UPDATE: Polis keeps the pressure on with a blast mail to his substantial email constituent list (follows). As we noted a couple of days ago, and the Denver Post’s Jessica Fender writes for Politics West: The recent flap over Joan Fitz-Gerald’s 2004 advocacy for using cyanide to mine gold – a process environmentalists object to […]
“This guy was fundraising…and missing votes. That is reprehensible.” That was Bob Schaffer campaign manager Dick Wadhams’ justification for his now-infamous assertion that Schaffer was going to “shove a bunch of 30-second ads up [opponent Mark Udall’s] ass on ‘this issue’ over the course of the campaign.” The ‘issue’ was, if you recall, missed votes […]
UPDATE #2: Informative report last night on FOX31 TV: UPDATE: Vince Carroll of the Rocky Mountain News weighs in: It’s been a lousy week for GOP Senate candidate Bob Schaffer. And while parents can’t be expected to answer for a 19-year-old son’s offensive sense of humor (e.g., “slavery gets sh– done”), as revealed on a […]
In my last post I linked to a post by at Squarestate about contacting Andy Vuong about getting his facts straight on Amendment 47, to Right to Work for Less proposition. As I was reading Andy’s piece on Jonathan Coors, I was initially struck by how unbalanced a piece it was in favor of Coors. […]
UPDATE: It’s all fun and games until, as the Dayton Daily News reports: University of Dayton officials said Tuesday, Aug. 5, they are considering charging student Justin Schaffer for a violation of the Standards of Behavior for posting offensive information on his Facebook page. The 19-year-old son of Republican Senate candidate Bob Schaffer of Colorado […]
UPDATE: In a totally unexpected development (cough), opponent Jared Polis calls for a ban on cyanide mining. Release follows. UPDATE: by popular demand, here’s the letter Fitz-Gerald sent to Summit County in 2004 opposing the ban on cyanide mining. As the Rocky Mountain News reports: Second Congressional District candidate Joan Fitz-Gerald is drawing fire from […]
The traditional media has taken on a new role in coming up with excuses for why McCain and his campaign spout off negative and misleading attacks. Here we have three talking heads arguing that it’s not McCain’s fault for being clueless about his campaign’s strategy. It’s well documented that McCain is clueless about the economy, […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Lamborn supporters threaten to oust party chair The Colorado Statesman without interviewing me or requesting an interview from anyone at the RCF ran this story under the sub-headline. Republican Club of Falcon raises hell http://www.coloradostatesman.c… There are some things the Statesman failed to find out that the reader might […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) That Colorado Counts ad must’ve done some damage. This week, Polis goes up with a second negative TV ad attacking Democrat Joan Fitz-Gerald in the three-way primary for the 2nd Congressional District, which also includes conservationist Will Shafroth. The new ad attacks Fitz-Gerald for an ad produced and financed […]
UPDATE: The Rocky Mountain News reports: Two Democratic groups today ripped Republican Senate candidate Bob Schaffer’s campaign manager for using foul language when talking about Democratic opponent Mark Udall. But campaign manager Dick Wadhams said he has nothing to apologize for. The Colorado Democratic Party called on Schaffer to “clean up the sleaze in his […]
Some of you may remember that back in May, photos of Governor Bill Ritter’s son August hosting a party for friends at the Governor’s Mansion (with beer prominently featured) made their way from the online social networking site Facebook into the pages of the Denver Post, as well as local TV news. Republican-leaning blogs and […]
Since every two-bit reporter keeps repeating the same old story about Colorado Pols’ “vast network of liberal donors” who fund the website, we thought we’d offer an explanation – again – about our complete and utter lack of any money whatsoever outside of any paid advertising. The story that John Andrews just blindly regurgitated after […]
