According to a press release from the office of Gov.-elect John Hickenlooper (full release after the jump): Gov.-elect John Hickenlooper announced today Sen. Al White will be Director of the Colorado Tourism Office and Joan Henneberry will be the Healthcare Exchange Planning Grant Project Director. White is a businessman from Winter Park who served eight […]
The full list in a press release after the jump. House Minority Leader Sal Pace today announced the Democratic committee assignments for the coming legislative session that opens on January 12, 2011. Democrats hold 32 seats in the House while Republicans hold 33. Included in the announcement were appointments for the Democrats’ nine newly-elected […]
As our friends at “The Fix” explain: Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele’s announcement Monday that he will seek a second term as chairman of the committee stunned the political world and left strategists scrambling to assess the impact he could have on the contest. Steele, in a detailed statement released last night announcing his […]
Heck of a story in today’s Durango Herald from their DC-based intern Tamar Hallerman–outgoing Rep. John Salazar, bested by GOP “Tea Party” upstart Scott Tipton in an election that Salazar didn’t expect to lose (more on that in a moment), is considering returning the favor in 2012. U.S. Rep. John Salazar, D-Manassa, said Wednesday that […]
The amendment failed with 29.498% yes, 70.502% no statewide. This much we knew on election night. To take a closer look I waited until official results were presented on the Secretary of State website on Wednesday, November 24, 2010. Did Amendment 62 carry any county? No. The high water mark was Conejos County with 45.037% […]
As of this writing, control of the Colorado House is narrowly in the hands of the Republican Party, who according to unofficial results won a 33-32 majority last week. That result is still pending complete counts in two districts–HD-61 and HD-29, where final outcomes favorable to Democrats could still flip control back to them before […]
With the dust from the 2010 election (mostly) settled, it’s time for our Winners & Losers. Today we’ll give you the Winners, and tomorrow, the Losers. Click below to read about the big Winners of 2010… WINNERS Michael Bennet In a huge Republican year, in the most expensive and competitive Senate race in the country, […]
Both locally and nationally. Which wins really made you excited and hopeful, and which losses stung the most? For me, locally, a tie – the most satisfying had to be Markey going down by such a wide margin to Gardner, and Cary Kennedy losing to Walker Stapleton. Markey and many House Dems can directly […]
UPDATE (11:25): The big Denver paper and many of the other big TV stations have some major problems with their reporting. The Denver Post, for example, had Buck ahead of Bennet 48-46, on the strength of a 52-45 advantage in Boulder. A quick check of the Boulder Clerk and Recorder’s website has Bennet leading Buck […]
I don’t think it takes a great mind to know there will be several recounts after returns are counted tonight — and into tomorrow — in some counties. Every election, there’s a mayor or city council race that ends up being tied or split by one or two votes. Usually those take place in smaller […]
(Ladies and Gentlemen, Start your crystal balls! – promoted by Voyageur) As I look at RedGreen’s diary comparing 2008 to now here in the world of Pols, I can’t help but think that two years ago we were all about making predictions about the election. Of course, two years ago making predictions was fun because, […]
As it turns out, the “Bad 3” ballot initiatives–Amendments 60, 61 and Proposition 101, haven’t turned into the litmus test issue for conservatives they were once portended to be. Actually, that’s not really fair, they have served a valuable purpose, along with the birth control and abortion ban Amendment 62, in dividing practical conservatives from […]
Pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee, and settle in for a dastardly tale of late season campaign hijinks. It took me the better part of the wee hours of the night last night to ferret out the details, so listen up! It all started a few days ago, when a curious ad […]
An attack ad by Republican Ryan Frazier that goes after Rep. Ed Perlmutter for “allowing convicted rapists to receive Viagra” — a claim that has repeatedly been found to be untrue — has been pulled by 9News and will no longer run on the station. According to a press release from Perlmutter’s campaign: In a […]
Ok, here they are for all of October through this morning. My ads are set to display on any search in Colorado. So this shows you what is being searched on in Google for this election. Keyword repeats – I have multiple ad campaigns on some keywords, so each is listed differently. Total use of […]
Note: Aaron asked me to post this and he just registered so in 2 days he will be posting his stuff directly. How can Hickenlooper “go negative” and does he even need to anyway? Everyone wants to know whether or not John Hickenlooper will “go negative” and start attacking Tom Tancredo, now that some polls […]
If you want to know what is really going on, don’t pay attention to what people have to say, look at what they do. This week the DCCC spent $236K on behalf of John Salazar in CD-3. They spent $ 147K on behalf or Ed Perlmutter in CD-7. They spent $0 on behalf of […]
We told you this was coming. That’s the new ad on the air in Colorado Senate race, to our knowledge the first TV spot to invoke the recent scandal involving GOP candidate Ken Buck’s refusal to prosecute a case of alleged date rape in 2005. Sponsored by Women’s Voices Women Vote Action Fund, we’re awaiting […]
UPDATE #2: Rep. Ed Markey (the Democrat from Massachusetts — the male Markey) chimes in with his own quote: “As the other Markey in Congress, I’ve always admired and respected Betsy’s intelligence and political independence. The fact is, we don’t always vote the same way, and we don’t even look alike! I’m wondering whether all […]
In a new ad, out this week, Cory Gardner, running against Betsy Markey in CD-4, jumps all over Rep Ed Markey (D-MA) for a couple of votes. In fact, his opponent, Rep. Betsy Markey, voted against both bills. Links after the jump. From the Markey (Betsy) campaign press release: The two citations used in the […]
(Go Betsy! A well thought out endorsement from the largest paper in her district. – promoted by DavidThi808) From today’s Fort Collins Coloradoan, “Markey earns 4th District endorsement” After weighing the attributes each candidate brings to the table, the Coloradoan editorial board narrowly endorses Markey in this race. As an incumbent, Markey has proved to […]
From Rasmussen Reports: Is independent Tom Tancredo now becoming the de facto Republican candidate for governor of Colorado? He’s now moved to within four points of Democrat John Hickenlooper to turn the race into a toss-up. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Colorado finds Hickenlooper with 42% support, while Tancredo, the […]
Rachel Boxer, the spokesperson for Republican Cory Gardner’s campaign for congress in CD-4, might have put out this press release a tad too quickly. It’s always a good idea to read these things over again, or else you end up with headlines like this: Betsy Markey resorting to bold face lies We’re guessing she meant […]
A rare glimpse inside the conservative mind. Crossposted from facebook: Endorsements (General Election) by [bjwilson83] on Wednesday, October 13, 2010 at 12:33am With general election mail-in ballots being mailed out today (or yesterday, by the time I finish writing this), it’s time for my endorsements. Here’s who I’m voting for: U.S. Senate: Ken Buck Ken […]
As “The Fix” reports yesterday, Democrats across the country are suffering the fallout from a weak top-of-the-ticket showing: Rick Snyder may be House Democrats’ biggest nightmare. The Michigan Republican, a former head of the Gateway computer company, is running way ahead of Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero (D) in the Wolverine State’s gubernatorial race. (A poll […]
