, but the Rethugs only have a 51-49 majority, we have an excellent chance of winning back the Senate in 2016 when we get rid of the tea-baggers who got elected back in 2010 (IL, WI, PA, and NH will all be ripe for the picking). However, if we lose our seats in MI, IA, or CO, the Republican majority may be too high for us to overcome in '16.
Get out and VOTE this Nov. 4 as if your life depends on it...because it DOES.
