Immigration session leaves GOP leadership dazed, confused
I still think the special session is silly. But the political junkie in me has to smile at just how thoroughly Romanoff & Co. have outflanked their rivals. By proposing the nation's strictest, most comprehensive illegal immigration laws, the Democrats have left the Republicans with two choices:
1. Vote for the legislation and lose the wedge issue they'd hoped to ride in November.
2. Vote against the legislation and expose their own cynical, pandering hypocrisy.
It makes me giggle. It's a joyless, partisan giggle. But a giggle nonetheless.

This one appears to have backfired on right. Legislation, yes. Red meat ballot issue, no. Nasty words between Gov and his own party. Outside of the $75,000 in taxpayer money spent on this Republican hissy-fit inspired dog and pony show, a pretty good five days for our side.
This whole special session on immigration deal is absolutely vital to our society, as many people are interested in the issue. I support a candidate running in Colorado's 7th CD, Herb Rubenstein, who is the only candidate with an actual written plan on immigration. I think that more of Colorado's "leaders" need to do this as well if they wanna appeal to the public, because we want change!!
They're Dazed and Confused for so long it's not true. Wanted a wedge issue, never bargained for you.
