archivesHANDICAPPING COLORADO'S LEGISLATIVE RACES
Colorado's party primaries are less than a month away. That means campaign season will soon be in full swing, and there's a lot at stake for the parties in this year's state legislative races. In 2004 the Democrats won control of both the state house and senate for the first time in four decades - but their lead is small. They have a one seat edge in the Senate and a five seat margin in the house - so if the Republicans can win take just four seats, they could win both legislative bodies back.
Sam Fuqua, the news director at KGNU in Boulder recently handicapped key house and senate races with John Straayer, the Colorado State University professor who literally wrote the book - his "The Colorado General Assembly" is a standard text in local political science classes.
