Wendy over at Colorado Confidential points us to an NPR interview of Andrew Romanoff, the Democratic Speaker of the Colorado House of Representatives.
Why Andrew Romanoff?
As the 110th Congress prepares to convene on Thursday, NPR's Weekend Edition host Linda Wertheimer talked to Colorado Speaker of the House Andrew Romanoff about the parallels of the democratically-controlled U.S. House with the Colorado House in 2004.
In '04, the Colorado Dems retook both the state House and the state Senate for the first time in 40 years, ending Republican dominance of government.
This past '06 election they increased their majorities in both state Houses, and took the Governor's mansion from the Republicans as well. Democrats in Colorado have gone from wilderness to Trifecta in just 2 short political cycles.
Now do you see why perhaps what Romanoff says matters?
