I have been urging any would be TSA Body Scan protesters not to get carried away. The screening line is not the best place for obnoxious protests. Subtle is best. The Safe and Legal Way for Airline Travelers to Protest TSA’s Genital Grope & Scan Is To Just “politely” Opt for the Pat Down (don’t […]
Again, I normally post my own insane rantings on all subjects political, but this week’s issue of The Economist was devoured prior to all other publications here, including the WIRED featuring the Tron:Legacy article. But I ask all of you that possess critical thinking skills to take an hour to read thru this entire article, […]
Races for the U.S. Senate collectively took center stage in 2010. Maybe they will again in 2014, given there will again be no presidential contest that year and depending on how the political breezes flow over the next two years. This is unfortunate because these races are based on the most fundamentally undemocratic institution in […]
It’s been a long road to Congress for pottery maker and “Tea Party” darling Scott Tipton–but as the Wall Street Journal reports today, grownup choices await him and his incoming majority: Minority Leader John Boehner (R., Ohio), who is set to become House speaker in January, said last week he has been talking to Republican […]
(From the earliest days of this state, major decisions on transportation infrastructure have driven land-use decisions and ultimately economic development. Polster Redstateblues now asks us to play the role of the RTD board and ponder how to rescue the Fastracks plan from the economic doldrums. – promoted by Voyageur) Wednesday Update: Kevin Flynn from RTD […]
As the Colorado Independent’s John Tomasic summarized Friday, all this talk of a “Republican wave,” both nationally where conventional wisdom says it rolled strongly and in Colorado where it “hit a bump,” was more a question of whether or not Democrats had their hip boots on: In Colorado, Republicans won a one-seat House majority by […]
I followed the line through the whole election, and I thought it might mean something. But look how wrong it was. Rosier was given 10-1 odds, but he won by almost 4%. I could maybe understand that, we were all surprised by Hartman’s loss, but what about the Treasure’s race? The Line shows these two almost neck and neck, but Kauffman won by over 15%. You got the Clerk’s race right (like that was hard), but you gave Wallace the same chances as Ramirez in HD29. Well, we all know what happened there. And I never understood why the unopposed candidates didn’t get better odds. This makes me wonder, if the Line has no basis in reality, is there another purpose it serves? Like giving credibility to races the editors want to encourage, while discouraging those they don’t care for? Just saying…
On Wednesday, our friends over at “The Fix” listed their opinion on the “Ten Best Canididates of 2010.” Not all of the Top Ten were winning candidates, such as Democratic Rep. Tom Perriello: Perriello drew loads of national attention during his first two years in office as an unapologetic supporter of President Obama’s agenda despite […]
Colorado Secretary of State-elect Scott Gessler sat down for a brief interview with the cam-wielding GOP staffers “journalists” at WhoSaidYouSaid. Now, we know what you’re probably thinking: we’ve been hard on Gessler for his background as the state’s leading election law offender, now very oddly in charge of enforcing election law. But when we saw […]
Full Article In an article that will be published in this weekend’s issue of the New York Times, Robert Draper quotes Sarah Palin confirming that she is interested in a run for President, which is more than she’s given any other reporter. I am. I’m engaged in the internal deliberations candidly, and having that discussion […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Read more at Policystation.org Well, the GOP Caucus passed the “ban” on earmarks yesterday. As I said last week, the move was completely symbolic and non-binding, so the GOP can now claim that they have taken a serious move to cut spending, even though they can still request earmarks […]
UPDATE: The blog Ed News Colorado takes its own issue with the Post: We’re happy to credit the Post when referencing a story from the only remaining city daily so we have no problems with the Post copyright policy prominently displayed yesterday on its website. We would ask, however, that the newspaper follow its own […]
Now accepting cast nominations for the IndyFilms production of “The 2010 Colorado Election”. The film will focus only on the Governor and Senate elections. Most roles are open, but we are specifically seeking nominations of A and B list celebrities for the following roles: John Hickenlooper Dan Maes Tom Tancredo Scott McInnis Bill Ritter Ken […]
Failed gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo penned a column for conservative website WorldNetDaily that everybody in the state needs to read–H/T to the Denver paper’s Tim Hoover. Tancredo, whose insurgent third-party bid for governor after the collapse of Scott McInnis under allegations of plagiarism failed to either prevent Democrat John Hickenlooper from achieving majority support or […]
So I have posted that I feel (my opinion get it?) that there was some “slander” and some “deceit” in the senate election that led to what I feel was a mostly “unfair” portrayal of Ken Buck. I posted this response in response to questions to explain my statements. Here they are! It’s the best […]
Ok, the election is over, now it’s time to start thinking about governing instead of campaigning. Through all of this, it consistently struck me that we have three gigantic problems that we are not addressing. If we don’t fix these three, then we are going to remain stuck and stuck is not a pretty place. […]
Dan Maes is planning on running for state party chair of the GOP. Or at least his supporters are pushing him in that direction. Admittedly, the only proof I can point to is a closed facebook group of Maes supporters called “Colorado Project 2012” which has since become a secret group, word on the street, […]
Writes the Huffington Post’s Ryan Grim: When Crown Publishing inked a deal with George W. Bush for his memoirs, the publisher knew it wasn’t getting Faulkner… Many of Bush’s literary misdemeanors exemplify pedestrian sloth, but others are higher crimes against the craft of memoir. In one prime instance, Bush relates a poignant meeting between Afghan […]
(It wouldn’t decide control of the Senate like HD-29 could decide the House, but ‘too close to call’ works both ways. Count the votes – promoted by Colorado Pols) According to the Colorado Springs paper, there are more than 5,000 provisional ballots to be counted in El Paso County, and that could very well change […]
(The last surviving member of our pre-election trolls, No2Dems, has been trying to break out of the troll category and join the broader pols community. On this subject, at least, he seems to have succeeded. – promoted by Voyageur) Amendment 62 was voted down by a large margin, again, in a 1.1 million to 474,000 […]
An interesting thing is going on in the states where Republican Governors are being sworn in to replace their Democratic predecessors. From Meteor Blades on DKos Governor-elect Scott Walker of Wisconsin doesn’t want to build the high-speed rail line from Madison to Milwaukee that the federal government has granted his state $810 million for. Governor-elect […]

Click below to read about the big Losers of 2010… Polling Firms A couple of days before the election, David Flaherty, president and CEO of Magellan Data predicted that […]
A quick update on one of several state legislative races still winding down nearly a week later. In House District 61, Democrat Roger Wilson appears to have narrowly won over write-in independent Rep. Kathleen Curry, but there’s a twist–somewhere around 2,000 ballots from this district that were initially counted as undervotes for this race, some […]
Sit down. Good. Four Billion Dollars. Got it? In your head? Can you envision that quantity? No, you can’t. No human has the capacity to visualize quantitatively four Billion of anything. We can deal with it as an abstract number, but not an actual volume of somethings. Four Billion Dollars. Do you feel the […]
Although not all the counting, and recounting, is done yet, one fact from Tuesday’s elections is evident – the environment is still a winning issue in Colorado. At the top of the ticket, John Hickenlooper is now our governor-elect. CCV was proud to endorse candidate Hickenlooper because he understands Colorado’s environment is an essential part […]
