We’ll get into more of the details tomorrow, but three new names to discuss:

According to Pols:
According to today’s NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll:
I keep telling you guys… Kirk Nemer.
..but we still don’t know what he’s running for.
…when they agree to an interview 🙂
from Dan Maes’ website:
“To Dan, Tee Time has to do with small plastic dishes around a toddler sized table with pretend Tea rather than 5 hours away from family.”
Cory Gardner had all year to wrap this thing up. He couldn’t do it even with no competition (no offense, Tom Lucero). With Markey getting the blue-dog collar, she’ll be tough. If the GOP intends to make a serious run, it won’t be with Cory; it’ll have to be with someone else. “Madere” sounds good
If we think things are screwed up now, just wait until those folks get done with it. Coloradans will be moving to California!
sailing up the Platte, the Arkansas, and the Colorado to save Our Fair State.
He has made mistakes but he is a sharp individual and is doing some good things for his district.
The thumbs down by Pols has little to do with Polis’ performance. All Pols can bitch about is that the guy is rich and would be wiped out by a real Democrat the next time.
Earth to Pols: Jared Polis is a real Democrat and will probably be around much longer than Markey or Perlmutter. There is no organized competition from the left or the right in this race so from a purely political point of view, the line should be 1-1 because the guy is going to win in a walk.
I’d bet that Colorado Pols is more offended by Polis the person than Polis the politician and is letting his personal likes and dislikes color his political calculations. Rating this race as 4-1 and going down is a joke. Nobody should believe it and it throws all the other lines into question.
and I wholeheartedly agree.
Didn’t they also have Marilyn Musgrave at 2-1 about this time two years ago? Look where she where she ended up. POLITICAL GRAVEYARD! My point is a lot can happen between now and then, and pols predictions are sometimes way off the mark.
Musgrave didn’t have an opponent yet.
You’re letting your personal dislike color your view of him. That’s normal – you’re human like the rest of us. But Jared is doing a great job and has a ton of support in his district.
Like Gilpin Guy said – a 4:1 rating is a joke.
So personal opinion is not the issue.
To be consistent here, neither does Polis.
Good catch RedGreen.
name of Polis’ opponent?
It’s all one big conspiracy if you don’t agree.
Polis was a big problem on health care reform and had a major hiccup on net neutrality. Those are the kinds of mistakes that lose elections, but it won’t happen to Polis because he can self-fund to any degree necessary.
It’s that people are accepting of the fact that Jared is not going to toe the liberal line 100% of the time. I was mad at what he did on the health care funding stuff too – but that doesn’t mean I don’t support him.
but I agree with Pols at least in that Polis is lucky he’s both rich and in a can’t lose distict. I take the 4:1 as an indication of that.
and this is the first time I’ve noticed the slight Ritter up-tick from dead even with McInnis. Hope you’re right.
No outcry from the Romanoff supporters over the 20:1 rating in that race? What happened to all his diehard supporters?
Bennet haters certainly, but diehard Romanoff supporters?
is against Net Neutrality. If you are talking about the letter he signed and sent to FCC Chairman Genachowski, he didn’t see it as a bad thing. If anyone in Congress understands the potential and pitfalls of the Internet it is going to be Polis.
Here is the email I got from him on the subject on October 27th.
My district staff including Nissa Erickson made me aware of your interest in internet neutrality. My background in the internet content business gives me a special interest in maintaining a free and open internet. Open access is a critical governing philosophy to ensure the future growth and dynamism of the internet. That’s why I wrote a letter to the FCC in support of their pending net neutrality principles, a document that I also sought and received signatures of other members of Congress. I continue to educate my colleagues on this important matter and convince them of the importance of supporting net neutrality.
Congressman Jared Polis
FYI: Conspirators always claim there is no conspiracy. This constant harping about his wealth and claiming it is the only reason he got elected is a false narrative. If he had run the same campaign that Will Shafroth did promoting himself as a centrist he wouldn’t have won. He ran as a strong Democrat and it resonated with the Democratic base in district two. Colorado Pols doesn’t know what he is writing about when he claims that money is the only thing that Polis has going for him.
do remind, sure haven’t heard much from those Markey challengers lately. Maybe they’re just running quiet, neighborhood gathering campaigns, but weren’t they all more visible three and six months ago? Even Diggs, who was absent from his own campaign?
And need to raise a good amount in Q4 since they’ll have to spend before the caucus. They’re probably all on the phones.
I live in CD2 (Eagle County) – can I run in CD7 too?
(and no, I’m not running in CD7)
