What do "they" say about the House?

I think you don't know Colorado at all Rod.   Here is some real estate in Lauren's district, and I'll bet you dollars to donuts it isn't owned by white trash Maga types:

And while I've got you on the line, what the heck is up with California?  They count votes by hand there or something?

Some more white trash hovels from Lauren's district (which actually covers about half the state and some of the most sublime places on Earth.)

Couple of more days like today in the market, and I might just buy one of these so I can vote against your gal Lauren in two years!  shocked

But seriously, western Colorado has ski towns, ranching towns, and mining communities.  Lots of Hispanics.  Lots of CA and TX money.  Lots of near ghost-towns.  It is a great melting pot of the rich, the poor, and the middle, all set in the beautiful mountains.   You hear a lot about gerrymandering.  I know that the Ds in CO are famous for it.  But Lauren's district, the 3rd, is as diverse and competitive as any in the country.

She obviously overplayed the Trump-theatrics and her constituents might make her pay.  It is hard to say.

We took our kids to a Purdue football game several years back.  Both me and Ms. B are alumni.  Steel grey sky and freezing drizzle of course.  The kids, born and raised in Colorado, kind of look at us as if to say, "you guys went to school here on purpose?"

Rich always questions my support of our Gov. Polis.  I would trade him for Whitmer, but still, he is not that bad.  Midwestern Democrats are usually pretty reasonable people.

It's one of those things Jim.  Rich appears to think he gets under other folk's skin far more often than he does.  (When Rich actually angers someone it is quite obvious to a casual reader, since the rest of us (not Rich) are honest about it.)   This inflated sense of impact that Rich has is just the way he's wired.  Kind of like his total and inexplicable inability to admit that he was wrong in the odds sub-thread.

Hi Dave, 

Walker v. Warnock won’t matter come Monday, maybe before.  I’ll start a new thread.  Jim
