Colorado could turn bright blue in 2006. Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Bill Ritter is putting up good poll numbers and it seems he’s got the momentum in this race. Give ‘em hell, Bill!

Remember, a strong Democratic Governor in Colorado means the Dems will have a great chance of winning the state in 2008. If you live in Colorado, get to work!

From the Denver Post:

Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Bill Ritter would probably defeat Republican opponent Bob Beauprez if the election were held today, according to a poll conducted for The Denver Post.

But Ritter’s edge is slim, leading Beauprez by only 7 percentage points, with 42 percent to the Arvada congressman’s 35 percent. The poll, conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling and Research, has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

The results are almost identical to a poll conducted for The Post in February, which showed Ritter leading Beauprez 43 percent to 37 percent.
