1. I have family in Colorado and my cousin has nothing good to say about Cory Gardner

As for the red panda cubs, they are among the cutest animals, deserve their own thread!

2. Lots of news from Colorado this time around.

I hope that white supremacist is nowhere close to your relatives. It looks like he had his eyeballs tattooed black--that's enough to scare the bejeebus out of me.

3. My cousins grew up in Denver, but they all live in the suburbs now

But it does say the white supremacist's "whereabouts unknown." He sure is one scary guy!

And when he was in the House, Cory Gardner represented my cousin in Castle Rock. She had nothing good to say about him then...

4. A kick for the panda cubs! -nt

5. Bill Armstrong was Co.'s senator when I moved here in 1984.

He was a typical Republican; worthless. Democrats in my state have come a long way since then. Cory Gardner was a big step back, but I expect Clinton and Democrats to win big here in November.

Thanks for the news, Texas Towlie..

6. You're welcome.

I don't know anything about Armstrong, but his death is newsworthy no matter how people felt about him.

I'm glad to hear that Clinton and the Democrats are looking strong in Colorado this year--hopefully the same feeling will extend to some of the states nearby. I'm fairly sure that New Mexico will be blue and still think that Arizona and Utah could vote that way also since blue is on the opposite of the color wheel from orange.
