Vote In 5280’s Top of the Town Awards

The voting has started for 5280 magazine’s Top of the Town awards. You can vote online here. In a burst of admitted shameless self-promotion, let me humbly request that under the “people” section you consider casting a vote for me under “Newspaper Columnist” for my column that now appears weekly in the Denver Post, Grand […]

Caucus vs. Primary

( – promoted by Colorado Pols) In a few threads here there has been bits and pieces of a discussion about should we keep caucuses or go to primaries. I have some items to point out and then I would like to offer a plan I am kicking around and would appreciate your feed back […]

Listening to Bentley Rayburn. SHOCK! If Crank should drop out, why I’ll vote for Lamborn.

( – promoted by Colorado Pols) [Very long post, but, with uncomfortable revelations for Bentley Rayburn.] There is no shortage of reasons why many believe Doug Lamborn should not be our Congressman in the 5th Congressional District.  But one thing Doug Lamborn is and that’s this:  he is a member of our community who genuinely […]

Crank’s Ambush Politics

A blog from: http://thecoloradoindex.typepad.com/ Full writing credit goes to The Colorado Index   Ambush Politics February 20, 2008 Before we really get to the meat of this essay, we will share part of a dinner conversation we had with several bloggers last week, including Ross, who is a strong Jeff Crank supporter.  Ross likely repeated […]

Making Nice With “Ben$on”

UPDATE #2: CU Board of Regents sends equally measured defensive/conciliatory email to CU student body (below the fold). UPDATE: Liberal group Progress Now offers Benson grudging “congratulations.” Release below the fold. As the Denver Post reports: Top Democratic lawmakers who had been critical of Bruce Benson adopted a more conciliatory tone Wednesday with his selection […]

Conservative columnist Vincent Carroll attacks Jared Polis’s single-payer health care plan

(Promotion does not constitute an endorsement, this is a user-created diary. Write your own using the menu to the right – promoted by Colorado Pols) Two weeks ago, conservative columnist and member of the Rocky Mountain News Editorial Board Vincent Carroll attacked the “Medicare-for-all” universal health care proposal which you can view on my website.

This just in – Letter from Mitt Romney

Dear NEWSMAN “Thank you for your strong support and dedication to Governor Romney and the campaign.  We had such great success in so many states because of all your hard work and the efforts of your team of volunteers.   As you may have heard, yesterday Governor Romney endorsed Senator John McCain for President of […]

Bruce Loses Committee Assignment

Breaking from the Rocky Mountain News: Rep. Douglas Bruce, R-Colorado Springs, has been booted from the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee. “I no longer believe it is in the best interest of the House nor for the active-duty or retired military personnel of Colorado to have Representative Bruce continue to serve on the […]

Keep her in it – so we can Win it ! Rush considers a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton.

Limbaugh: Lieberman-McCain Ticket? Radio talker Rush Limbaugh continued his attack on John McCain on Monday, saying his campaign is failing to unify or energize the Republican Party – and suggesting that Joe Lieberman might make a better candidate. Republicans “are supposed to be unifying behind McCain,” Rush told listeners, but considering Mike Huckabee’s successes in […]

Health Care Compromise

Governor Ritter announced a compromise today concerning expansion of health care coverage in Colorado. http://www.rockymountainnews.c… I applaud the Governor for his commitment to providing coverage for all children in Colorado by 2010. The compromise itself was a bit of a disappointment to me, and hearing the Governor cite a lack of political will to find […]

Two Important Articles for Conservatives to Consider

A Rapprochement With the Right? By Patrick J. Buchanan Saturday, February 9, 2008 On Thursday, at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, Sen. John McCain stood before thousands of conservatives he has done his level best to anger and alienate for a decade — to ask for their support. And he made a not […]

Dobson Paves Way for McCain/Huckabee Ticket?

Solves a lot of problems, doesn’t it? As the AP reports: James Dobson, one of the nation’s most prominent evangelical Christian leaders, backed Mike Huckabee’s presidential bid Thursday night, giving the former Arkansas governor a long-sought endorsement as the Republican field narrowed to a two-man race. In a statement first obtained by The Associated Press, […]

COLUMN: Obama Caught Between Race Bias and Class Politics

( – promoted by Colorado Pols) The two taboo subjects in American politics, class and race, are now front and center in the Democratic nominating contest. The former is driving voting behavior and the biases against the latter are making it more difficult for Barack Obama to court lower-income voters, as my new nationally syndicated […]

A final request from an Edwards supporter

As some of you may know, I have been a supporter of John Edwards, and of  his vision of the United States as the world leader in ending poverty worldwide. Whether or not you were a fan of Edwards, I ask on behalf of someone who can benefit from your help. That person is Keith […]

A Short-Term Solution to the Potential Superdelegate Problem

( – promoted by Colorado Pols) There’s a lot of legitimate concern out there about so-called superdelegates deciding who receives the Democratic presidential nomination. Superdelegates, as a refresher, are delegates (mostly elected officials) who are free floaters – they can decide who to support for the nomination without any regard to the outcomes of primaries […]

Limbaugh on McCain: It’s Better to Be Right All the Time

  By Howard Kurtz Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, February 5, 2008; EXCERPTS It may be the best sideshow in presidential politics: the nation’s top radio talker trying to take down the Republican front-runner in today’s Super Tuesday showdown. Rush Limbaugh has been relentless in his criticism of John McCain, prompting suggestions that he may […]

Why Barack Obama?

I’m giving in to the temptation to write here to promote a candidate.  Tomorrow is just so important that’s it’s hard to see how one could do otherwise.  I know that undecided voters don’t hang out on ColoradoPols.  I know that everyone here is already involved in campaigns.  But I can’t shake the feeling that […]

Hee Hee. I Have No Idea What I’m Doing. Ha Ha,

It’s nice to see honesty in politics. It’s just that, well, sometimes honesty probably isn’t the best policy. From State 38: As long-time State38 readers may know, I’ve written a few posts about what not to do as a staffer or candidate, mostly based on mistakes I’ve made and then seen repeated by other, more […]

ProgressNow launched a website, www.boycottbenson.com, in response to concerns about the secretive selection process and reports of political misconduct by Bruce Benson, […]

Remembering the “Big-Picture”

Given the heated exchanges between some Rayburn supporters and myself over the last day and a half, I offer this collection of quotes that Mark Levin shared on his radio show a couple nights ago.  Though we may disagree on candidates, hopefully we can remember what keeps us under the same tent. Enjoy! “I would […]

McCain, the Anti-Conservative

It’s true that McCain is unpopular with Reagan conservatives because he decidedly is not, on far too many issues, a Reagan conservative. But it’s more than that. He is the anti-conservative. He instinctively sides against conservatives and relishes poking them in the eye. He enjoys cavorting and colluding with our political enemies and basks in […]

Why a McCain victory may defeat and demoralize the very support he needs to win the war on terror.

Why American Evangelicals are the West’s Last Hope http://www.americanthinker.com… When seeking to discredit the War on Terror, critics often evoke the term ‘crusade.’ The intent is to link the two and imply that that the project was somehow hatched by fundamentalist Christians who wish to impose their religion on Muslim lands. And even though the […]
