No doubt truckloads of makeup and hairspray are being dispatched from the (blessed) emergency warehouses now that the funds have been released.
At last they’ll have the money to clear up that hideous skin condition so that The Guy can once again walk by day.
THE GLORIOUS FUTURE IS AT HAND!

PRAY WITH ME BROTHERS AND SISTERS!

Thanks!
With Greeley and several other towns in the district ranking the fastest growing in the district, well that’s going to have an effect.
we probably argee on a lot more but well you know politics just brings out the best in me.
Weld County has, I think, the highest foreclosure rate in the state. Now, granted, that’s not her entire district, just a thought. And who knows where the local economies will be a year and a half from now.
Weld county is one of the fastest growing in the state in terms of population and it may also have one of the highest foreclosure rates too.
Any idea why the high foreclosure rate there?? Is is simply because the growth rate is so high?
Weld certainly is a big key to victory in the 4th. It is changing the demographics and the makeup of registered votes. I’m thinking that the changes there in 2 years made the difference in Ritter’s win versus Salazar’s loss in the 4th.
MANY people got conned into accepting adjustable rate mortgages when rates were low and got screwed when rates went up. Couple that with the amount of development in Weld (and Adams) county and couple that again with the high cost of living and there’s a recipe for foreclosure.
Most of the foreclosures were decent blue collar folk who bought way over their heads with the aforementioned ARMs.
Are ARMs the same as subprime loans?
an ARM Adjustable rate mortgage is a floating rate loan that floats off of short term rates (there are different ones). You can think fed funds, the rates the federal reserve sets.
Sub prime is a credit quality class (620 fico or less-about)
these can be and often are combined.
I was listening to a report on NPR the other day and it almost sounded as though they were interchangable.
and Shays is history. You can’t make up for 6 years of Bush Enabling by acting like a human for a few months.
Oh, and how is it that you regain a majority by barely holding onto formerly “safe” seats? I laugh.
….is that we insist upon promoting wild-eyed extremists like Musgrave, making unsafe seats out of safe ones. Just think of what might have happened had “Cocaine Mary” Mullarkey and her criminal band of Democratic partisan thugs not thrown out the Republicans’ redistricting plan. Even the Sixth would be in play, and Tom Tancredo would not be running for President.
This time it will belong to the Dems. Angie was close and this time will surpass Musgrave. Dems are taking over CD4.
If I was running for Congress in Colorado, I’m not sure I’d want help from the national party.
I can only imagine that the national party would focus the candidates it was trying to save on the wedge-issue dejure — illegal immigration.
Here’s the breakdown of Hispanic population by Colorado Congressional District:
1 DeGette (D) 33%
2 Udall (D) 18%
3 Salazar (D) 22%
4 Musgrave (R) 18%
5 Lamborn (R) 12%
6 Tancredo (R) 8%
7 Perlmutter (D) 26%
While the correlation is not perfect, in districts with high proportions of Hispanic voters/populations, Republicans carrying the anti-immigration message lost. The anti-Hispanic message sells great in Tancredo’s district that has the lowest % of Hispanic voters in Colorado, but is disasterous for Republicans in other districts. Musgrave squeeked by in her district in the last election.
My advice to her would be to distance herself from the national party and chart a course and positions that resonate in her district with the voters in that district.
At the dem convention last year I spoke with a number of greely teachers who were very progressive liberal dems, but were fumming about the number of illegals in their schools. These greely liberals weren’t talking about buidling a fence they wanted landmines across the boarder because of how bad they claimed the illegals were bringing down their schools.
I suspect the immigrant pop is playing a large part in both the growth and change of the district, but who knows how it plays out politically. It could be backfiring and creating a backlash against them if these teachers were any indicator.
…fed up with the levels immigration, legal and illegal. We aren’t blind to the effects.
It’s the numbers, not the people.
