Front Page Guest Editor Elections This Weekend

59 Comments

by: Colorado Pols

We had great front page guest editors for the 2012 election season. Thanks very much to ClubTwitty, ProgressiveCowgirl, and SSG_Dan for their contributions to our blog in the last six months. Colorado Pols is the most read and discussed political blog in our state for eight years and counting because of our robust community of readers, and our elected front page guest editors represent the qualities we value in all of you.

We will hold an election for two new front-page guest editors this weekend, December 22nd and 23rd. The new editors will start on January 1st, and barring anything unexpected will hold their positions through June of 2013–at which time we’ll have another election. We’ll conduct one poll of nominees, and the top two finishers from that poll will win coveted front page editor spots. Our current editors are automatically renominated unless they decline.

Use this thread to nominate candidates for the two guest editor positions available. We’ll finalize the list of nominees tomorrow evening.

To learn more about the privileges and expectations of our guest editors, read this post, and feel free to ask questions. As always, we will be watching closely to ensure the election is fraud-free, so we remind readers as we do every time to not bother trying to cheat. We’ll catch you, and our whole community will join in humiliating you and everything you stand for.

Voyageur and Daftpunk because they don’t suffer fools gladly and I’m in the mood for something, shall we say… a little bracing.

One or both may have declined in the past, but I’ll try again.

This will be an interesting legislative session in Colorado, and nationally there are several extremely divisive issues to be dealt with soon. I would like to have FPEs who contribute thoughtful analysis.

+1 to Voyageur also, if he’s willing.

I would like to see Duke put in some time as FPE.

He’s taken more abuse than anyone else who’s stayed here. And I’d like to see what he would do with FPE rights. Also, no elections over the next 6 months 🙂

Please nominate somebody who can control their temper. Just a quick pointer – I’ve seen quite a few posters go personal really quickly.

Just my two cents – feel free to ignore them.

1. She writes well and thoughtfully.

2. She used to antagonize David. (I’m hoping this latest detente will pass — a holiday truce — ’cause it is somewhat stomach turning.)

3. She could benefit from the forced technology training that being FPE would require. (. . . you know it’s really in your best interest, dear.)

4. Mostly 2.

Haven’t been on Pols much lately, but I appreciate those who serve. It is time-consuming, I’m sure.
