1. Aw!

[olegramps]

13. I lived in Colorado for 79 years until we relocated to FL due wife's health.

While I enjoy the Florida weather, I still miss home. Colorado is a progressive state with very little racial animosity. I went to school for kindergarten to though high school in totally non-segregated classes. Our neighborhood was a nice middle class mixture of every race. We got along just great. I wish Polis the best. I met him a couple of times when I was helping out a the precinct. I assure you he is a just a genuine nine guy.

2. Awesome...

Proud to have voted for Jared Polis!

[AlexSFCA]

3. huge deal

to put it in perspective, even SF never had lgbt mayor. Colorado is becoming one of the greatest states to live.

[FlightRN]

7. Beautiful family!

[rusty fender]

8. Sweet!

Never thought I’d see the day

[Honeycombe8]

9. Am I bad if the first thing I noticed was the cute dog?

And then...whaaaaa? A gay couple? With kids? (and that adorable pup)

I thought Colorado was conservative.

Who would've thought?

12. I would have thought!

My chosen home since 1969. Super wonderful place to live, with incredible beauty. West side is pretty conservative, East side more liberal. But, state always tries to do the right thing. First to legalize marijuana (and I'm not a user). Sometimes choices are misunderstood, but most folks look hard at issues.

My husband and I were laughing at the maps last night: A big blue rectangle in a sea of red!

15. Much like the rest of the country

Colorado's progressives cluster themselves in college towns and cities, as well as the resort areas: Boulder County, Denver County, Pitkin County, Summit County, parts of Larimer County. But even Grand Junction is becoming a hair more progressive as more millennials are moving there.

27. Some parts are. Colorado Springs is home to FOTF. they can't be happy.

39. Oh, my. What is that place?

The first thing I thought of was Stepford. Do people live there? Or is it just an entertainment place, to spend the day? Creepy.

[Funtatlaguy]

41. Right wing religious think tank.

[debsy]

10. Way to go, Colorado!

What a beautiful family!

[William Seger]

11. Needs more dogs, but other than that...

I'm very proud of my state today.

[jayschool2013]

14. I gotta move back.

Just need a single-payer option in the state, Jared, pal. Then my Colorado PERA will be enough to hold me over til I'm 65. Make it happen, governor, and I'll be back in a heartbeat.

[SunSeeker]

16. Lovely!

[TlalocW]

17. Has anyone checked on Gordon Klingenschmitt?

I imagine he's stroking out about now.

28. I think he exploded a long time ago.

I don't hear much from him for the past oh, 3-4 years, and I think I like it that way since he was kicked out as a state rep a few years back.

[IrishEyes]

18. Looks like a lovely family.

Colorado is looking like a good place to possibly move to. I'm tired of living in NYC and trying to pick a new place.

[Amimnoch]

19. Never would have believed it.

If just 10 short years ago you'd have told me that this was happening in my lifetime, I'd have laughed in your face.

Total tears of joy.

[trickyguy]

20. This is a totally exciting moment for the LGBT community. We welcome Jared and his family.

[deurbano]

21. This is why the New Confederacy (under Jefferson Davis Drumph) will NOT prevail.

[Soxfan58]

22. What a nice family!

[SCantiGOP]

23. Good for them

I have e a niece who lives in Colorado with her family. She is a teacher and votes straight Dem for that and healthcare issues.
She is not a political junkie, but keeps up with the news. I talked to he last night and she was not aware that her new Gov was gay! Apparently that wasn’t a big issue in the campaign. That is encouraging news.

[Autumn]

29. I didn't know until 3 days ago, they are a beautiful family. We in Colorado

have been very lucky for the last 8 years with our last Governor Frackenlooper, whom I admire very much except for that one little Fracking fault. Now Governor Polis will ensure we have another great 8 years.

[SCantiGOP]

33. That's not all you've been lucky about

You’re not part of South Carolina

I love coming to visit in CO, which I do at least once a year. My baby is getting married next year after graduation and will be joining her Airman husband in Colorado Springs (scary right-wing place), so I will have more reason to visit.

SC did have its one moment last night. After every statewide office and Congressional seat went red with at least 57%, we pulled an upset in the Charleston district on the crazy woman that Trump got to primary Mark Sanford.
Several times today I’ve heard amazement that we flipped seats in Utah, Kansas, Oklahoma and South Carolina.
A rare blue letter day for us.

[Autumn]

35. The only thing scary here in Colorado Spring is the traffic. It's probably not as

scary right-wing as much as you have heard. Fuckus on the Famiy is here but they are a joke. There are some good Liberals here and for the most part even the conservatives aren't that bad. It's pretty much a rah rah military town.

[SCantiGOP]

38. I live in an area

with a Pentacostal Church at every intersection.
I haven’t been to C Springs yet but look forward to visiting my daughter there.

[Autumn]

40. Wow, I'd have to slit my wrists, I couldn't take that

[Dem_4_Life]

25. Awesome!

[Cha]

26. Good on my home state Colorado!

Thank You, madame!

[JudyM]

30. Very cool.

[dawg day]

31. Wonderful!

It is amazing how much difference a decade makes. Imagine that in 2008 (before Barack's election).

[eleny]

32. I'm so happy to be so blue!

But I don't think all the Dem wins have sunk in yet.

Lovely pic, madamesilverspurs!

[madamesilverspurs]

34. Can't take credit for the pic,

it's being shared all over Facebook. But it most certainly IS lovely!
