10 Democratic accomplishments according to Coloradopols.
10. Managing to not screw up after having been in the minority for the better part of 40 years.

9. Not letting the GOP seize control of the rhetorical agenda or paint the Dems as anti-business.

8. Making progress on reducing the costs of prescription drugs for people and health insurance for small businesses.

7. Getting away, unscathed, with using the same draconian tactics GOP majorities used against Dems in previous years.

6. Not posing for another goofy, front-page newspaper photo in a 60s vintage Corvette.

5. Making sure Norma Anderson's attempt to undermine Joan Fitz-Gerald's right to seize control of the gavel at the beginning of the session backfired like a 60s vintage Impala.

4. Keeping the Mike Miles wing of the party from taking the Democratic caucus on journey to "one-term land."

3. Voter-verified paper ballots.

2. Successfully maneuvering the Gov. to support fixing the TABOR disaster (something I never thought he would do)..

1. FINISHING THE SESSION EARLY!!!!!

1. Mike Miles wing of the party?
I can guess where this list came from....one last dig at Mike, overwhelmingly supported by the people but not the party leaders.

2. Other than a relatively small and active contingent, who are these people?
No offense, but that seems a little bit of an overstatement.

3. Last year the GOP spent the whole session on nonsense leaving budget fixes
unfinished. Congratulations Dems!!!
