A quick rundown of the top five election 2018 races in Colorado
Happy to send a little traffic to the new online Colorado Sun (see this post announcing its formation with alumns from the unfortunate purge at the Denver Post: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100211116966https://coloradosun.com/2018/09/04/2018-races-to-watch-colorado/
What you need to know about the biggest races in Colorado this election cycle
Governor’s race: Democrat Jared Polis v. Republican Walker Stapleton
--snip--
Polis remains the presumptive front-runner as the deep-pocketed millionaire running in an election year that favors Democrats in a state that has elected one Republican governor since 1975.
WHAT TO WATCH: Both candidates start from a weak position, struggling to connect with voters and answer questions about how they will actually accomplish (and pay for) their priorities if elected. The candidates can do better, or the campaigns can go negative and turn the races into a lesser-of-two-evils scenario.
