  19. El Paso County (which is mostly Colorado Springs) voted about 2/3 in favor of
  20. amendment 2, 1/3 against.   There were about 50,000 more yes votes than no
  21. votes in the county.  However, the amendment passed by about 100,000 votes
  22. statewide, so you can't blame it all on Colo Spgs.
  23.  
  24. Besides, it was all those northern-Colorado-Springs residents that did it,
  25. not me...I live in the south end of town :-)

  27. If you want to boycott anybody, consider boycotting Perkins Chrysler-Plymouth
  28. and Colorado football.  The heads of both operations were prominent in the
  29. pro-amendment-2 movement.  What would happen if a large chunk of the
  30. CU student body stayed away from the next home game?  Or refused to buy
  31. tickets for next season?
