Wadhams Rankled By “Schaffer Scandals”

The Rocky Mountain News reports on yesterday’s sentencing of disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff: A liberal activist group has launched a new Web site titled “Bob Schaffer’s Many Scandals,” drawing a rebuke from the Republican U.S. Senate candidate’s campaign. The SchafferScandals.com Web site was unveiled Thursday, within minutes of a judge’s sentencing disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff […]

Abramoff Gets 4 Years, Colorado Liberals Pounce

As the Los Angeles Times reports: Jack A. Abramoff, the once-powerful Republican super-lobbyist, was sentenced today to 48 months in prison for his role in a corruption scandal that rocked Congress and the Bush administration. U.S. District Judge Ellen S. Huvelle pronounced the sentence as a tearful Abramoff stood before her with his lawyers this […]

Attacks On Palin Jumping The Shark?

The GOP is vigorously counterattacking on behalf of vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, who has been subjected to intense scrutiny since her surprise choice was announced last Friday. As the Washington Post reports: All day, as the delegates awaited her appearance, McCain’s advisers were using the criticism heaped on her as a weapon, accusing the […]

Abramoff Sentencing Tomorrow

From Gale Norton to Bob Schaffer, big-name Coloradans are watching the criminal justice endgame of disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff with either schadenfreude or nervous apprehension–of course, if you’ve done nothing wrong, you’ve got nothing to worry about. Right? The Washington Post reports: Since his conviction on fraud and conspiracy charges, former lobbyist Jack Abramoff has […]

NY Times to Candidate McCain: “Your Actions Speak Louder Than Words”

The New York Times is finally questioning John McCain’s independence and judgement after he buckled to the pressure of the religious-right in the Republican party. (Sorry this diary is so long but this editorial was too good not publish in full – GB) Candidate McCain’s Big Decision More often than not, the role of a […]

Democrats Thank Dick Wadhams For SoS Office

You may recall that CD-6 candidate Mike Coffman’s victory in last month’s decisive primary election came over the furious objections of GOP chairman Dick Wadhams, who mobilized just about the entire Republican establishment in Colorado in a dramatically unsuccessful attempt to stop Coffman and keep his present office of Secretary of State in GOP hands. […]

Fatimah Ali threatens a full-fledged race war if McCain wins

Fatimah Ali’s opinion in today’s Philadelphi News http://www.philly.com/dailynew… that we will have a full fledged race war unless Barack Obama wins may either be considered a prophecy or a threat; however, I see this sort of opinion by Fatimah Ali as a thinly disguised threat of violence and intimidation to try to force people to […]

The RNC Police State

UPDATE: Hat tip to Sir Robin for staying on top of this [Democracy NOW is] urging journalists and concerned citizens to contact the office of St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman (651-266-8535) and the Ramsey County Jail (651-266-9350) and demand the immediate release of Goodman, Kouddous and Salazar.

Refuting absurd claims of intimidation

I originally wrote this as a comment under this diary in which cologeek, ordinarily a poster I respect, posted a series of links to blog pieces and declared that there was a pattern of intimidation by Democrats of their critics and opponents. Go to that diary to view those links and read his posts. I […]

Sarah Palin: Double-edged scalpel for CO GOP?

Let’s say we ignore the obvious goofiness of McCain’s Sarah Palin selection. Will Colorado GOP boss Dick Wadhams be issuing a misty-eyed statement in support of John McCain’s VP pick? It’s hard to see how Wadhams and the state GOP establishment can even pretend to lend full-throated support to “the Dan Quayle of our times.” […]

Sarah Palin = Janet Rowland?

Is it just us, or does Sarah Palin for John McCain’s VP remind you a little of Janet Rowland for Bob Beauprez’s Lieutenant Governor in 2006? If you recall, not long after Beauprez announced Rowland as his running mate, we learned that she had recently compared homosexuality to bestiality. Nobody knew anything about Rowland – […]

McCain’s Western Worries

( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Make no mistake about it the West is very much in play and with Hispanic voters making a clean break for Obama, McCain has a lot to worry about. In a recent poll of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Nevada, Obama leads McCain by 45 points among Hispanic voters. […]

Around a Year Ago in CD-5 News

The Who’ll Win in CD5 Poll a year ago shows how different things can look after a year.   Doug Lamborn – 17 votes (21.25%) Jeff Crank – 63 votes (78.75%) The charitable interpretation is that the addition of Rayburn to the mix that killed Crank’s chances.  But there really was reason to think the […]

Montana Gov Keeps Water Pressure On McCain

Democrats have found a resonant stick to continue beating GOP presidential candidate John McCain with in the Mountain West, as the Denver Post reports: Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, hurt his chances in the West when he commented that a pact governing the use of the Colorado River water “obviously needs to be […]

Udall Gets Major Speech At Invesco

We’ve just learned that Democratic Senate candidate Mark Udall got a prime speaking slot in the lineup at Invesco Field this Thursday, an opportunity to make his case to tens of thousands of Coloradans in the stadium, and many more watching on TV. It’s not really an unexpected development, but it’s priceless exposure for Udall’s […]

Udall’s Numbers Improving In Latest Polls

Two new polls, as the Washington Post reports: With the eyes of the political world focused on Denver, Democrats are touting two new polls as evidence that the Colorado senate race is trending their way. A Suffolk University poll conducted in the state Aug. 21-24 showed Barack Obama leading John McCain in the presidential race, […]

My Crystal Ball on Obama’s VP Pick

( – promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE: The Drudge scoop had me worried for a bit, but I love it when I’m right.  Doesn’t always turn out that way, so I savor the moments when it does.  🙂 Based not at all on politics nor inside information nor gut instinct, just a simple examination of […]

John McCain’s Housing Crisis

This big (can’t remember how many?) can of worms has been opened and there’s no closing it. McCain’s campaign panicked today and tried to throw everything, including the kitchen sink, back at Barack Obama. Unfortunately for the McCain Campaign all they have done is opened yet another can of worms after another bigger can of […]

Primary Day Losers

Check out this link for our list of Primary Day Winners. Click below to read the “Losers.” Mary Alice Mandarich Joan Fitz-Gerald’s campaign manager was given a lot of credit, and justifiably so, for helping Democrats to take control of the state senate in 2004 and hold onto power in 2006. In the right setting, […]

McCain Seeks Exit From Water Treaty Disaster

As the Pueblo Chieftain reports: U.S. Sen. John McCain tried to back away from his comments that the Colorado River Water Compact should be renegotiated, but leading Colorado Democrats said they don’t believe him… “My recent remarks may have been mistakenly construed as a call to rescind the Colorado River Compact and commence negotiations for […]
