"Now with an updated epilogue about the 2010 elections."
This is the inside story of one of the most stunning reversals
of political fortune in American history. Four years ago, the GOP
dominated politics at every level in Colorado. Republicans held
both Senate seats, five of seven congressional seats, the
governor's mansion, the offices of secretary of state and
treasurer, and both houses of the state legislature. After the 2008
election, the exact opposite was true: replace the word Republicans
with Democrats in the previous sentence, and you have of one the
most stunning reversals of political fortune in American
history.This is also the story of how it will happen--indeed, is
happening--in other states across the country. In Colorado,
progressives believe they have found a blueprint for creating
permanent Democratic majorities across the nation. With discipline
and focus, they have pioneered a legal architecture designed to
take advantage of new campaign finance laws and an emerging breed
of progressive donors who are willing to commit unprecedented
resources to local races. It's simple, brilliant, and very
effective.Rob Witwer is a former member of the Colorado House of
Representatives and practices law in Denver.Emmy award-winning
journalist Adam Schrager covers politics for KUSA-TV, the NBC
affiliate in Denver. Schrager and his family live in the Denver
area. He is the author of "The Principled Politician: Governor
Ralph Carr and the Fight against Japanese Internment"
