Any word on the Colorado recall votes?

1. Looks 50/50.

One recall wins one loses.

2. Morse is losing with about 50% in, Giron looks better, fewer votes in.

Last I checked.

[Koko Ware]

5. 70% in,

Morse is losing at 47.2% - but could quickly make it up with the remaining 30%.

Giron will survive. All the Republicans accomplish is looking like asses, while we elevate Morgan Carroll to do the work, and then see to it that Morse's replacement is kicked out when the term is up.

So all they have accomplished is squat. And also pisses more taxpayers off with the silly shit. We taxpayers ought to stick the bill of the entire recall process to the NRA/Republican Party and have them pay the bills, past due, with collectors ready to be released.

6. Morse's replacement, Republican Bernie Herpin, looks like a real bagger.

This whole thing is not a win for us.

TPM posted earlier that this would backfire on the NRA: http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2013/09/colorado-recall-election-guns.php

I don't know for certain which source will turn out to be right.

7. But if Morse is out, it just makes it a 3 Democratic majority on the Senate side

and the next Speaker would just be more liberal than Morse.

So it's a lose-lose for Republicans while Herpes gets nothing done for the constituents because he doesn't know how.

3. The CO Secretary of State posts unofficial tallies:

Which will become official when they're done...
