Colorado is an interesting state when it comes to politics. Everything
there is one extreme or the other. I tried to find a reasonable voice
on the radio or television and it was not to be found. Everybody is
yelling past each other. But to this recall, it's easy to explain. The
progressives that could have stopped it were too busy getting stoned
on their now legal pot.
