I live in Weld county and although becoming a new state would be somewhat exciting I also find it pretty difficult to weigh the pros and cons of the proposed split. Sure it probably won't happen but as a registered independent with a slight lean to the right I often find myself stepping back and thinking this old swing state is really tearing itself apart. I enjoyed when Coloradans could coexist as statesman with the liberals in their counties and conservatives in theirs offering a much more diversified state as a whole. It's a shame to see this state of extremes becoming so flattened by overreaching city policies.
With the type of environment the state has I'm still puzzled how it became so far to the left in some places.
