I've decided that I'm going to go ahead and vote for Dawn Winkler. After the republicans banded together to rush that bill through that lets the president refuse trials to "terrorists" (they never did define what a terrorist is) I've lost a lot of faith in them. The democrats are just as much at fault, though. They let it go through and no one could come up with an intelligent argument when they were hammering out the bill. It's really a shame that Ritter is going to be our next governor. I really really really don't like him. Maybe Dawn will get a big enough chunk of votes that people will start taking the libertarian party seriously, at least in Colorado. We need it to happen badly.
O'Donnell's still got my vote for District 7. The only thing that I see Perlmutter doing is putting signs up in people's yards. It seems like his goal in this election is to piggy back on Ritter's success and try and associate O'Donnell with Bush. I did get a flier in the mail where he was trying to bash O'Donnell for a paper that he wrote 12 years ago. At the time he wanted to do away with social security. He's obviously changed his mind about that since then but Perlmutter is still trying to push the issue. On the front of that flier there was a picture of O'Donnell shaking hands with Bush. Unfortunately since most voters don't bother educating themselves about their candidates it'll still buy Perlmutter some votes :evil: .
I'm definately voting for Mink in Jeffco.
