The Virtus household are casting our ballots today, finally getting it over with. If you live in Colorado and still need insights and/or suggestions on the statewide ballot issues, please check out my updated Colorado ballot guide 2008. And now a joint message from a group of local bloggers:
AN URGENT MESSAGE TO ALL COLORADO REPUBLICAN VOTERS
From the Colorado Coalition of Conservative Bloggers
As you know, Colorado has been labeled a “swing”state in this year’s elections, and will be one of the states that will determine the direction of our nation for the next four or eight years. Historically, the voters in Colorado elected Republican candidates, largely because of the higher numbers of registered Republican voters. This Republican majority no longer exists. Today, “independent” or “unaffiliated” are more numerous than Republicans, and that is one of the primary reasons why Republicans were so unsuccessful in the 2006 elections. This year could be worse, but it is entirely up to you. We are urging each and every Republican voter in Colorado to exercise his or her right to vote to send Republican candidates to Washington and Denver to restore responsible government at both the federal and state levels.
Remember, it is up to each and every one of us. Together we can do it. For the good of Colorado, and for the good of America, we must stop the leftward trend that has come to monopolize our governments. But we cannot do it if we sit back on November 4 and fail to let our voices be heard. EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE!

SCHAFFER V. UDALL: 2008 COLORADO SENATE BATTLE
SLAPSTICK POLITICS
THE DRUM AND CANNON
Some-a us independents are former Republikans. A great many I’d guess. Will thar be any effurt t’ woo us baick, or is th’ GOP dead set ohn its journey t’ destrukshun?
Thangs ye mite thank ’bout:
1) Fully embrace th’ anti-illegal immigrant movement, ‘n caist off-iss fool notion att ye kin Republicanize Hispanics. Most Hispanics ‘r gonna vote Dem, world without end, Amen. Stop demographic suicide.
2) Send th’ neocons packin’. Their wars have been disastrous fir this here nation;
3) Re-embrace the cause of limited gummint ‘n states rights. Vigorously persue th’ consistent recognition of the 10th Amendment t’ th’ US Constitution;
4) Eschew globalism; revoke NAFTA ‘n its kin. ‘N no NAU!;
5) Figgur out a sound monetary policy. Dohn’t look like the current one’s it;
6) Seek t’ sepurate big money men ‘n the fedrul gummint;
7) Return t’ conservative principles broadly speakin’. ‘N att means comin’ t’ grips with th’ Southern tradition, ‘n realizin’ wut harm y’all did when ye marginalized th’ likes of M.E. Bradford. Defenestrate the likes-a th’ Claremont Cult.
Th’ last eight years, and th’ four years-a Bush I before ’em, were just pitiful. *Pitiful.* ‘N ’em years are largely t’ blame fir why conservatism is ohn th’ wane here in Colorader. So, ye kin either persue more of th’ same, or ye kin change.
