After that very odd email/release earlier in the week, the word is Perlmutter is making some staff shake ups in the communications and managing offices before the final push to the primary.
I am NOT a Holtzman fan, but don’t ya think this 700 signature shortfall is a little suspicious given who is in the Sec of State office? And, isn’t it odd how the word “Short” continually follows Holtzman?
Jeffco-
I wouldn’t be suprised after that awful, awful publication.
There is too many people involved for there to be any wrong doing and there not be a whistle blower. Besides, given Holtzman’s history, they got to know he is going to challenge and everything they did will be scrutinized so they probably bent over backwards to be on the up-and-up. In any event, Gigi probably doesn’t even touch the ballots. She has staff and the personnel brought in to help with the count to do the work. Her job is to make the announcement.
Actually there is reasonable doubt Get Real.
The word is that the shortfall comes from the SOS not having the petition collectors down as Republicans, thereby invalidating all of the names on he petions. Seems fair until one asks if the SOS office even bothered to call down to the local county clerks to see if the name showed up there… The rumor is that the SOS office did not make those calls. Right now it looks like they are not doing this due dilligence because “they don’t have to”, but the Holtzman Campaign will be very interested in doing it for them.
I’m glad to see that Herb got the sigs necessary in CD-7 to get on the ballot. Due to his lack of name recognition and money, my understanding is that although he will get some votes in the primary, he really doesn’t have much of a shot. My question is, who do you think he will pull votes away from, Peggy or Ed?
Is Lamborn firing Hotaling? Rumors are swirling in Springs today.
Lamborn needs to do SOMETHING to fire up his campaign if he’s going to win.
Hotaling is doing an excellent job, he is extremely intelligent, and extraordinarily ethical. Why would Lamborn want to fire him?
I admire the young soldier in his recognition of what the Press does in reporting the “truth” of war in Iraq. I guess my idea wasn’t so bad afterall … WE’RE ALL PROUD OF YOU KIM DOZIER!!! NO MATTER IF PRESIDENT BUSH IS STILL ATTACKING YOUR RIGHT TO BRING THE NEWS TO THE PUBLIC !!!
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/05/30/iraq/main1664012.shtml
On Thursday a young American soldier gave his Purple Heart to Dozier’s brother, Michael, to give to Dozier. He told Michael that he wanted Kimberly to have it because, he said, she’d suffered as much as any soldier. That Purple Heart is now beside Kimberly’s bed, reports MacVicar.
Do not complaint about GiGi verifying Marky Boy’s signatures. First, Ken Gordon (who does not have a horse in the GOP gubernatorial contest) offered his professional assistance and was turned down. (Gordon is on record as saying that Marky Boy and Both Ways are equally unqualified to be Guv.)
It is a time-honored tradition in the GOP to have a partisan affiliated with one of the competing candidates overseeing the counting of the votes or signatures. Porfirio Diaz, the President-Dictator of Mexico in the 1920’s, use to quip, “He who counts the votes, wins the election!
How true! And remember who counted the votes in Florida in 2000: the co-chair of the Bush-Cheney campaign in Florida, the beautiful and talented Katherine Harris.
VOTE RITTER-O’BRIEN ’06!
Perhaps Gigi and her staff were using “short” hand when they found the signature total fell “short”. Prompting them to issue a short memo detailing yet another shortfall for little Marc. Maybe Marc’s printhouse can photoshop some signatures to fix this shortcoming???
I’m still slightly shocked that Herb Rubenstein actually got on the ballot. It seems to me that will hurt the other candidate who’s a white male attorney with brown hair, a one-syllable first name, a three-syllable last name, boring speeches and primarily blue campaign buttons. However will people tell the difference unless they’re standing next to each other?
Evidently Trey Rogers, member of the “17th St Attorneys for Ed Perlmutter” has been enlisted as a hired gun for the Perlmutter campaign to fine-tooth-comb the Peggy Lamm petition signatures. Questions abound:
-Does Ed really think he’s going to knock off 989 signatures? That’s what he would have to do to invalidate Lamm’s petition.
-I’m assuming instead of sitting in the Secretary of State’s office for days on end going through the 1,988 signatures, Rogers will want copies so he can pore over them in his comfy office with a nice leather executive chair and a view. Who pays for the photocopies of all the petitions? taxpayers? Thanks Ed.
-Is the great staff mixup at Ed’s campaign behind this? Or is it a leftover from the previous strategic staff, also responsible for such brilliant nuggets as the “Facts NOT Spin” email?
Herb Rubenstein is a class act.
Herb has been ripped by a few bloggers for not listening to their concerns. Rather than whine Herb apologized and promised to do better. Herb has the guts to stand up in opposition to the War. Herb also has the guts to listen to criticism.
Herb Rubenstein is an all around class act.
BREAKING NEWS —
President Bush and Condi are married! 🙂 Or, are they having an affair? Ops, that is private … ops.
Political Conversation: Condi’s Slip — Wish.
http://nymetro.com/nymetro/news/people/columns/intelligencer/n_10245/
A pressing issue of dinner-party etiquette is vexing Washington, according to a story now making the D.C. rounds: How should you react when your guest, in this case national-security adviser Condoleezza Rice, makes a poignant faux pas? At a recent dinner party hosted by New York Times D.C. bureau chief Philip Taubman and his wife, Times reporter Felicity Barringer, and attended by Arthur Sulzberger Jr., Maureen Dowd, Steven Weisman, and Elisabeth Bumiller, Rice was reportedly overheard saying, “As I was telling my husb—” and then stopping herself abruptly, before saying, “As I was telling President Bush.” Jaws dropped, but a guest says the slip by the unmarried politician, who spends weekends with the president and his wife, seemed more psychologically telling than incriminating. Nobody thinks Bush and Rice are actually an item. A National Security Council spokesman laughed and said, “No comment.”
Word on the street-
It appears the new staff is being more aggressive, but still making strategic errors, and wasting staff time.
Isn’t Trey Rogers the executive producer of South Park?
I think that’s Trey Parker.
The anti-beauprez commercial running on the western slope looks like it was produced by Trey Parker. Very south park looking, and pretty funny.
