What an aweful legislator he was

and does this mean he's not running for re-election? Boy will that ray of sunshine not be missed.

Of course he would have the support of those from the far right Party of Denial. This is the same group of radicals who want to deny health care, deny public education, deny global warming exists, and deny Iraq is a mess. Those are winning issues for Harvey!

Won't recommend the candidate

But I can at least recommend the diary. Thanks for the info.

Harvey isn't exactly the shining beacon of light in the Senate that I'd hope for in a Congressional candidate... Is he term-limited or up for re-election in '08?

Harvey is in his 1st term...

... as a state Senator. He was elected in 2006.

That doesn't answer the question,

so let me put it another way. Is he going to run for Congress, as well as for State Senator as a back up so he doesn't have to leave politics if/when he loses the primary?

Is he a carreer politician?

...

You're clearly not listening, or you just don't know anything about the state legislature.

State Senate terms are four years long.

Harvey was elected in 2006, which means his current (and first term) won't end until 2010.

No...

Joe Peters isn't nearly as conservative as I am.

If he's serious

about running for Congress against Coffman, he could resign that seat.

Agree with you most...

of the time, but not on this.

Diana DeGette didn't resign her seat when she ran for congress. Mark Udall didn't resign his seat to run for congress (he also hasn't resigned his seat to run for Senate). Neither of the Brothers Salazar resigned their day jobs when they ran for their current offices.

Actually...

John Salazar did resign his seat in the State house to run for Congress, mostly due to the distances between Denver and CO-3.

Thank you,

and I'll stop playing devil's advocate since I already know the answer.

Say NO to Theocrats.

This is America. Ted Harvey's running for King of the Taliban.

food for thought

so nostalgic! I remember the article I found by mp3 search saying that he has claimed on his website and in literature that he was CRTL's "Legislator of the Year," and otherwise implying strong support from CRTL. The "Legislator of the Year" designation is true, but at the same time deceptive. That award was for a previous year, when he skewered pro-abortion Democrats on the House floor in a nationally publicized speech regarding Ms. Giana Jessen -- the young lady who survived a saline abortion, but who now suffers from abortion-related Muscular Dystrophy. We still applaud Ted for his action on that day, but it is inappropriate and unethical that he would imply our support and endorsement, when he knows he does not agree with our uncompromised stance on legislation.
