At this point, the 2014 Colorado governor's race is too close to call, with 42 percent for Democratic Gov. Hickenlooper and 41 percent for former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, a possible Republican challenger. | |
In other possible matchups, Hickenlooper gets 42 percent to 40 percent for Secretary of State Scott Gessler, and gets 43 percent to 37 percent for State Sen. Greg Brophy. | |
By a slim 47 - 43 percent margin, Colorado voters approve of the job Hickenlooper is doing. Voters are divided 45 - 44 percent on whether he deserves reelection. Voters also are divided in their opinion of the governor, with 45 percent favorable to 42 percent unfavorable. | |
Tancredo gets a split 32 - 29 percent favorability with 37 percent who haven't heard enough about him to form an opinion. | |
For Gessler, 74 percent don't know enough to form an opinion. Brophy gets an 86
percent 'don't know.... The former US House Representative has very extreme views in regard to immigration reform. If elected Governor he would lead an assault against immigration and seek deportation as a resolve in balancing Colorado's budget. Tancredo has been quoted in interviews from 2010 stating if the immigrants in Colorado were removed it would bring about tax relief for every Colorado citizen.

Governor Hickenlooper should be pointing out to Colorado's Hispanic and Latin citizens the perils of not voting. He should seek to empower them to register and vote. He also needs to provide information on his position on immigration reform and that of his opponents. Good luck, the minorities in Colorado need the Governor to continue to empower them.

Self deportation works for Mr. Tancredo. Make it difficult to be here and the numbers go down.
