According to them, the Dem and Republican have similar positions on most issues and on the ones where they differ, the Democrat is to the Right(!) of the Republican. This might actually be a race where the Conservative could win, though. I think the results here will definitely shift the relationship between the Republican Party in New York and the Conservative Party of New York. If the Democrat wins, I think the Republicans are forced to accept the Conservative's positions in order to get their candidates on both lines. If the Republican wins, then it may deal a significant blow to the Conservative Party prospects. If the Conservative wins, thigns get even more interesting. This would give the Republicans only one more seat than the Conservatives in Congress from NY... I think NY will lose two seats from the next Census and at least one of them will come from upstate, a lot will depend on who keeps control in the NY Senate.

It is very clear from these poll results that people are waking up to the fact that a big Federal government is not the path to a prosperous future. If the GOP figures this out they will have election success in 2009, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, etc..... More government = less freedom and freedom is what the American citizenry truly love(fear losing). Why don’t you just make “Freedom” the centerpiece of your election strategy?

CO-3 is primarily rural, and includes the cities of Pueblo, Montrose, Durango, and Grand Junction. According to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado%27s_3rd_congressional_district">Wikipedia</a>, the district has alternated Democrat and Republican over the past 100 years. The last Republican to hold this seat was Scott McInnis, who is now running for the Governor's seat. <i><b>THE</b></i> issue in this district is water rights. McCain lost Colorado over this issue alone, by saying water rights should be renegotiated (something Arizona desperately wants).

It would take a candidate with strong libertarian leanings to have a chance in that district. So far, I haven't heard of anyone like that stepping up. Salazar is very popular there.
