Mike Dunafon for Governor! Unaffiliated voters are starting to increase but Dems are steady at 32 just like their registration. The question is will unaffiliated's turnout and elect Dunafon or will Beau hold on. This is a two way race between Beauprez and Dunafon and the more folks are secure that Hickenlooper is definitely going to lose, the more that will be true!
