How Long Has Rove Been Working With McCain? Change?

John McCain has adopted Barack Obama’s message of Change and is now running against the image of the party that nominated him.  McCain was cheered during acceptance speech while he challenged the economic platform that was ratified four years ago by the very same people applauding.  McCain is working very hard to distance himself from […]

A Quick Look Outside of Colorado

Barron X, you inspired me. Here’s a thread for you all to look at and ask questions about competitive US House, Senate, and Gubernatorial races from around the country. To get everyone started, here’s a quick list: Best Chances for Pickups (Democrats): AZ 1:  St. Rep Anne Kirkpatrick (D) faces State Mining Executive Sydney Hay […]

2012: Three Scenarios Part 1

Every election cycle, it seems, starts earlier and earlier as time goes on. We’re still two months away from the end of this one, but the 2012 election cycle started when the nominees for both parties’ VP candidates were chosen. The losers from both parties will now wait on the proverbial sidelines, watching and waiting, […]

Michael Yon – Afghanistan

I think one of the best reporters on the war has been Michael Yon who moved from Iraq to Afghanistan about a year ago because that’s where the critical fight is now. From his latest: Where Eagles Dare  9 September 2008 Helmand Province, Afghanistan When I was briefed on the top-secret mission before it was […]

Thank You Senator Obama

For saying something that needed to be said after the last week. Every single issue that he brought up there means a lot to people in this country. What you heard from Governor Palin and Senator McCain this week was partisan red meat. They say they want to change things, but they ignore important issues […]

Fear, Lies and Cover-ups is no way to run a country – McCain’s Speech

John McCain, acceptence speech, republican platfrom, 2008 election, Barack Obama, GOP convention John MCCain is Beholden to the GOP Agenda I think John McCain gave one of the best speeches of his life tonight.  He was able to walk that thin line between playing to the Republican base in the room and presenting a case […]

An Open Letter to America and Mrs. Sarah Palin

I wrote this with the Senator, along with other former Gravel staffers and friends of Mike’s. I’m no supporter of Sarah Palin or John McCain. These were just our collective thoughts. Sarah Palin’s Clean Slate By Senator Mike Gravel On rare occasions our nation has been lucky when new political leaders were selected from obscurity […]

A “Pox on Both Your Houses” Committee?

As you know, I am not a fan of the Just Cause and

“An Eagleton Scenario”

( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Last night I invoked the name of George McGovern’s disastorous 1972 VP selection, Senator Thomas Eagleton. Matt Yglesias channeling his inner me this morning, …normally VP choices don’t make much of a difference politically, but a VP candidate with no experience dealing with the national media who the candidate […]

Sarah Palin = Janet Rowland?

Is it just us, or does Sarah Palin for John McCain’s VP remind you a little of Janet Rowland for Bob Beauprez’s Lieutenant Governor in 2006? If you recall, not long after Beauprez announced Rowland as his running mate, we learned that she had recently compared homosexuality to bestiality. Nobody knew anything about Rowland – […]

Obama was flat, routinely Obama and routinely liberal

Barack Obama gave the third best speech of the week. President Clinton and Michelle Obama were 1 and 2, respectively, Hillary 4th and Biden, what, 100th? But the quality of a rather routine Obama and liberal presidential nomination acceptance speech probably isn’t the issue. The question is, will the voters buy his framing of the […]

Veterans and others come together to talk about the issues

From the Colorado for Obama blog. Last night, the Convention’s theme of service brought together a group of people for a watch party in Colorado Springs. While the event was called "Veterans for Obama Convention Watch Party," the gathering proved to be much more diverse. Among the guests were high school students, a few people […]

Conservative Dems bailing on Obama;

Dave McCurdy and Van Jones

(from the best d**n news team in the state – promoted by DavidThi808) Pictures that go along with this story can be found on my flickr page. Dave McCurdy and Van Jones spoke to the Big Tent today about their website, EcoDrivingUSA.com. Their approach is fairly simple–raise consumer awareness about ways they can do everyday […]

Big Tent Day 1

(from the ColoradoPols on the spot news team – promoted by DavidThi808) After months and months of primaries, caucuses and fighting, the big event is finally here. It feels almost anti-climactic considering all the fretting and worries from some-it’ll probably start to get more exciting once the gavel falls around 3:00. I also want to […]

Mutually Assured Destruction – part II

The anti-union folks came up with the execrable amendments 47 & 49. (Spoiled trust-fund baby Jonathan Coors may have instigated this but the business community sure jumped on board quickly – and as such deserves equal opprobrium.) So the pro-union folks came up with their counterstrike of 53, 55, & the Health Insurance Initiative (not […]

Got Married, Part 2 (Obama style)

This summer we got married as seen here with this video  and this posting . While we did have our ceremony on July 5th, due to a few legal technicalities we had to have an official civil ceremony in Colorado to make it everything legit. So we planned a small service with the two of […]

New TV spot from the Udall campaign

Not sure if anyone else has posted this, but the Udall campaign is running a new TV ad: It’s worth adding that the official Udall campaign has now run seven TV ads, advocating his message, and directly asking voters to support his campaign. The Schaffer campaign, meanwhile, has run one ad–the infamous Mt. McKinley spot. […]

McCain has more bad news — Toby Keith Praises Obama

From Military.com: Asked while promoting his new movie “Beer For My Horses” about the role of patriotism in the current presidential election, Keith replied: “There’s a big part of America that really believes that there is a war on terrorism, and that we need to finish up. “So I thought it was beautiful the other […]

Primary Day Losers

Check out this link for our list of Primary Day Winners. Click below to read the “Losers.” Mary Alice Mandarich Joan Fitz-Gerald’s campaign manager was given a lot of credit, and justifiably so, for helping Democrats to take control of the state senate in 2004 and hold onto power in 2006. In the right setting, […]

How many houses does John McCain have?

( – promoted by DavidThi808) From the Colorado for Obama blog. Today, the Obama campaign released a new 30-second TV ad, Seven, discussing just how out of touch John McCain is with the struggles of everyday people. The ad highlights John McCain’s desire to just offer more of the same economic policies we’ve gotten from […]

McCain Seeks Exit From Water Treaty Disaster

As the Pueblo Chieftain reports: U.S. Sen. John McCain tried to back away from his comments that the Colorado River Water Compact should be renegotiated, but leading Colorado Democrats said they don’t believe him… “My recent remarks may have been mistakenly construed as a call to rescind the Colorado River Compact and commence negotiations for […]
