Beau – Let’s talk about Colorado, the GOP, and trends…. (Heaven knows want a more progressive Demoratic Party. But I don’t think that’s necessarily going on state wide. I would look first at the caucus system becoming less important, and the flexibility that being unaffiliated in Colorado gives voters to vote in whchever primary they would prefer to vote in. I also think, though I may be wrong, that there is actually aparty on Colorado called the Independent Party which people who don’t realize it exists may get attached to unless they specifically say “unaffiliated. In any case, we do have a small Green PArty and a small LibertarienPartyand,though small, their numbers should be included in a discussion like this.)
