ColoradoPols is clearly an “insider” blog site where you can catch the latest news before it breaks mainstream. As a site that is clearly more – oh shall we say, “liberal-minded,” it’s with a grain of salt that visitors should trust the Big Line. That said, it’s interesting to note the changes over time as […]

It arrived.  In the mail.  Yesterday. The Colorado Statesman.  Like a distant thunder.  With a front page report on Doug Lamborn.  The 5th CD race.  A distant thunder building under dark skies.  Clouds gathering.  One on top the other.  Like hammers.  Hammer on top of hammer.  Hitting Lamborn with the force of lightening.  Against the […]

I am shocked – shocked I tell you! – that under the Republican administration of Gov. Bill Owens, “A state program to help local communities deal with the impact of energy development has turned into a gusher of money for projects with few direct ties to the costs of drilling and mining activities,” according to […]

Here are a few clips from today’s Colorado Daily article about Will Shafroth: …whoever wins the 2nd CD race will need to deal with geopolitical decisions regarding the Middle East, whether the U.S. withdraws troops from Iraq in 2008 or not. Shafroth said he opposed the 2003 invasion of Iraq “from the beginning,” supported Udall’s […]

One of the major reasons why Democrats have not yet been able to pass legislation slowing down or ending the Iraq War is because they have remained within their archetype (aka. the role low-information voters perceive them as reflexively playing). The strongest bills they have proposed have all been straight-up “antiwar” bills – that is, […]

Yesterday, I wrote a post both here and on Open Left, in which, during the process of announcing the campaign’s logo contest, I sharply, in an unflattering manner, and unnecessarily criticized Will Shafroth, Joan Fitz-Gerald, and both of the Salazar Brothers. I want it to be absolutely clear that I wrote what I wrote under […]

If Colorado wants to become a renewable energy exporter the state needs to solve the Transmission Problem, and fast.  Colorado is arguably in an excellent position to export clean energy.  We have the 5th best solar potential in the nation and the 11th best wind energy potential and are on the Eastern edge of most […]

In the Denver Post today, Zach Fox asked, “Who will pay the tab for the ozone solution?”  What he didn’t ask was who will pay the tab if we don’t clean up our air quality.  Ozone pollution can have very negative effects on both our health and our environment. According to the American Lung Association, […]

REMINDER: Read the new article in the American Prospect about the state-level fight for universal health care and then join today’s national conference call with state legislators from all over America. In the last few weeks, there has been a bit of moaning and whining from some progressives in Washington claiming that state efforts to […]

I received an email from Carol Chambers earlier today and will supply the unedited version, which I assume may have already made its way on to one or more of their own Web sites and/or will be printed or has already been printed in one of the papers: Last week the Denver Post published a […]

As Colorado attempts to move to a more sustainable framework, diversification of the transportation network is a crucial factor. The negative implications of remaining dependent, almost exclusively, on vehicle travel have significant economic and environmental impacts. Creating viable, alternate modes of transportation is crucial to the economic stability and environmental vitality of the state. Already […]

When contemplating growth, expansion is assumed. Adding more people to the Denver Metro Region has inevitably led to a greater amount of land experiencing urban development. But is this the best way for the Region to grow? Perhaps communities should be asking HOW we can grow so as to minimize costs and maintain Colorado’s exquisite […]

I am walking in Rosedale on this day early in the week while I wait for the funeral of Army soldier Le Ron Wilson, who died at age 18 in Iraq. He was 17 1/2 when he had his mother sign his enlistment papers at the Jamaica recruiting office. If she didn’t, he told her, […]
