You have provided your input, and now here’s our rundown of the 2007 Winners in Colorado Politics. Although 2007 was an off-year for elections, there were still plenty of winners and losers in Colorado politics. Fateful decisions were made that will portend good or ill in the all-important coming year. As with our 2006 roster, […]
We should not be too surprised at this, from the candidate that, while appearing to stay above the fray, took stealthy swipes at his opponents religion while highlighting himself as a “Christian Leader”. Huckabee has made one gaff after another, and watched his lead in Iowa shrink as fast as it swelled. If Huckabee doesn’t […]
“It is not my intention to do away with government. It is rather to make it work — work with us, not over us; stand by our side, not ride on our back. Government can and must provide opportunity, not smother it; foster productivity, not stifle it.” -Ronald Reagan First Inaugural Address, January 20, 1981 […]
http://www.zogby.com/news/Read… Zogby Poll: Obama Leads Top Republicans Telephone survey shows fellow Democrats Hillary Clinton and John Edwards would defeat some GOPers, lose to others UTICA, New York – Illinois Sen. Barack Obama would defeat all five of the top Republicans in prospective general election contests, performing better than either of his two top rivals, […]
If this is the sort of thing that Colorado Republicans are going to hang their hats on in 2008, it’s going to be a long year. As the Colorado Springs Gazette reports: Statehouse reporter Ed Sealover reports that minority-party Republicans may not be winning a lot of political battles at the Capitol these days, but […]
Colorado no longer has one of its own in the race for President. Today Republican Tom Tancredo withdrew from the race for President…and endorsed Mitt Romney. From the Rocky Mountain News: Rep. Tom Tancredo officially bowed out of the race for the White House today, declaring a moral victory despite never escaping the bottom rungs […]
Tancredo has achieved his secondary goal in running for office; he has elevated the issue of illegal immigration to a litmus test (at least in Iowa). First clashes in Iowa set tone over immigration By Tim Gaynor 53 minutes ago PHOENIX (Reuters) – Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain lost ground to his presidential rivals over […]
Maybe Sen. Joe Lieberman wants to be a Vice-Presidential candidate again. From “The Fix”: Sen. Joseph Lieberman (Conn.), the 2000 Democratic vice-presidential nominee who currently lists his party affiliation as “Independent Democrat,” will break party ranks today to endorse Sen. John McCain’s presidential bid, according to sources close to the Arizona Republican The announcement will […]
When trying to figure out who I want to support for President, I’ve been caught up recently in the back and forth between Clinton and Obama regarding various insignificant points. I couldn’t quite make up my mind. One day I’d be leaning towards Clinton. She seems tough. She has already had so much mud thrown […]
CD-2 candidate Jared Polis has unveiled a 30-second TV ad on his recent trip to Iraq, accompanied by a press release harshly criticizing opponent Joan Fitz-Gerald (again) for her vote in 2003 supporting the invasion. Polis seems determined to keep the focus on what he ‘learned’ in Iraq as opposed to the controversy that boiled […]
We’d nominate this woman for our annual diddy we call “At Least They’re Not Your Legislator,” but sadly, this woman might be your councilwoman. From The Denver Channel: A Dacono, Colo. councilwoman resigned this week over what some branded a racist e-mail, but Sandra Tucker said she won’t apologize for posting it. In the e-mail, […]
As we all know, Jared paid for a trip to Iraq for himself and another person taking a private vacation. Instead of being honest about the political purpose of his trip, he repeatedly makes it sound like a welfare mission with United Way. In a post on Daily KOS… This was an NGO mission In […]
The Colorado Education Association (CEA) announced today that it was endorsing Democrat Joan Fitz-Gerald in CD-2. The CEA endorsement – which Colorado Pols first reported in September was one of the few remaining major endorsements in the three-way primary, and it should carry significant weight in August – particularly when Jared Polis is touting his […]
CD-2 candidate Jared Polis was endorsed today by Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), one of only two openly gay members of Congress, as well as a PAC focused on the election of gay and lesbian candidates. Polis’ connections in the GLBT community are an important component to his continued fundraising success, with a national and increasingly […]
Now, I’ve never been a fan of Hillary Clinton so this news is all the sweeter to me. Over the last little while Hillary’s campaign has been striking a very desperate tone. I first heard part of it when I heard a story on the radio where Hillary was criticizing an Obama statement where he […]
Republican Scott Tipton, who was pummeled in his bid for congress in CD-3 last year, announced this week that he may soon announce that he is running for HD-58. The full press release follows. Scott Tipton, R-Cortez, issued the following statements today on the recent announcement by Rep. Ray Rose, R-Montrose, who is not running […]
As reader Go Blue pointed to in an earlier diary, Colorado Republican leaders are pushing talking points on health care that call the U.S. health care system “the greatest in the world.” Perhaps Republicans have seen different poll results than we have, but every poll in Colorado in the last 12-18 months has shown health […]
PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release Contact: Lynea Hansen (303) 579-8794 December 5, 2007 Shafroth: “On Global Warming and Energy Independence, Washington Must Take the Long View…in Short Order”. Urges Congress to move quickly. Boulder, CO – Will Shafroth, Democratic candidate for the Colorado’s Second Congressional District, released a bold, long-term Global Warming & Energy Independence […]
Newly-minted Rep. Doug Bruce could be the best thing to happen to statehouse Democrats since Joe “Per Diem” Stengel, as the Denver Post’s conservative columnist David Harsanyi writes: Surely, the best news Colorado Democrats have heard in a while was the reappearance of conservative über-villain Doug Bruce. Bruce recently won a party appointment – voters […]
Republican Bob Schaffer has taken a slight lead over Democrat Mark Udall for the open Colorado Senate seat being vacated by Wayne Allard. The report done by Rasmussen has Shaffer with a one point lead over Udall. Schaffer 42% Udall 41% Other 5% Unsure 11% More from Rasmussen after the jump. Former Congressman Bob Schaffer […]
On every issue, at every turn, the elected Republicans in this state continue to dellude themselves with ideology over reality. Today’s dailies printed stories on the Colorado Republicans healthcare goals. However, the Republicans pitched their plans in spite of waiting for the 208 health care commission to release it’s findinds from a year long study […]
The young men and women who are fighting today’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are facing problems unseen by the generations of soldiers, sailors, and marines before them. What has become this war’s signature injury, the traumatic brain injury, is perhaps indicative of our advancements in field medical technology. But what of the long-term care […]
Colorado Governor Bill Ritter was chosen by national Democrats to deliver the response yesterday to President Bush’s weekly radio address. In his remarks, Ritter spoke highly of the field of Democratic candidates for President, and discussed Colorado’s renewable energy initiatives. Complete text of Ritter’s address after the jump, courtesy Fox31: Good morning. I’m Governor Bill […]
What with all the recent debate going on here about Jared Polis receiving money from pro-voucher people (and others admittedly, but I’m sticking to this for the moment), I thought it would be interesting to hear some responses — either supporting or opposing — on this article I read in The Atlantic by Megan McArdle […]
