We noted yesterday that while the Republican “Contract for Colorado” “Platform for Prosperity” might be a good political move to get voters to believe that the GOP actually has a plan, the meat of the “Platform” was a little weak. We aren’t the only ones asking just how GOP gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis plans to […]
Colorado Statesman: It has been a long time coming, but the moment is nigh. Former state Sen. Tom Wiens, R-Castle Rock, says he’ll announce his candidacy for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate within the next three weeks. The announcement will end what may be one of the longest unconsummated candidacies in Colorado history. […]
I’ve made my position on the Emanuel administration’s attempts to crush Democratic primaries pretty plain: Beyond it being a disgusting effort to crush the kind of local democracy Barack Obama used to make Rahm Emanuel president, it also makes Democratic legislative unity even tougher to achieve. Additionally, the aggressiveness of the effort reveals a double-standard: […]
The steel-town Pueblo Chieftain reports: The “Buy American” amendment that House Democrats put in their stimulus plan and the Senate barely modified, appears to be as hard as the U.S. steel industry it is intended to help. As House and Senate negotiators met on Wednesday to work on a compromise on the nearly $800 billion […]

As a reminder, the Rocky Mountain News reported last week: A panel of three Democratic legislators and two Republicans will decide whether further investigation is warranted into vote-buying allegations against GOP Rep.

It’s the one you’ve been waiting for: UPDATE: Press release from Campaign Money Watch refutes recent claim by Bob Schaffer that his “investigation” resulted in the closure of any Saipan garment factories: Schaffer recently told The Denver Post’s editorial board that he helped shut down a sweatshop in the Marianas, citing a visit he made […]

As the Denver Post reports: Republicans hoping to capture the state’s open Senate seat were dealt a setback Friday by national party leaders, who announced that their fundraising efforts were falling far behind expectations and immediately scaled back the money they plan to spend in Colorado.

Seriously, as Time Magazine points out it’s not only safe to check your vehicle’s tire pressure but it also improves gas mileage and can reduce oil demand. The Bush administration estimates that expanded offshore drilling could increase oil production by 200,000 barrels per day by 2030. We use about 20 million barrels per day, so […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) If you were to judge the status of the CD-6 Republican primary by what’s recently been aired on television, you’d think that race was heating up, with absentee mail ballots being delivered as we speak. It’s not, Secretary of State Mike Coffman has that race in the bag. However, […]

The Democratic candidates, the Democratic party, the netroots – all claim that while the Republican party does not provide the policies that most people want, that the Democratic party does. That voters are switching to the Democratic party because of what we offer. Except not. The actions of our candidates, the actions of our party […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) There are new ads popping up on our local networks. In one evening, I saw the standard 3 Jared Polis ads, and even an Obama for America buy popped up. Then I saw these, from the “Center for Union Facts” So their intent is obvious, these ads were created […]
Normally acts like bribery are real hush-hush, often discussed behind closed doors. Today though, Jeff Crank will buy your support right out in the open! Just show up to his press conference and you get a free $10 gas card and an ear of corn. With cameras running, bought off supporters will surely proclaim their […]
From the Rocky Mountain News: Colorado liquor store owners have reversed their long-standing opposition to Sunday liquor sales, making prospects for legislation that would lift the ban much brighter.

Instead of spending billions on socialized medicine, Colorado’s politicians could spend a few million to take pre 1990 cars that account for 50% to 75% of emissions pollution off the highways. Talk about a public health service that would reduce health care expenditures. This would be a step forward. Which Colorado Congressmen will get us […]
