SUNDAY UPDATE: we will be holding an election for two new front-page editors tomorrow, December 1st. The new editors will start around December 15th, and barring anything unexpected will hold their position for six months–at which time we’ll hold another election. There will be two polls, one for the Democrat nominees and one for Republicans.
Here is your final roster of candidates:
Democratic Party
Danny the Red (hair)
redstateblues
Middle of the Road
ThillyWabbit
* DavidThi808 declined to run again, and RedGreen has other obligations.
Republican Party
Laughing Boy
Haners (incumbent)
* NEWSMAN withdraws with some defiant wit, throws support to incumbent, calls candidate Laughing Boy “the Joe Lieberman of Colorado Pols.”
We have received a couple of emails wondering about the potential that some people holding multiple accounts will be able to unfairly influence the outcome of tomorrow’s election. Don’t worry, we sued the inquiring parties in federal court and put a stop to their deplorable attempt to cast doubt on the validity of these likely Democratic voters.

That Dan is a Marxist, socialist, radical, sleeper-agent terrorist, and he can’t be trusted.
That’s only going to help him on your side…
(_*_)
What is this, Fox News? grumble grumble
If he didn’t, he should run.
I’ve been a front-pager long, long ago and there are others deserving of the post. I’ll consider running in the future…
Your vote will be welcome in the future. 🙂
the way Biden anointed Kaufman to hold the Delaware Senate seat until his son, Beau, returns from Iraq?
I’ll listen to all reasonable offers. </grin>
gets the nod, we’ll know something fishy is up.
I didn’t form a commission to figure out who my placeholder is going to be.
Did I miss something?
you may have been drafted….
unless they say otherwise, which was what prompted David to pull his name out of the running.
Applying for grad school and prepping for the GRE will take too much of my time to be able to put in the effort needed for the position.
I’ll come back and resuce everyone 🙂
the economy cratered under YOUR watch. There’s no getting around it. We’re still mired in Iraq, too, last time I checked.
But I think sxp151 should be in the running. Especially now that Cartesian Doubt has pulled his name.
considering I’ve never actually written a diary on this site, I can’t imagine why I’d want front-page status. I prefer being down here among the rabble. Appreciate the nomination though.
You’re one of the best commenters.
If you think that’ll get you your beer any faster, you’re deluding yourself. Not till I come back in December. BTW what kind do you want?
Here Here David!
We need a big Line.
Danny the Red (hair) (3-1)
Has the talent, but has he greased the right skids?
redstateblues (7-1)
Experience counts, but not THAT much.
Middle of the Road (5-1)
Running a solid campaign, but it may not be enough.
ThillyWabbit (15-1)
Would be an excellent candidate if Danny the Red dropped out.
RedGreen (8-1)
This just isn’t his year. Try again in 2009.
sxp151 (100-1)
Tee hee hee
Laughing Boy (2-1)
The favorite, but has he made too many enemies?
NEWSMAN (10-1)
Running just to remind us that he’s here.
Haners (incumbent) (3-1)
Could attract a strong protest vote from sufimarie and Jambalaya
(Note: most of these are pretty much random.)
and where’s Diana DeGette? I won’t take this line seriously until you include the dean of the Colorado delegation. Sheesh!
DavidThi808 – Off
Phoenix Rising – Off
sxp151 – OFF
Seriously guys, I’m not running. Why’s my name still up there?
…others have greatness thrust upon them.
We don’t need 26 of ’em, but there should be a more formal vetting process, complete with gotcha questions and wandering around the stage. It wouldn’t be a fair election without ’em!
Seriously (or less seriously), I’m going to have to thank both of my supporters and beg off. And not only because sxp151 assigns my candidacy such long-shot odds. I’m actually contractually prohibited from posting diaries on Pols, to an extent, although free to comment, which I intend to continue doing regularly.
And, like Bill Richardson, I plan to throw my endorsement to one of the front-runners at a crucial point in hopes of winning a cabinet post.
…but do I get to vote for 2 people? Oh, I guess I will just to be safe…….maybe I’ll vote for 3 people to be extra safe! Safety is my motto.
Then your votes cancel each other out, democracy survives, and turnout reaches historically high levels.
He is a normal human being, balanced, although sometimes a bit confused by his alliance to the Right. That’s alright; we are all here to set him straight. Even if he does yell back at you.
His only big blunder is his support of Sarah Palin; I have no idea what that is all about! Anyway, he brings good stuff to Pols and promotes one to think about the bigger picture.
Redstatesblue, another personal favorite, although sometimes confused by his alliance to the Left (I already used that line didn’t I, never mind). He is the Change We Can Believe In (wait, I have heard that before, never mind)
Danny the Red, smart, articulate, balanced. Even though he has issues supporting the right Congressional candidates, overall he gets it.
Congrats to all!
If only Republicans voted for the Republican representative, that would hurt him, but with all the “Operation Chaos” Democrats crossing over to support their RINO “reach across the aisle” Obamian traitor, he is a shoe in.
I will not be a Huckabee,
I withdraw and endorse “Mitt” Haners, The “Real” Republican !
Laughing Boy, is the Joe Lieberman of CO. Pol’s.
LOL.
Huckabee might have won. Romney – no way.
Balanced, straight? Didn’t the Repubs try that before? How about a Repub who is unbalanced and not straight?
However, change is the magic word of the campaign season; sorry Haners I’m going with LB.
But I’m leaving my options open. The night is young…
LB, I did not mean to imply that you were Gay and/or unbalanced.
Wouldn’t offend me if you did.
I’m putting my vote in for Danny the Red (hair)
Does Mike Coffman need to do a little purging before this election?
My apologies if I buried the lede in an above post, but I’m unable to run this time. I also feel there are many strong candidates and that Pols will be well served by any eventual outcome. We’re keeping any unspent campaign funds with the intention to roll them over into a future race, as yet uncontemplated. Thank you so much, and may God bless the United States of America.
…I always knew you had a trace of Madonna in ya.
You (and you, and you, and you! all your various accounts!) are now on the verge of maybe perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history on this site, maybe destroying the fabric of democracy. I just can’t be part of that.
Not that it matters, but I wonder why Jamba, Sufi, and LaToya Jackson have never been seen in the same place at the same time…
and John Caldera. Connect the dots, LB. Connect the dots.
Come to think of it, I’ve never seen RedGreen and Paul Reubens in the same place at the same time.
Then you missed Paul’s last TV special — I was there!
…that b*tch gots crazy to spare.
Sufi and I try to avoid appearing at the same parties, so as not to suck up all the oxygen in the room. I expect to be rewarded for my mercy.
This suspense is killin’ me; killin’ me, people, I’m tellin’ ya!
Plus, I’m tired of the commercials.
I’m channeling my inner G.W. Bush and just putting in the time till my replacement takes office.
for any “midnight” regulations you impose and those last-minute pardons. (You know, don’t you, that you have the power to reinstate banned Polsters? Use the power wisely, David. Use it wisely.)
