[First, a cheap plug for my blog Senate 2008 Guru: Following the Races.] Does it seem like there’s a new Republican scandal in the news every single week? Well, that may be because there is. That seems like an awful lot of corruption, scandal, hypocrisy, impropriety, and jail-worthy crime, huh? A lot of corruption. One […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) [First, a cheap plug for my blog Senate 2008 Guru: Following the Races.] “Backwards” Bob Schaffer sees his latest setback, a wary base: Sportsmen, a traditionally Republican-leaning voting bloc in Colorado that swung blue in 2006’s gubernatorial contest, are warily responding to 2008 Republican U.S. Senate candidate Bob Schaffer’s […]
The Colorado State School board has scheduled a last-minute Special Meeting for today for a “Code of Ethics Discussion.” There’s no word on what prompted the sudden meeting, which follows a morning-long Executive Session, but it’s a good bet that board members will be talking about Bob Schaffer and his ties to donor David Brennan, […]
Cleveland’s city paper, the Cleveland Scene, is complaining that Colorado Republican Senate candidate Bob Schaffer is deflating the prices of bribery in the wake of allegations that he sold his vote on the Colorado school board for $4,000 from the head of White Hat Management – a charter school company. The donor in the middle […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) [First, a cheap plug for my blog Senate 2008 Guru: Following the Races.] Kudos to CBS-4 Denver for actually engaging in some diligent journalism, calling out the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) for their hackneyed ad against Congressman Mark Udall, noting the ad’s lies and half-truths by the GOP […]
With Senate Republicans yesterday successfully filibustering Democrats plans – and the vast majority of the American public’s desire – to end the war, it’s instructive to take a glance around the West’s political landscape to see how different political leaders are taking on the issue, considering this data that shows this region has been particularly […]
Some interesting tidbits in the Colorado newspapers today, showing that what many progressives have been saying for a long time is 100 percent true. First up, if you didn’t believe progressives when they said that the immigration “debate” was really, in many ways, a proxy debate over globalization and business’s efforts to rig the labor […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) A few months ago, I had the opportunity to ask Bill Gates a question at the International Economic Forum in Butte, Montana after he had just delivered a speech claiming that America’s current free trade policies will benefit the Rocky Mountain region by creating high-paying information sector jobs. I […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) This is my first post at ColoradoPols – a site I’ve been reading since well-before I moved to Denver from Montana two weeks ago. It’s good to be here – and I’m excited to contribute! – D Politically, I don’t usually agree with the Denver Post’s David Harsanyi – […]
Today’s story in the AP … High Court Abandons Competition Rule The Supreme Court on Thursday abandoned a 96-year-old ban on manufacturers and retailers setting price floors for products. In a 5-4 decision, the court said that agreements on minimum prices are legal if they promote competition. The ruling means that accusations of minimum pricing […]
…and certainly, he is no fan of mine (having censored many of my posts to his blog), I have to give him his props for doing something meaningful about the scourge of illegal immigration. The pertinent blog post follows (just in case you are wondering, public testimony is not covered by copyright protection): Andrews: On […]
The 201st soldier from Fort Carson just been killed in Iraq: Pfc. Roy L. Jones III, 21, of Houston, died Thursday in Diwaniyah, Iraq, after he was hit by small arms fire, the Department of Defense said Friday. Jones joined the Army in March 2006 and was sent to Iraq six months later. Meanwhile, Sean […]
First, a disclaimer: I am actually Yevrahnevets using a second account (because I didn’t have my password with me). This is copied from a continuing conversation in last weekend’s open thread. I did not have time to cut out the entries that are less relevant to the continuing discussion: Please scroll past them if you […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel reports: Former Grand Junction Congressman Scott McInnis’ bid for a U.S. Senate seat in 2008 was short-lived, but it was anything but cheap. According to campaign finance records filed with the Federal Election Commission, McInnis’ one-month bid to replace outgoing Sen. Wayne Allard, R-Colo., cost his committee $50,498, leaving him […]
There are all kinds of interesting parallels to draw between the recent scandal surrounding disclosure of Mike Merrifield’s incendiary “special place in hell” email and the scandal in Washington, DC involving emails sent by presidential advisor Karl Rove. On the Rove email scandal, CNN reports the latest: Millions of White House e-mails may be missing, […]
It’s that time of year again, even in an off-year, as the Denver Post reports: Two state lawmakers filed ethics complaints Tuesday accusing lobbyists for Colorado homebuilders of falsely claiming the legislators were pushing a bill that would raise taxes and help trial lawyers. The allegations come amid an aggressive campaign by builders against a […]
(This is a diary written by a Colorado Pols reader. Make your own diary using the Menu at right. – promoted by Colorado Pols) It’s called predatory pricing. It allows the WalMarts of the world to take a loss on gas and run gas-only businesses to the ground. They do the same thing with gardening […]
DIA is an interesting feature. It helps the whole state, but is owned by Denver. Yet, if United were to go under or to simply pull out of here, the state would be forced to pay it off. So what is needed is a way to pay it off quickly. How to do that?To cut […]
Take that, stupid Vote Centers! From the Rocky Mountain News: For the first time in Denver’s 148-year history, voters will elect a mayor and a City Council through an all-mail ballot. The Denver Election Commission, which has been lambasted for its handling of the Nov. 7 balloting, decided Tuesday to conduct a cheaper and easier […]
Colorado CD-7 did not make the list. Below is an excerpt from “The Hill” that discussess Colorado’s 5th and Idaho’s 1st CD races. (BILL SALI is the GOP candidate in Idaho that the Club for Growth backed in the Republican primary.) Looks like the Club for Growth’s recent plea for help for Lamebrain evidences his […]
Is the race for governor going to be a blowout for Democrat Bill Ritter? No. It will be much closer than the 10-15 points polls have indicated because these races always tighten up. Does Republican Bob Beauprez have the momentum in this race? Um, not really, and no-one in their right mind would say otherwise. […]

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 […]
We’re rolling along with our “Online Debates” in the congressional primaries after yesterday’s exchange between four of the Republican candidates in CD-5. Today we present our “Online Debate” between the three Democratic candidates in CD-7: Peggy Lamm, Ed Perlmutter and Herb Rubenstein. We asked each candidate to submit three questions for each of their opponents, […]
Keep an eye on this piece of legislation being carried by Democrats but formed by a bipartisan coalition. Democrats could get a lot of mileage out of this in the fall. From The Denver Post: More than 500,000 Coloradans could qualify for discounted prescription drugs under a compromise unveiled Tuesday by an unusual bipartisan coalition […]
Underneath The Big Line you’ll see that we have added a section for campaign links. The Campaign Links section basically works like a classifieds section; they’re not free, but it’s very cheap to list your campaign Web site on Colorado Pols. Click below to learn more…
