Too bad we can't ad Kefalas and Ginal to the list. I've had email conversations wtih Kefalas - he is just really not quite all there. He's a "nice" guy but he just doesn't get the real world.

For instance I wanted him to look into changing state traffic laws - "that's a local issue" --- NO, it's not, it's STATE law I was talking about.

He was a lobbyist for Catholic charities and while he was running for office made a big deal about his abortion views - no big surprise he lost his job working for Catholics?!?! He also cheated on his income taxes, though he claims he's fully paid up now.

Here is an "objective" tweet from a CNN reporter:

Ashley Killough ‏@KilloughCNN
In Colorado recall, results so far show Angela Giron with a big advantage in Pueblo but John Morse is slightly behind

THERE is some unbiased reporting seeing that Morse conceded and Giron trails 43% to 57%..... No wonder Fox kicks their butt.

I too have noticed nothing in the media. Wonder what they will say if anything at all tomorrow.

 

[MagnumWill]

Oh yeah. This does NOT promote their ideals; hence, it didn't happen HEY EVERYBODY LOOK AT SYRIA!! LOOK AT MILEY CYRUS'S NEW VIDEO!!!



...clowns.

Good Work Colorado!

Watching with great interest from Minnesotastan.

Thanks for the updates, national news is not saying anything.

 

[MagnumWill]

Morse lost by less than 350 votes.



...sure does suck when the other side *just* sneaks something past you, huh?

 

[Ridgerunner665]

Giron seems to be losing ground fast...

I don't expect the media to give it very much attention...their side is losing.

 

[MagnumWill]

She's almost behind by 20 percent as it stands right now.



It sure feels good that my $40 to NRA-ILA just cost the richest man in New York six digits.

Hahaha, just heard Morse say this on 9news (regarding how he felt about the situation):

"If you lose your job, what's the big deal? There's lots of other things out there for people to do. I'm a CPA, so if you need a CPA, call." -John Morse.

 

[coloradokevin]

Morse lost by less than 350 votes.

Isn't that also the approximate number by which he won in the general election? If so, it would mean his margin of loss was even greater than his margin of win, since there were far fewer voters in the recall election. Good riddance!

I just hope Giron has to stand in line with him at the unemployment office.

 

[Ridgerunner665]

I'm gonna send the NRA-ILA some money next week myself...I feel like they've earned it.

Blumberger $350K per candidate did not work, it may have hindered.

This is great - wait - GREAT news guys!

Congratulations.

 

[PedalBiker]

I guess Bloomberg just wasted a whole pile of money.

 

[primalmu]

It's being reported on the front page of Huffington Post. Can't bring myself to read the whole article (like most HP articles), but I'm sure whatever they say is biased. They did mention that, collectively, Giron and Morse collected over $3 million, while proponents of the recall collected a comparatively meager $540,000.

 

[Coop45]

69% in 59.8 yes 40.1

 

[MagnunJoe]

Democrats still control state politics in Colorado!

 

[Trunk Monkey]

With 100% reporting John Morse has been recalled 51% to 49% Morse conceded at 930 pm

With 63% reporting in Pueblo Giron is behind with 60% voting FOR the recall and 40% voting AGAINST

 

[Saleen322]

2 for 2!

Well the other gun grabber is DONE!! This summary posted says it all...

Most votes counted. Recall effort (Giron) ahead by 4,100 votes. Insurmountable.

 

[Flfiremedic]

Yes 56%
No 43.9%
100 % reportingJob well done CO!

[primalmu]

Final numbers for Giron: Yes - 56%, No - 44%.
