With Beauprez tanking hard, it is time to pay some attention to the ballot measures. One of my favorites is the “Protect Petitions” measure. It seems to have a lot of financial backing, and of course the support of Doug Bruce. There are bumper stickers, signs, and radio ads with innocent little children discussing the […]
Update: it’s back online now, reportedly after a number of phone calls. The Grand Junction Sentinel had an endorsement of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Bill Ritter on its Web site this morning – a major coup for the Ritter campaign since Republican Bob Beauprez explicitly chose Janet Rowland as his running mate in order to shore […]
Bob Beauprez and Bill Ritter are taking voters as fools. And they may be. Review the candidates’ positions on several major issues. In the Rocky’s summary of the candidates’ positions, voters can see how shallow and dishonest their positions are: • Beauprez: To provide a “a modern, efficient, effective” health care system that allows Coloradans […]
Give us your best Roger Ebert impression for The Path to 9/11 show on ABC tonight.
August was a bad month for Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez. He was hammered every week for one thing or another in the press, and now we find out that Democrat Bill Ritter outraised him 3-to-1 for the month. Beauprez raised just $216,520 in August, compared to $606,000 raised by Ritter. As the Colorado Springs […]
Sometimes I wonder, I really do, does he even know or care what the American people think? I guess not. http://today.reuters… WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President George W. Bush hopes to revive his plan to overhaul the U.S. Social Security retirement program if his Republican party keeps control of the Congress in the November midterm elections, […]
The Rocky Mountain news dubbed this “one of the best ads so for this election season.”
Everybody who’s worked on a campaign knows if you get information that sounds incredible but hasn’t already made the papers, it’s best to check it and re-check it to make sure it’s true. Unless said campaign doesn’t care if it’s true, counting on the news break to get more attention than the inevitable retraction. Congressional […]
As always, give us your best guess – not your hopes and desires. If you had to place a bet, where would you put your money?
I thought this was an interesting article about a middle ground for gun owners, gun control, and environmental conservation. http://www.tnr.com/d… If this an area for which democrats can make inroads I wouldnt be surprised to see a sizable shift to the center if not the left. From the Article: Gun Crazy by Michael Blanding Lake […]
As always, vote on your best guess – not on your hopes and desires. If you were placing a bet, where would you put your money?
You guys need to get busy with some things! There is a LOT of emotion out there about FAIR voting systems, and you need to start capitalizing on that more effectively. Some suggestions: 1. Send out emails (to your base) about election discrepancies around the country from credible sources. An example of one would be: […]
A group of young Republicans at Mesa State College in Grand Junction held a marriage ceremony between eight students and goldfish yesterday in an effort to…um…well, we have no idea what point they were trying to make. Take a look at this story from the Grand Junction Sentinel: Mesa State Young Republicans President Allen Haggerty, […]
Republicans for Jay Fawcett: how can this not be news on Colorado Pols? It’s all in the power of the administrator, that’s how. Mel Brooks said it best: “It’s good to be the king.” Now, about those odd odds, CPols……..
A quick glance at Ritter’s press release announcing his economic plan for CO prompts these thoughts: Ritter’s complete jobs and business-development plan, “Growing a Strong Economy for Colorado,” is posted on the www.ritterforgovernor.com website. The plan calls for: * Providing a 21st century economic infrastructure so that the economy can grow and thrive, including: – […]
Things are not going well for Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez, who is getting absolutely skewered in the media all across the state. Beauprez and running mate Janet Rowland were drilled again over her comments comparing gay marriage to bestiality; Beauprez was caught changing his position on same-sex partnerships; and he was criticized for a […]
When a candidate for Governor believes it is right and proper to select as a running mate, a woman who likens same-sex marriage to bestiality, it affirms the very worst that has become of the so-called conservative movement. Have the crude and ignorant biggots become so emboldend by their hatred of difference that it has […]
Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez should have had great news coverage from across the state yesterday in making the announcement that Mesa County Commissioner Janet Rowland would be his running mate. He did get a lot of press, but it was tinged with controversy after remarks Rowland made in regards to gay marriage surfaced. Both […]
Republican Rick O’Donnell isn’t off to a great start in his first week of the general election fight for congress in CD-7. Yesterday O’Donnell openly criticized the right wing of the Republican Party, and today he’s getting in hot water for it. Here’s what O’Donnell told the Rocky Mountain News on Wednesday: “The left-wing, surrender-and-defeatist […]
Lynn Bartels of the Rocky Mountain News wrote today about the biggest trend from Tuesday’s primary: The success of right-wing conservatives over moderate Republicans: “Without a doubt, this is great for Colorado,” said one conservative victor, Rep. Ted Harvey, of Highlands Ranch, who won his Senate primary. But Sen. Kiki Traylor, who lost her election […]
We’ve made the required changes to the Big Line now that the primary is over with, so take a look and get to disagreein’. We’ve got Democrat Ed Perlmutter as the favorite in CD-7 because the voter registration slightly favors a Democrat, and because we just don’t see a good way out for Republican Rick […]
Who knew? Faye Griffin, who commented in a Rocky Mountain News article a few weeks ago that she wasn’t fundraising and she was paying for her own campaign, beat former state representative and current Jeffco treasurer Mark Paschall. My household received at least two mailings from Paschall and he ran a weekly ad in The […]
The three-way Democratic primary in SD-32 is a tough fight between Chris Romer, Jennifer Mello and Fran Coleman…which may be why Republican interests are becoming more active. Late last week negative mail – which came from an independent political committee – started to appear in SD-32 targeting Romer. Mello’s campaign was quick to distance itself […]
It takes more than casting a vote for a good cause to be an effective U.S. Congressman, it also requires being able to make a good case for the cause–and that includes being able to make a good case for the cause of getting elected as well. The Republican candidate that Fawcett has the easiest […]
Since the Gazette is too chicken to print them, and the Indy doesn’t have the real estate, here are Jay’s thoughts on the wonderful leadership and strategies, ahem, of the Bush Administration in Iraq, the GWOT, and the Israeli/Lebanese/Hezbollah crisis: With the Middle East mess continuing and the Bush Administration floundering, what our country most […]
