and will donate when it's time. She already has people from other states wanting to support her. We'll see if Boebert makes it past the investigation into the insurrection.

Still, Boebert won by 6 points, and everyone knew she was nuts.

She is certainly vulnerable in an increasingly more blue district.

That was before the 2010 Census and redistricting.

I loved in Alamosa for a while, which at the time was a blue area, and may well still be. But that district was not the same map as the district today. Enough people moved into the Denver Metro area that they got an extra seat or two, and a whole lot of red was wrapped up with those relatively blue areas which Salazar represented.

Just another reason why I drive people nuts pushing for GOTV in years ending in 8 and 0 to get into a favorable position for fair redistricting..

I certainly wish her the best of luck, and I strongly believe she will need it.

Had their act together when the nut beat Tipton in the primary. Missed a chance for a flip and got a whacko.
