With Republican Senator Wayne Allard's announced retirement at the end of this term, Colorado immediately shoots to the top of Democratic pick-up targets come 2008. Democrats already hold the other seat in one of 2004's rare bright spots, and are coming off a wave of House pickups, as well as a surprisingly dominant win in the gubernatorial race in the 2006.
While it may be too early to start calling this seat for the Democrats, it is true that the Colorado GOP is in dire straits (and do not have a clear candidate for this race). The big question on my mind is, with the DNC being held in Denver, will the Rocky Mountain state be in play in the Presidential election?
