(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 […]
Mary Harold issued the following statement in support of Bentley Rayburn’s candidacy. Known to many as “Mother Mary,” she is the leading conservative activist in the Fifth District. “I have given much thought to the 5th Congressional race and what the qualifications are that would best and most professionally meet the requirements of that […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) A gap between the effective dates between the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule and an 11th-hour attempt by the Bush administration to roll-back those protections could open areas of Colorado’s roadless National Forests to new oil and gas roads. The Denver Post reports: The Forest Service’s timetable would adopt […]
Yes, it is true. As you read below, an exerpt from Dr.Leroy Vaughn, allow me to give it more power. My nephew, a bi-raicial offspring, has blond hair and green eyes. If he so chose, he would never have to say he is black. He has as much Black in him as I do. My […]
(I’ve gotten independent cooraboration on much of this – promoted by DavidThi808) Last night the debate between Rollie and Cindy got heated. There were a number of accusations that were not true and this morning there have been a number of emails sent to the press and decision makers in Senate District 18. These emails […]
Many different interpretations possible for today’s endorsement: If the polls are right, Democrats could have a field day in November – not only possibly capturing the White House but increasing their majorities in Congress, too. That’s why the quality of newly elected Democrats will be so important – and why we’re taking a look today […]
(Does the Boulder Weekly trump the Vail Daily? – promoted by DavidThi808) [Polis] doesn’t just wave the progressive banner; he figures out how to carry it forward. Polis is quite clearly the true progressive choice and the candidate best able to instigate real change in Congress. Link to full endorsement: https://www.boulderweekly.com/2… Full endorsement below: Jared […]
This is for the primary in SD-18, which is one of the few competitive primaries. I’ve talked to a lot of people about the Cindy vs Rollie race here. I’ve had a lot of people tell me that they don’t know much about either. I’ve had a lot of people tell me they find them […]
From the Toxic Sludge is Good For You camp, as reported in today’s Rocky Mountain News: Energy giant Halliburton, which owns a proprietary drilling technology frequently used in Colorado, on Wednesday questioned a proposed rule that would require oil and gas companies to identify and list all the chemicals used at a well site. “The […]
For a candidate who has admitted he knows very little when it comes to the economy, it truly matters who he surrounds himself with. Another McCain Co-Chair Bites the Dust Yet another member of John McCain’s presidential campaign is stepping down after coming under scrutiny for shady business dealings. McCain finance co-chair and former New […]
That question was asked by a guy touting his book. https://www.plnewsforum.com/ind… My reply is so good I reproduce it here :): Neither Obama nor McCain is a centrist. Each, in his own way, is a radical. And none of our strong presidents were centrists. Washington, Lincoln, TR, Wilson, FDR, LBJ and Reagan were all radicals […]
“… Polis is the type of Democrat that Washington needs-one who is not scared to take a stand about his beliefs.” Full link to the endorsement online: https://yellowscene.com/2008/07… Full text after the jump… Tough Call: Pick Polis in CD2 Primary Editor’s Note: Read our comprehensive look at the race to fill the CD2 vacated by […]
With the race to the White House in full swing, “down ballot” races aren’t getting a lot of attention. This time, I’d like to focus on the few states that are electing governors in the 2008 election cycle-and whether or not the seats could change hands between the parties. Top Five States Likely to Switch […]
