(A very nice letter from Will – promoted by DavidThi808) Thank you Colorado Pols for giving all the candidates this opportunity. Nearly 500 days ago, I was the first candidate to announce that I was seeking to fill the 2nd Congressional seat that Mark Udall was vacating to run for Senate. When people asked me […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) POST ELECTION UPDATE: I made 27 predictions and got 22 of them right. 81%, quite bit lower than my usual average ************************************************* I have made a habit of making election predictions for several cycles now. So here we go for the 2008 primaries (these are who I think will […]
So I know it is no doubt that I support Jeff Crank for Congress. I really could care less about Bentley Rayburn but today I was at the campaign headquarters and stepped outside for a cigarette. To my absolute disbeleif I look over and some of Bently’s people, including his campaign manager Mike Hess, decided […]
Instead of waiting for Washington to fix our energy problems (which at the rate they’re going will be the 12th of never), how about if we do it ourseves here in Colorado? We’ve got the resources, we’ve got the skills, and boy is it important. First off, whatever new solution we come up with, regardless […]
As the Fort Collins Coloradoan reports: Rep. Marilyn Musgrave is among a small group of House Republicans gathered in Washington this week to protest Congress adjourning without passing energy legislation, but records show she and 11 of the other protesters voted to do exactly that six weeks earlier. The earlier votes came June 24, at […]
This has to be the best political ad of the election by far. And she definitely smacks McCain down for using her in his ad.
UPDATE: In a totally unexpected development (cough), opponent Jared Polis calls for a ban on cyanide mining. Release follows. UPDATE: by popular demand, here’s the letter Fitz-Gerald sent to Summit County in 2004 opposing the ban on cyanide mining. As the Rocky Mountain News reports: Second Congressional District candidate Joan Fitz-Gerald is drawing fire from […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Beirut hostage, Dr. Thomas Sutherland, and other notables came together to support Fitz-Gerald; Support growing in every corner of the district This weekend was busy for former State Senate President Joan Fitz-Gerald. On Saturday the campaign knocked on hundreds of doors and canvassed all 10 counties around the district. […]
Since every two-bit reporter keeps repeating the same old story about Colorado Pols’ “vast network of liberal donors” who fund the website, we thought we’d offer an explanation – again – about our complete and utter lack of any money whatsoever outside of any paid advertising. The story that John Andrews just blindly regurgitated after […]
As the Denver Post reports: Gov. Bill Ritter has not been approached as a potential running mate for Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, and the prospect is not something the first-term Democrat considers, a spokesman said. In an op-ed column in Friday’s Washington Post, Michael Gerson suggested Ritter as a possible vice presidential pick, noting that […]
(Where’s our goddamn check? – promoted by Colorado Pols) The irony of John Andrew’s warning of the ‘tyranny of the majority’ is just a humorous aside in his latest screed today, warning of a ‘single, shadowy power supply’ that is set to destroy God & country, or at least Colorado, on this the anniversary of […]
groundswell is the latest hot marketing book in the high-tech community (and I believe in a lot of the rest of the business community). The book is Forrester Research’s look at what Web 2.0 means for business. What’s fascinating for everyone here is it’s look at how people use Web 2.0 for their political information. […]
(This is the most important endorsement in this race – promoted by DavidThi808) Very well written endorsement in a hot primary. Heath has a long history of serving this area’s social and business needs. The 2002 Democratic candidate for governor was the founding chair of what is now Progress Now, the founding chair of the […]
Barack Obama has just cut House Speaker Nancy Pelosi off at the knees. She has spent quite a bit of effort in trying to keep the idea of expanded drilling for oil in U.S. territory from even being spoken about on the House floor. She knows if she lets it come to a vote she […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: Coverage of this story in today’s Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News wasn’t very good for Udall. Although his side of the story did make it in, the articles as written focused overwhelmingly on Dick Wadhams’ gloating over the ‘missed’ vote, with Rocky correspondent Ed Sealover adding helpfully that “there are some political […]
After Monday’s debate between Senate candidates Mark Udall and Bob Schaffer, Schaffer campaign manager Dick Wadhams sent an email to reporters, highlighting (we suppose) the best hit they could find in the transcript. —–Original Message—– From: Dick Wadhams [mailto:dickwadhams@—–.—] [redacted by Pols] Sent: Monday, July 28, 2008 4:24 PM To: Riley, Mike; Sealover, Ed; cashby@chieftain.com […]
UPDATE: You know you’re a political powerhouse when your press release for changing jobs includes a quote from Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who may very well be Barack Obama’s Vice President. Full press release after the jump. Political heavyweight Ted Trimpa is leaving his longtime law firm of Brownstein, Hyatt and Farber to take a position […]
No need for qualifiers here folks, I have been a pit bull for Edwards from the start of my blogging on KOS. But after reading this tripe on Huffpo, and hearing all the rumors of VP choices who are, at best,conservative democrats, and at worst a registered Republican, I no longer can stay silent. I […]
As anyone with a brain could have predicted, Harry Reid’s efforts to shame Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn into dropping his not-so-anonymous holds on 34 seemingly non-controversial bills went down in flames today. Dazzling senatorial flames… Even before the “debate” was over (which included a heinously long quorum call while I assume Harry Reid searched his […]
Oil shale has a lot of potential–and it always will. This old saw out here in oil shale country sums up the years of failed effort to develop this immature fossil fuel into a usable petroleum product. Desperate to find a winning issue, Republicans of late have seized on the size of the oil […]
The liberal Center for American Progress has a few other things to think about next time you pull up to the pump, swinging into action against a new “simply incorrect” radio spot that cropped up against Senate candidate Mark Udall. The American Future Fund, a shady right-wing front group incorporated as a 501 c(4), is […]
General George Patton once observed that in order to beat a tough opponent, you have to “hold them by the nose while kicking them in the ass.” Keep that in mind while the Washington Post reports this morning: Four-dollar-a-gallon gas has done something that few Republicans thought possible just a few months ago: given them […]
You’d think so given the conclusions he made about the newly-released Quinnipiac University poll of the United States Senate race in Colorado. The debate over energy is probably responsible for the race’s quickly shifting terrain. Schaffer has made it his No. 1 theme, battering Udall in their first debate and in the two weeks since […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) In the “newspapers make news” category, The Denver Post unveiled its endorsements in the three Congressional primaries at noon today: Endorsement: Coffman’s got the experience We think Mike Coffman’s political and policy experience makes him the best choice for the 6th CD. Endorsement: Shafroth best of solid candidates Overall, […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) A mysterious organization fronted by a crony of Republican Senate candidate Bob Schaffer has produced a second TV ad, this time slamming Schaffer’s opponent, Democrat Mark Udall. Coloradans for Economic Growth returns to the air about a month after “Sources,” otherwise known as “the butterfly and the Prius,” a […]
