I have never heard of the WCF.
What do they do? What have they done?
When I saw this I jumped out of my chair with excitement! And by jumped out of my chair I meant slipped into a narcoleptic haze and fell out of my chair.
I’m pretty undecided on this race, but I’m beginning to notice a biased trend from Pols… Are they endorsing JFG as well?
So long as they are relevant. We don’t normally post releases, for example, when candidates just issue a bland statement about their position on an issue.
I’m still bored. I have the same reaction when 9 News tells me about a guy that has an antelope as a pet. But you’re right, position statements are boring.
Someone’s a little testy…
On a side note, not necessarily to be answered by Pols: Seriously, who is WCF?
Who the hell are these people anyway? Who may members do they have in the district how much money do they have? Sounds like a paper endorsement to me. Is it really that slow a news day?
I hear Bill Clinton is coming to Boulder next month to do a fundraiser for Hillary it will be interesting to see how many of the CD-2 candidates make there way to the fundraiser?
…aside from endorsing pro-choicers, what does WCF do? It’s not as if the D primary in CD2 is going to have any diversity of opinion on abortion.

So, no big surprise that JFG got the endorsement.
This is a stunningly boring announcement. A group that only endorses pro-choice women has endorsed the only women, who happens to be pro-choice, in a pro-choice leaning district. Next thing you know, the Minute Men will be behind Tancredo and Le Monde will be making snide comments about US foreign policy.
What will be interesting is to see how much Polis’ Amendment 41 debacle hurts him when all the various coalitions and interest groups start endorsing.
I can’t help but think that as this race rolls along, it will be one of the most watched, controversial races in the country. I could be overstating being that there’s not likely to be much of a Republican opposition in the general, but with 3 solid candidates with their hats in the primary race, we certainly have something to watch.
Shafroth, Fitz-Gerald and Polis will each spend well over $1 million.
This clearly will be the most expensive House primary in Colorado history. I cannot remember any US House primary anywhere where three candidates spent over $1 million each.
one candidate plans on buying the election
I hate to pop your bubble but Jared outraised Joan last time. He lead the fundraising race in donors and dollars.
Factually JP out raised JFG by 60k “ish” and Shafroth by about 3K.
And Shafroth raised more from donors listed by the FEC and from donors in the district than any candidate.
I don’t know if Shafroth can continue the fund raising (key issue), but his 2nd quater was at least as good as Polis as far as “raised” money (JP’s own money spends just as well, but he didn’t raise it). Shafroth spent about 1/10th of what JP spent to raise about the same amount of money. Plus JP raised a high proportion of his money from out of state–not an indication of local support.
If Shafroth can put in a decent 3rd quarter (Thielen’s “coffee” indicates he may not be spending enough time on it), look out conventional wisdom.
true JP beat JFG and WS in fundraising last time, but have you really looked at the donors? It seems like everyone in his family (and everyone who invests/handles/manages his money) maxed out for the primary AND the general. I would be interested to know how much of what he raised can be used in the primary.
I can see JP & JF spending 7 figures, but I’m not sure yet about WS. I know he did great first quarter, but thats the easey money will he be able to grow his natural base out? I don’t know, but it will be interesting to see how it plays out.
Will Shafroth has some personal money and could well put in $500,000 of his own money. But, if you have raised $300,000 as a complete unknown over one year before the primary you will raise at least $1 million.
Bitter, bitter, testy and snide is the tone of those not endorsed by any group yet. JFG has received the following endorsements. The groups that have endorsed her have seen her track record. This is a tried and true Democratic candidate that has the confidence vote.
American Association for Justice
American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME Council 76)
Colorado AFL-CIO
Colorado Council of Teamsters
Colorado Professional Firefighters
Communication Workers of America
EMILY’s List
Feminist Majority
Fitting Industry, of the United States and Canada
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
She’s got all of them by the short and curlies. As the Senate pres she could screw any of these special interest groups if they didn’t back her. This is less a show of support as it is a sign of the inbred relationship with politicans and special interests. In this race it could come back to bite her.
Indeed you are bitter.
but you know I’m right!
1. MAAMCF (Metrosexual African-American Men’s Campaign Forum) has endorsed Barack Obama.
2. RGWTMTOTH (Rich Geeks With Too Much Time on Their Hands) has endorsed Jared Polis. (And, oddly, Ron Paul for president.)
3. MH&MWDSOSL (Muslims, Hispanics and Miamians with a Deep Sense of Self-Loathing) has endorsed Tom Tancredo.
That’s awesome. Again, fell out of my chair, but this time for comedic reasons.
