Blogger Notes

- Here are the remainder of the presidential election numbers. I've bolded the elections in which Colorado voted BLUE/Decomratic. I've started to compile an Exel spreadsheet just to organize things a little better. Anyone know if you can add attachments to blogs? I'll start digging for historical significance behind the BLUE votes this week. CHJ
