I have a moment of terror about '06
Supposedly, this is a great time to be a Democrat in Colorado. The Vast Left Wing Conspiracy is swamping the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. And Jay Fawcett is positioned to pull an upset in Colorado Springs.
For months, I've been congratulating the CDP for finding moderate candidates like Bill Ritter, John Salazar, Bill Winter and Joe Rice. And wondering if the GOP was committing suicide by purging moderates and nominating extremists like Mike Kopp, Matt Dunn and Doug Lamborn.
But what if the voters don't pay attention to the candidates or the issues? What if they just check the name with the (R) after it? What if we run our best against their worst and still lose?
We'd be left with a Colorado much redder than the state of even a few years ago. Welcome back runaway deficits, chickenhawk leaders and Big Brother-government.
They say that every crisis is an opportunity in disguise. But the reverse is also true. If we can't seize the opportunity presented in 2006, our state will be plunged into a crisis from which it might never recover.
Keep the hammer down.

I voted a straight blue ticket for the first time in 2004. I'll do the same in 2006 ... but this time I have yard signs and will do some time on the street.
Just keep doing [b]the right thing[/b] and let the future take care of itself.
