Who Will Be Colorado's New Senator?

With all the recent attention on the Illinois debacle & the New York drama, I figured it would be nice for us to remember that Colorado will also soon have a Senate vacancy. So who would you like to see as Ken Salazar's successor?

How the West Can Be Won

In case you missed it, check out this gem in today's LA Times. Sen. Ken Salazar (D-CO) talks about his own experience getting elected in Colorado, and explains how Democrats win in the interior West (meaning the land between the Great Plains & the Pacific Coast states). It's a fascinating read.

Even though I'm one of those "Left Coast Californication Hippie Freaks", I understand that Democrats like Ken Salazar & Jon Tester don't campaign in the same way that Barbara Boxer & Patty Murray do. While environmental & natural resource issues and are also HUGE inland, one has to pursue this & other issues in a different way. But when Democrats get the "Western Mentality", Democrats win there just like they win here in The Golden State.

So anyways, take a look here & tell me what you think about winning The West.
