It's that time of the American political season again. Leaves are falling and the weather is cooling, but the race for American Public Office is getting about as hot as it can be. Money is being spent at record rates, ads are becoming increasingly omnipresent, and the balance of the world as we know it, some would have us beleive, hangs in the balance. And it all comes down to this.
They tell us that eight to ten states hold all of this election's deciding power: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, Virginia, Wisconsin, and perhapsNorth Carolina, Michigan and Pennsylvania too. Some say that it's worse than that; they tell us that the key to 1600 Penn could be held in a handful of counties scattered across the nation. Usually included in these lists are Arapahoe, Panellas, Hillsborough, Orange, Hamilton, Stark, Franklin, Clark, and Prince William Counties.
Coloradans (and Coloradoans) should perk up at the news, it means that every political operative in the country is watching you this autumn, especially you, Arapahoe county. You look like you may get to decide the election, or blamed for it. We will be watching too, providing coverage of polls, rallies, visits, ad buys, and analysis of the great state of Colorado as this election season draws to its already long-overdue conclusion.
