Marilyn Musgrave’s next couple of weeks, seen through the eyes of someone who’s been there–Bob Beauprez. From the latest Mother Jones: In Capitol Hill official-speak, it’s called the “transitional suite.” In reality, the harshly lit warren of numbered cubicles in the bowels of the Rayburn House Office Building is the private purgatory of members of […]
Now the easy part is over and the hard part begins – governing, and governing effectively and efficiently in the middle of the worst recession since the great depression. Ok, let’s talk the State of Colorado – what do we need to do. For the past 2 years we Democrats have done a competent job. […]
Consider this an open post for everyone’s efforts today working on campaigns. So dad, what did you do in the all-important 2008 election? Well kids, let me tell you about today’s effort… I went down to the Obama South Boulder office (yes, the City of Boulder now has multiple Obama offices) to volunteer from 9:00 […]
We want to follow up a story we broke last week that provoked a great deal of celebration, confusion, and ultimately angry denials from the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), who insists despite multiple reports to the contrary that they are not pulling out of the Colorado Senate race. As we and others have said, […]
First I’m trying to think of a suitable analogy of using Bob Beauprez as the voice of an “information campaign”. Polling showed him losing the Catholic vote by a 20% margin when he ran in 2006. So why would a push poll/promotional for the website Catholic Answer Action use him of all people? Why not […]
In my previous diaries here and here I highlighted the evidence thoroughly documented by Colorado Ethics Watch which showed a pattern of 2 different violations of the law by Colorado Secretary of State Mike Coffman, and his recent ruling to disenfranchise thousands of voters for not checking an obscure box on voter registration forms. Now, […]
Over 1.3 million new low-income, minority, and young Americans registered nationwide! Yesterday, as voter registration deadlines passed in most states, Project Vote, the nation’s leading nonpartisan voter participation organization, and the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), the country’s largest community organization, held a news conference to announce the completion of a joint […]
Amazing poll numbers from Rasmussen Reports: If they could vote to keep or replace the entire Congress, 59% of voters would like to throw them all out and start over again. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that just 17% would vote to keep the current legislators in office. Today, just 23% have […]
On May 28th, local entrepreneur William Orr was found guilty on 22 counts related to defrauding the federal government via his now-defunct National Alternative Fuels Foundation, a case that turned heads around the country once it was disclosed that Senate candidate Bob Schaffer served on the NAFF board of directors. The Rocky Mountain News summarized […]
There’s a reason this is happening, as the Greeley Tribune reports: Tensions in the 4th Congressional race boiled on Tuesday over what campaign officials for Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, R-Colo., call inconsistent statements on the part of challenger Betsy Markey. Officials with Musgrave’s campaign have asked Markey for clarification on statements and documents surrounding her involvement […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) http://www.rasmussenreports.co… Probably a lot of yall have seen this but its interesting that Obama’s numbers are better in CO post-convention and worse in most other states. “John McCain gained a little ground nationally during the convention season this year, but in the state that hosted the Democratic National Convention […]
Fascinating article in today’s Boston Globe, titled “Clinton to get symbolic nomination”: Hillary Clinton’s name will symbolically be placed into nomination at the Democratic National Convention later this month, the latest gesture to unify the party behind Barack Obama and mollify Clinton’s diehard supporters… After the protracted and at times bitter primary fight, the role […]
There are three ways to vote in the Second Congressional District Democratic Primary. If you recieved a mail ballot, please return it by this Friday to ensure that it is counted (they are due at the clerk’s office by Tuesday). If you did not recieve a mail ballot, you can either VOTE EARLY this week […]
Not so fast, as the Denver Post reports: A new poll shows 41 percent of Coloradans say Gov. Bill Ritter is doing a “good” or “excellent” job, a 13-point slip from May that comes after Ritter was getting high marks since his election in 2006. Rasmussen Reports polls, the latest of which was released Tuesday, […]
Shortly before the debate between CD-5 candidates Bentley Rayburn and Jeff Crank many local Republican voters began receiving automated phone calls from what is obviously a Jeff Crank push poll. The questions asked slander Rayburn or Lamborn depending on who the voter initially indicates support for. At last night’s debate Jeff Crank indicated that before […]
(Thanks for sharing your feelings Paul – promoted by Haners) The day after my 21st birthday in 1967 I registered to vote and my party affiliation was announced as Democrat. I grew up in an FDR worshiping household and I knew that the likes of Nixon and Goldwater were not my friends, especially during those […]
Before we begin, we’d like to express a little surprise. Everyone got the message loud and clear from Dick Wadhams, the detailed explanation as to why the recent conviction of Denver businessman William Orr for defrauding the government had no relationship whatsoever to Senate candidate–and former board member at Orr’s defunct National Alternative Fuels Foundation—Bob […]
UPDATE: The Denver Post adds Friday morning: The gap itself may be less important than the trend: Schaffer has been steadily losing ground in tracking polls in the last three months, a critical period in which both candidates as well as their allies have spent liberally to introduce the two men to voters… Udall maintains […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) What opportune timing. Between the Bill Orr trial, trying to prove who gave him that earmark, and so many other political scandals and events, I wasn’t sure when was the right time to reveal what else we dug out of Bob Schaffer’s Congressional archive. But, now that Ross Kaminsky […]
We sheepishly explained to our readers Friday morning that we had been given bad information the night before regarding the felony fraud trial of the former head of the National Renewable Fuels Foundation (NAFF), whose board of directors during the time of the alleged fraud included Senate candidate Bob Schaffer. Contrary to our original update, […]
According to Rasmussen Reports, Udall now has a six point lead over Bob Schaffer. http://www.rasmussenreports.co… Highlights and poll follows The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey shows Udall attracting 47% of the vote while Schaffer earns 41%. For Udall, that’s an improvement from a three-point lead a month ago and two months ago. It’s also […]
I had lunch today with Joe Whitcomb who is running for SD-23. He got lost finding the restaurant (his iPhone was showing the wrong location of the restaurant). However, he broke the second law of guy-ness (according to Dave Barry) and called me and asked for directions. Joe is a trade-offs nerd. We talked about […]
You tell us — check out this “View From the Newsroom” blog entry from Grand Junction Sentinel editor Dennis Herzog: Newspaper editors and political reporters don’t need a calendar to tell them that it’s an even-numbered year. Even-numbered years are election years. We can tell that because those are the years when we get complaints […]
Republican Party Chair Dick Wadhams is really mad that he can’t get the press to do his bidding, so he’s resorted to bullying and threats in hopes of getting the media to pretend his candidate for Senate, Bob Schaffer, doesn’t have any warts at all. Wadhams and Schaffer shamelessly attacked and belittled a blog reporter […]
As the Rocky Mountain News reports: Several members of a liberal activist group said Wednesday they appear to have gotten seats to Sen. John McCain’s town hall meeting Friday in Denver despite their earlier concerns that the audience was being screened. McCain, the presumptive presidential nominee of the Republican Party, is holding the meeting at […]
