Originally posted at http://thebobhatter.com/2010/1… As we all know many of the voters wait for the endorsements to start coming in to a candidate before they make their decision, or they make a impulse choice while they are driving to the voting booth. So after careful thinking, prayer, using the Magic 8 Ball, flipping coins, and […]
( – promoted by ClubTwitty) Republican Senate candidate, Ken Buck, has garnered a great deal of state and national media attention for his unusually rigid view of what rights a woman has to an abortion. His contention that even in instances of rape and incest, abortion is still morally repugnant and should not recognized as […]
( – promoted by ClubTwitty) The reason many of us live in Colorado is for the incredible beauty of its open spaces. But as the population grows and the major arteries linking the cities to each other fill with homes, shopping centers and business parks, open spaces have become scarce and farther away than a […]
As Michael Bennet wakes from his fitful sleep this morning, who could fault him for wanting to crawl back into bed and pull the blankets over his head. This morning’s release by the Denver Post and 9 News of their Senate poll reinforces exactly how bleak Bennet’s chances of besting Tea Party favorite Ken Buck […]
Step one: Read Friedman’s column: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10… Thrust: The existing parties have lost their ability to solve, or even to discuss, problems that have reached crisis proportions. The parties are so beholden to special interests that many possible approaches are ruled out at the outset. Result: they have lost confidence of the people, but in the […]
(We interrupt our regularly scheduled coverage of the ongoing Republican Victory Party hosted by H-Man for this dash of cold water on Tea Party fantasies. – promoted by Voyageur) Yes, Republibags are jazzed up about birth certificates, taking health care away from sick children, and putting Wall Street crooks back in the driver’s seat, but […]
From today’s McClatchy report on their new poll of key Senate races, including Colorado’s: In Colorado, Republican Ken Buck leads incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet by 50 percent to 42 percent among likely voters… In each state, Republicans are benefitting from an enthusiasm gap, where their supporters are much more eager to turn out and vote […]
I really am trying to stop writing about sperms, eggs, zygotes, implantation, and birth control, but these normally quiet yet essential topics keep arising in the Denver media. The Denver Post states today that the Personhood Amendment would ban common forms of birth control, which is one reason the newspaper came out against Amendment 62. […]
This jurist appears to have gone nuts: A judge from the village of Intercourse, Pennsylvania – one Isaac Stoltzfus – decided it would be a good idea to hollow out acorns, stuff them with condoms, and give them to women. http://www.thesmokinggun.com/d… When caught, he claimed the stunt was a joke. Because, well, who doesn’t laugh […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports, (technically) third-party gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo is reading the polls and feeling mighty confident: On a Denver radio talk show earlier this month, Maes said that if there were a standard for who should be invited to debates, he’s set that level at candidates who are polling […]
CNN/Time has Ken ahead by 5 and Rasmussen has him ahead by 8. Real Clear Politics still rates CO a “toss-up” but Rasmussen moved us into his “leans republican” column just hours before the absentee ballots are mailed. Given the difference in motivation on the right and the left, I thought the polls would break […]
Yeah, that’s not going to end well. Though MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow’s look at Colorado’s Amendment 62 last night gives a smidgen of credit to Senate candidate Ken Buck for abandoning the “Personhood” Amendment, allegedly over birth control, there’s still the matter of the distastefully hard line on women’s reproductive issues that Buck and several other […]
The major Denver newspaper published a story today that could well prove devastating to GOP hopes of recapturing the Colorado legislature this year. A significant number of Republican candidates have rather splashy and, in a number of cases, quite recent criminal backgrounds–at least some of which do appear to be race-ending. A smaller number of […]
I never really understood abusive relationships. Why would a seemingly intelligent human being go back into an environment where the one who professes to love them instead treats them very badly? What always amazed me was how the abuser would blame the abused for their treatment. But, people don’t act that way anymore, do […]
In today’s episode, Rubberstamp Man is feeling a bit better. He’s taking a positive approach to life, and doing his best to get his BFF Michael Bennet to notice him. Sadly, Mikey still won’t give him the time of day.
(“Seriously misleading”–that’s a nice way to say it – promoted by Colorado Pols) Looks like CBS Anchor Bob Schieffer did about two minutes worth of homework prior to his interview with Ken Buck Sunday on Face the Nation. Had he or his producers prepped for maybe five or ten minutes, he could have called out […]
Fascinating tidbit by Time’s Joe Klein, from his Election Road Trip series: [Sharron] Angle is part of a growing legion of (mostly Republican) ghost politicians. It’s a trend that has been building for years: why risk actually meeting with the public, or dealing with the media, if there’s a chance you might say something makaka. […]
It’s been a tough few days for GOP Senate candidate Ken Buck. Beginning with a post last Saturday at this blog with video of Buck’s reversal of position on a national sales tax (once again picked up around the country), the week saw several major stories on Buck’s flip-flop on the Colorado abortion ban amendment, […]
Given Colorado’s proud agricultural traditions. I thought this would be nice to post here.
More to this story than meets the eye politically speaking, the AP reports via FOX 31: A Democrat running for Colorado attorney general says the federal government should lay off its prosecution of a suburban Denver pot grower. Stan Garnett said in a statement Thursday that the pending federal case against Christopher Bartkowicz is “unjust […]
The largest benefactor of appointed Senator Bennet’s campaign is the DSCC which has spent over $1.5 million dollars to date attacking his opponent, Ken Buck. One of the lines of attack has been to target senior citizens, a very important demographic in an off year election cycle, by targeting Buck’s stance on social security. The […]
If you’ve ever looked at submissions of testimony for a PUC hearing, you know they can fall on the obscure side of things. And if you’re a reporter covering a hearing, you want to spotlight issues that are understandable and relevant. Jobs fall into the understandable-and-relevant category, given that the Great Recession just ended but […]
“Oppose not rage while rage is in its force, but give it way a while and let it waste.” –William Shakespeare
Too funny, from ABC’s The Note: Asked why it’s been so long since any black Republicans have won seats in the House or Senate, Frazier said: “I think it speaks largely to the fact that Republicans have not done enough to engage in black communities, in Hispanic communities, on the issues that they care about…[a]nd […]
Reporters seem to be having a hard time figuring out Ken Buck. His statements on key issues are at odds with each other, and this has left some reporters, like local TV fact checkers, disagreeing about what some of his real beliefs are. I have sympathy for these reporters. How do you sort out a […]
