from colorado to idaho a few years ago (lived in CO since I was 2yrs) but still consider myself a CO person and long to return someday ( if I can get a job).

6. I suspect we may see another woman on a ticket.

Hillary Clinton will be on a ticket in either 2008 (if we win) or 2012 (if we lose), so it will be Dems. Besides, successful women scare many in the GOP.

Heck, there are quite a few who would like to see Mary Landrieu on the ticket this year. I'm all for that.
