Big problem.

Solution: mail in ballot. Click this link to get a Colorado mail in ballot.

Even if you think 20 minutes isn't bad, when you see the inevitably horribly long lines this monster ballot will cause you'll be wishing you could  row the ballot in. From Quebec]]></description>

This debate should be a snickery good time, and I intend to take in its full glory at Hamburger Mary&#8217;s (700 E. 17th Street) Debate Watch Party tonight from 6:30-9PM.  
Happy hour runs during that time, as does Margarita Madness. 
So let&#8217;s get margarita mad and fired up for this VP debate-a-palooza!
