Chris Cillizza of The Washington Post breaks down last night’s GOP Presidential debate: The first 30 minutes of the debate provided some of the best moments of the campaign so far, with John McCain accusing Mitt Romney of seeking to fool the American people about his record, and Fred Thompson challenging Rudy Giuliani over his […]
Arizona Republic A young, idealistic, enthusiastic crowd alternated between rapt and raucous as a youthful-looking, idealistic, enthusiastic Barack Obama spoke of his vision for America at Arizona State University Friday. “Obama is for change and for peace, and that’s what this country needs,” said Randi Stevenson, 18, as she waited to hear the democratic presidential […]
Recently,at our Eleanor Roosevelt dinner here in Jefferson County, Colorado, I was able to speak to South Dakota Congresswoman Stephanie Herseth-Sandlin. She was nice enough to take the time to tell me why she was endorsing Johhn Edwards for President. We need a president who is not a Johnny-come-lately to biofuels, wind, and solar energy […]
There’s been a lot of talk in Colorado political circles about which candidates for President will have the best down-ballot effect for other candidates. Much of that talk has centered around the candidacy of Hillary Clinton, which many on both sides of the aisle warn could be trouble for Democrats. But is that really the […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) As we discussed yesterday, and the Denver Post reports today: Colorado Democrats are putting the heat on GOP senatorial candidate Bob Schaffer in an effort to smoke out his positions on everything from drilling on the Roan Plateau to the State Children’s Health Insurance Program, known as SCHIP. But […]
As the Denver Post reports: Democrat Mark Udall financially outpaced Republican Bob Schaffer for the second reporting period in a row, while state Senate president Joan Fitz-Gerald edged past her Democratic primary opponents in the race for Congress, according to reports filed Monday.

Open Reply TO: All CRANKy Republicans You guys who remain, “In the Tank for Crank”, Get a Life, Your guy lost. Get Over it. robert. You said….. …” That being said, you (I) would not have been considering Lamborn vs Cranks vs Rayburn when you made your decision. Chances are that you are a delegate […]
Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to interview Rep. Buffie McFadyen and discuss the issues with the privatization of prisons and issues with the “Supermax” prison (home of Moussoui, Ted Kascinski, Eric Rudolph and the other most dangerous terrorists in the world.) Tonight on 10/14/07 Rep. McFadyen will be on “60 Minutes” discussing these […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE: Check out the open letter to Stafford from a Republican reader of Colorado Pols. It should perhaps come as no surprise that Rep. Debbie Stafford announced yesterday that she was switching parties from Republican to Democrat if you consider the move in a recent historical context. As Stafford […]
“Not with a bang, but with a whimper” – that’s how revolutions end, and that goes for the Republicans’ 30-year anti-tax revolution. As my new nationally syndicated column today in the Denver Post shows, the public is finally turning away from the me-first economic darwinism of the anti-tax movement, and Democrats in Colorado are getting […]
Doug Lamborn has a few things his announced challengers do not have, a stellar 12 year voting record, the best record of the current congress for supporting conservative issues, and the 5th congressional district seat. Now he also has a seat and is earning seniority on the House Armed Services Committee. The ONLY Republican Freshman […]

From yesterday’s Denver Post: The list of power brokers organizing Mitt Romney’s Colorado fundraiser today reads like a roster of the state’s GOP establishment. Still, even supporters of the former Massachusetts governor say Romney must raise his profile here to overcome the celebrity of Fred Thompson and Rudolph Giuliani and win the nod among Colorado’s […]
As many of you know, I have just started writing a nationally syndicated weekly newspaper column through Creators Syndicate. It is appearing weekly in the Denver Post, among others. From the beginning, I set out to make this column different from the typical inside-the-Beltway, divorced-from-everyday-reality bromides that fill our media – and that means more […]
Ok, now I really have seen it all. Here is political reporter Mike Saccone saying that condemning attacks on American troops will alienate conservative voters. He goes on to say that the best way for a Democrat to win is to pretend to be a Republican – as if that is the way to show […]
http://www.denverpos… “We’ve spent 30 years serving our country all over the world,” Rayburn said in a release, “but Colorado has always been our home. Now Debbi and I want to continue serving our District in new and productive ways.” Rayburn’s campaign said he will make the announcement at the Doubletree Hotel in Colorado Springs at […]
And then there was one. Just one week after Democrat Angie Paccione ended her campaign for congress in CD-4, former Republican Reform Party candidate turned Democrat Eric Eidsness pulled his well-traveled hat out of the ring.

The chairman of the 208 Commission on Health Care Reform, Bill Lindsay, was quoted in the Rocky Mountain News last week as saying that health care reform may not be possible in 2008. Those comments have led to a litany of stories in several publications, most recently in The Denver Business Journal, indicating that health […]
It’s “Either/or”: eco-socialism or barbarism.The following is from an article by Joel Kovel: We have no choice about the fact that the ecological crisis portends radical change. But we can choose the kind of change, whether it is to be for life or death. As Ian Angus puts it in his listserve, Climate and Capitalism, […]
As promised a few days ago, my new nationally syndicated newspaper column, which ran today (as every week) in the Denver Post, takes a hard look at exactly why the progressive movement’s strategy of focusing so much of our resources on Congress rather than the states and expecting to pass Iraq-related legislation through Congress fails […]

The Ritter staff handed out awards to the republican’s best/worst one-liners of the year. After the Yuma Republican criticized Gov. Bill Ritter’s business agenda as “a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down,” a Ritter aide gave Gardner a Mary Poppins-style umbrella Wednesday. Ritter is taking notes of the republicans “personal attacks” on […]
