Joe Stengel knows the future

After the election, HD38 Repub. Repre. Joe Stengel famously said that Colorado has become a blue state. It seems that Stengel has foretold the end of his own career.

Consider that many pro-C Republicans have focused their backbiting not on Jon Caldera, but on "Rep. Joe Stengel. Stengel, many of them said, was the most dishonest of the NO camp and has apparently burned several of his bridges as a result." (Coloradopols.com, 11/3)

And now consider that Mr. Stengel's likely replacement, Lt. Col. Joe Rice, is currently serving in Iraq. Rice recently wrote an email home that speaks to his desire to work hard here and abroad: "Stay the commitment, change the course."

So Rice is in Iraq staying positive and working for change under grueling conditions. While Stengel is back home getting attacked from within his own party and grousing about how Colorado has become a blue state. I think the future is looking pretty good for the Democrats in 2006.