Noting that Aug. 11 is the two-year anniversary of Sen. George Allen’s famous “macaca moment,” when the Virginia Republican changed overnight from “a presidential frontrunner to a national laughingstock,” the DSCC’s Matthew Miller today called out Allen frontman Dick Wadhams for another vulgar outburst, this time on behalf of his candidate Bob Schaffer. Long-suffering Colorado […]
(Where’s our goddamn check? – promoted by Colorado Pols) The irony of John Andrew’s warning of the ‘tyranny of the majority’ is just a humorous aside in his latest screed today, warning of a ‘single, shadowy power supply’ that is set to destroy God & country, or at least Colorado, on this the anniversary of […]
. NewsMan said that there’s big news breaking this weekend in the race: http://coloradopols.com/showCo… He generally has inside info from the Lamborn camp. The only thing that would shake the race up at this point would be for one candidate to drop out. So, I’m guessing that Lamborn is dropping out ? Newsie, […]
UPDATE #4: You didn’t think Dick Wadhams would go quietly into that good night, did you? Updated from the Rocky Mountain News: Democratic Rep. Mark Udall voted with Republicans today to keep Congress in session until lawmakers consider a crucial energy bill. He had promised to do so during a U.S. Senate debate Monday with […]
The intense fighting between Senate candidates Bob Schaffer and Mark Udall over energy policy went on yesterday, with each pointing the finger at the other as “responsible” for $4-a-gallon gas–and Schaffer continuing to hammer Udall for “deliberately” missing a vote to adjourn Congress earlier in the week. Both candidates argued their cases forcefully yesterday on […]
(We prefer to think of ourselves as “anti-idiotarian” – promoted by Colorado Pols) The Colorado Model: Cash The left’s magnificent new machine! OPINION – Colorado Springs Gazette 07-31-2007 The right could learn a lot from the left. This year will dramatically change politics in the United States. It’s the year old façades come […]
As the Rocky Mountain News reports: Jared Polis has set a record for self-funded campaigns in Colorado after adding $1.6 million to his war chest in July, raising his personal contributions to $5.3 million. The total is more than the combined total of what his two Democratic primary opponents, Joan Fitz-Gerald and Will Shafroth, have […]
Making for the strangest bedfellows anybody can recall, the Bob Schaffer campaign just sent out a fresh press release blasting Mark Udall over yesterday’s “missed vote” brouhaha–not a lot new to report, but the triangulation involved with this attack as it’s pressed for all it’s worth by the Schaffer campaign is remarkable. Says campaign manager […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE — ANOTHER MISTRIAL. My God, can Storey convict ANYONE?! It was on tape! Jefferson County District Attorney Scott Storey said he hasn’t decided whether former county Treasurer Mark Paschall will be tried a third time for an alleged kickback scheme. A jury deadlocked Thursday on whether Paschall solicited […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: Coverage of this story in today’s Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News wasn’t very good for Udall. Although his side of the story did make it in, the articles as written focused overwhelmingly on Dick Wadhams’ gloating over the ‘missed’ vote, with Rocky correspondent Ed Sealover adding helpfully that “there are some political […]
As the Denver Post reports: Carol Kreck, who was cited for trespassing while holding a sign outside Sen. John McCain’s town hall meeting on July 7, pleaded not guilty today in Denver County Court. The librarian and former Denver Post reporter was removed from the galleria at the Denver Performing Arts Complex while holding a […]
After Monday’s debate between Senate candidates Mark Udall and Bob Schaffer, Schaffer campaign manager Dick Wadhams sent an email to reporters, highlighting (we suppose) the best hit they could find in the transcript. —–Original Message—– From: Dick Wadhams [mailto:dickwadhams@—–.—] [redacted by Pols] Sent: Monday, July 28, 2008 4:24 PM To: Riley, Mike; Sealover, Ed; cashby@chieftain.com […]
We wrote earlier this week about Republican Sen. Josh Penry’s bizarre comments about his plan to divert state money to speed up a section of I-70 in his district. Penry’s quote basically amounted to saying that he thinks voters would prefer to see an improved I-70 than to preserve their water resources. The plan devised […]
