...This initiative is being financed by Californians who want to try it in Colorado instead of their own backyard," says Katy Atkinson, a Denver political consultant who heads Coloradans Against a Really Stupid Idea. Atkinson and other opponents of 36, including Republican Governor Bill Owens, accuse Democrats of trying to steal votes for Kerry. They also believe future candidates will not bother to campaign in Colorado if they're only going to win a portion of its nine votes. The amendment, however, has some popular appeal. A Rocky Mountain News poll conducted last month found 47% of respondents supported...
