Colorado says "Thanks, but no thanks, Ms. Palin"

Thanks to all of you who believe in and are advancing the Colorado Women Against Palin cause - to send the message that Gov Palin does not represent us! Pat yourselves on the back because your activism is working. It's far from over though, ladies. We have a lot more work to do. Stay tuned as we will be sending out details on our upcoming events (namely WalMart rallies this Sunday and Race for the Cure).

A new Public Policy Polling survey in Colorado shows Sen. Barack Obama opening up his biggest lead yet in the state over Sen. John McCain, 51% to 44%.

Key finding: "Immediately after the Republican convention 41% of Coloradoans said John McCain's choice of Palin to join him on the ticket made them more likely to vote for him while 38% said it made them less likely to do so. Now the number of people saying Palin's selection makes them less likely to vote for McCain has climbed to 47% with the number of people viewing it favorably dropping to 38%."

"The movement over the last couple weeks has been particularly acute with independent voters. 56% of them say that the Palin choice makes them less likely to support McCain and what was a 49-38 lead for Obama with that group is now a 58-31 advantage."
