Colorado Pols In the News

From The Colorado Springs Business Journal:

All politics, all the time! At least, that’s how it feels if, like me, you’re a political junkie blundering through the blogosphere.

It’s as if you’ve wandered into a huge, geeky party where everyone is articulate, analytical, argumentative and obsessively political. It’s as addictive as daytime television, or supermarket tabloids, or golf, or fly-fishing or … well, let’s not go there.

Let’s take half an hour and surf through a few blogs, some very close to home.

First stop: Coloradopols, an ostensibly non-partisan site that tracks Colorado politics, and publishes a periodically updated line handicapping the 2008 statewide races.

The Senate line shows Mark Udall at 4-1 (with a bullet), Scott McInnis at 6-1, Bob Schaffer at 7-1 and our own Bentley Rayburn at 20-1. Moving on over to the 5th Congressional District, Doug Lamborn’s comfortably in front at 4-1, followed by Jeff Crank at 7-1 and Bentley Rayburn once again, this time at 15-1. General, you certainly get around!

Thanks to John Hazelhurst of the Business Journal. And sorry about that crack about your hair.
