Wednesday was the official launch of the DraftObama.org petition drive, and the response has been overwhelming. We’ve had thousands of hits to www.draftobama.org – many sending a message to Senator Barack Obama urging him to run for President now – and we’re just getting started. Right now, Senator Barack Obama is considering whether or not […]
It’s looking more and more like Sen. Wayne Allard will not be running for re-election in 2008. As Colorado Confidential reports: Senator Wayne Allard is expected to retire rather than run for re-election in 2008, igniting a potentially crowded primary where at least three candidates are already making their interest known. Republican sources say that […]
As you may be aware, I am running for the Denver Election Commission. I think we all agree that our last election was an absolute disaster. There are many people calling for major changes, and I would like to solicit the opinions of the readers here. Below are four options currently being considered. I would […]
Maybe the Denver Election Commission could try a coin flip in the next election. As the Associated Press reports: The town of Dacono will learn this week whether it has a new mayor. A final count of election votes gave Mayor Wade Carlson a one-vote lead over challenger Larry Johnston. A recount will be conducted […]
We’ve heard rumors that Dick Wadhams may be returning to Colorado to run the re-election campaign of Sen. Wayne Allard. Wadhams previously directed Allard’s successful campaign and is one of the GOP’s best political operatives. He had been set to head up Virginia Sen. George Allen’s Presidential run…until Allen imploded and lost his bid for […]
Senator Abel Tapia had been campaigning for weeks to become the new head of the Colorado Department of Transportation in Governor-elect Bill Ritter’s administration, but as we wrote last week, he wasn’t getting very far…which is why it was amusing to see this story from The Pueblo Chieftain: Thanks, but no thanks. That was Sen. […]
Governor-elect Bill Ritter today announced a full list of his transition staff, broken down by committees. From a press release: The co-chairs of 18 advisory committees gathered this morning for their first meeting. The individual committees also began meeting today, and each of them will hold at least one session before Thanksgiving. Each advisory committee […]
BY BRIAN MANN – published by TheStranger.com, link at end The last couple of years, urban Americans have awakened to the growing disconnect between the progressive culture in cities like Seattle and the far more traditional values embraced by rural folks living just a few miles beyond the urban perimeter. This rift defined the 2004 […]
The 2006 Election Winners are here, or click below to read about the other side… John Marshall, Shari Williams, Cinamon Watson These three Republican operatives have now been at the helm of two straight cycles of disastrous Republican defeats. Marshall and Williams directed Greg Walcher’s failed campaign for congress in CD-3 in 2004, and Williams […]
With the 2006 election now one week behind us (unless you’re the Denver Election Commission, that is), it’s time to take a look back at the Winners and Losers of the political season. Some people, such as Marilyn Musgrave and Doug Lamborn, fell into both categories (winners and losers). With that in mind, click below […]

The Washington Post has listed the campaign of Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez as one of the ten worst in the entire country: Rep. Bob Beauprez (R-Colo.): Beauprez’s poor campaign was all the more surprising for being so unexpected. The congressman was seen as a rising star within the Republican Party nationally following his back-to-back […]
-Denver Post Dan Haley Best Pick- Say No on 43 Campaign Ad FOR ANYONE WHO’S NOTICING THESE DAYS a new kind of voter is coming to the voting booth this November. A close look at the typical Colorado voter gives us some interesting news. A not surprising fact according to a Rocky Mt. News and […]
We’ll ask you about the best campaign later, but first, tell us who you think has run the worst campaign in 2006. We don’t want to know who you think was the worst candidate, because being a bad candidate and running a bad campaign don’t necessarily go hand-in-hand. Rick O’Donnell, for example, was probably a […]
If Jay Fawcett could have had every Republican household this evening in the 5th CD watching the CNN program that featured Joel Hefley, that went into his principled stand against Doug Lamborn’s sleazy campaign and hypocrisy as a so-called “Reagan Republican”, Jay would have picked up another very substantial Republican vote, far larger than Jay […]
My respect for the people of the state of Pennsylvania dropped a few points when I first learned of this guy and it has been dropping steadly every time he opens his mouth. http://www.phillybur… Santorum defends Iraq war By ALISON HAWKES Bucks County Courier Times Embattled U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum said America has avoided a […]
Sen. Greg Brophy, one of the most respectable arch-conservatives in the state legislature, sent out an email this morning explaining how he would vote on various ballot measures. Full list is below. What I found most interesting is his opposition to Amendment 39 and to Referendum J. Let us hope more reasonable and fiscally responsible […]
We all know Doug Lamborn has a problem with the truth. That’s why outgoing Representative Joel Hefley would not endorse the winner of his own party’s primary for the Fifth Congressional seat. But the sleazy campaign Doug ran is not the reason the Colorado Springs Independent, the Denver Post, or Esquire Magazine have endorsed Jay […]
We complained a few days ago that the Rocky Mountain News’ state house endorsements were pretty blatantly partisan. Perhaps it’s a good thing to see the other side has their hand in. Though the Post’s state house endorsements were spread out more evenly, their Congressional endorsements would, well… CD-2: Mark Udall (as if). CD-3: John […]
We were willing to cut ol’ Dave Schultheis some slack and keep the Republican senate candidate out of the “Dumbest Legislator Ever” category afforded to former Republican Rep. Jim Welker, but Dave made such a stirring comeback yesterday that we can’t deny him any longer. Since we can’t get through to Dave, we’ll try to […]
Republican Rep. Dave Schultheis (who is now running for the state senate) is quickly joining former Rep. Jim Welker as one of the best friends a Democrat could ever have. An e-mail Schultheis sent out after a tragic car crash that was, well, less than sympathetic (not to mention unnecessary) has been getting more and […]
Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez has been trailing Democrat Bill Ritter in the polls for months now, with the current margin somewhere between 15 and 17 points. Beauprez’s campaign is so far behind that they have apparently now been written off by the Republican Governors Association (RGA). The RGA sent out an e-mail to supporters […]
We’ve updated the Big Line across the board as we come down to the final five weeks. Click below the fold to find out the why and the who… Before we get into it, remember that the Big Line doesn’t reflect potential margin of victory. For example, Fern O’Brien may make the Attorney General’s race […]
The Grand Junction Sentinel continues to march to the beat of its own drummer, delivering a key note of support to Republican Scott Tipton after a spate of surprise Democratic endorsements—including Gail Schwartz for SD-5 last Thursday. Republican candidates throughout the country are as eager to affix San Francisco Democrat [Nancy] Pelosi to their Democratic […]
This article is a little long, but a good read none the less. I think that there comes a time when the realization must be made that what may be right for America (or wrong depending on your view) is not what is right for Iraq. By Rajiv Chandrasekaran Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, September […]
