6. Aw such fun

to be a Democrat in beautiful blue Colorado right now. I moved here in 1975 partly because we had a good governor and Democrats who loved their environment and were working to stop the Olympics coming to Colorado. For many years I worked hard for the Dems and progressive policies like universal health care but Big Money from Big Oil, Coors, Denver Post and right wing Repugs too often prevailed. Never thought we could flip both houses with great liberal young people and elect the nation's first gay governor. Took a century after being governed by the Ku Klux Klan but won't be long til even Weld County will care more about Colorado than the money from Big Oil and gas.
