When it’s a Tuesday, someone votes right?  It’s been that way for what, five months now? Good thing Idaho voted on Tuesday.  Too bad no one cared. Poll Follows… But those of us here in Colorado-we care!  Right?  I mean, granted Idaho Democrats held their caucuses a while ago, but they still selected nominees for […]

(Now the Republicans will have an excuse when they lose in November – promoted by DavidThi808) UPDATED TO ADD: Libertarians nominated Bob Barr, former Republican Congressman from Georgia, as the party’s standard bearer for president Sunday afternoon in Denver.

Ok, I just put up a list of questions for the Republicans to answer. Well fair’s fair and so I have a question for us Dems. In our case it’s one single issue. But it’s one we have been dancing around and trying our best to avoid. And in addition, two key questions.   The […]

Take this recent example from Dick Wadhams, the campaign manager for Republican Senate candidate Bob Schaffer: “We do look forward to when Boulder liberal […]

I just received the Fitz-Gerald press release about the Convention results. It definitely follows the “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade” line of thought. To date I have viewed all three candidates as very good candidates and I would be happy with any of them in office. I prefer Jared but I don’t dislike […]
