On Monday we posted screenshots from Facebook accounts of Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes and supporter Joseph Harrington about alleged continued attempts by American Constitution Party candidate Tom Tancredo to negotiate a way for Maes to exit the race for Governor. Tancredo and friends denied the accusations, naturally, but the story is far from over. […]
UPDATE #2: The League of Conservation Voters turned this funny retort right around: UPDATE: That didn’t take long. This story has now gone national, with Politico and The Hill, among others, recounting Buck’s week of bad press. —– We know that headline sounds absurd, but we don’t know what else to say after Republican Senate […]
Off the radar, at least for the moment, is Afghanistan. I really have no clear picture of what either Colorado candidate for the U.S. Senate thinks about our current course here, or how we ought to proceed. Nevertheless, there is this fact: The cost of posting each U.S. soldier in Afghanistan is $1 million per […]
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 […]
(Some really fine commentary from some of our respected polsters on this diary. How wrongheaded Arvadonians actions are, he has prompted deep thought from our community. – promoted by Voyageur) I am a democrat. I’ve been an active democrat ever since I reached eligiblity to vote in 1983. This year, however, I will not be […]
Just so you don’t have to read through all of my musings, I will let you know the split part up front: Governor – Tom Tancredo Treasurer – Cary Kennedy Coroner (Arapahoe County) -Michael Doberson The rest of my ballot was for Republican candidates. Most years that I have voted, it has been pretty much […]
(Carroll could just as easily have argued that other media outlets have failed in NOT asking some of these simple questions. – promoted by Colorado Pols) If you follow Vincent Carroll at the Denver Post, you know he likes to be a media critic every now and then, and sometimes he makes a good point. […]
Time for me to return to the online life again. I have been in a two day session for women and nuclear security. Women from across our country came together to learn about nuclear treaties, nuclear security and what we can do to get the Senate off it’s collective butt and ratify the New START […]
And when is appropriate? As with many words in the English language, the dictionary definition is just the start. Merriam Webster online SHUN: to avoid deliberately and especially habitually The Wikipedia gives a little more context shunning: the act of deliberately avoiding association with, and habitually keeping away from, an individual or group. It is […]
If you’ve been watching the evolution of political blogging at The Denver Post, you know that the Spot blog, is by far the best effort yet, way better than the newspaper’s blog in the days when rightie Ross Kaminsky wrote and wrote and wrote and wrote, while his left-leaning Gang-of-Four counterparts were often AWOL, along […]
During the primary I was always clear I supported Andrew Romanoff. Frustrated as I was to see him lose to Michael Bennet I said I would vote for Bennet because we need to hold the seat. But as I watch more of his arrogance and identity crisis I’m rethinking whether I can vote for 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 […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) I lost count sometime yesterday, and I’m a little doped up on cold meds right now so I can’t get it back. But through Thursday I had knocked on 520+ doors. So, say 600+ doors this week. Not every one was home, and of those who were not […]
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 […]
Yes, my friends, that is the picture of Hickenlooper’s imploding campaign. I get to gloat a little bit, because I’ve been predicting this all along, while almost everybody on this site has denied it. https://www.rasmussenreports.co… Yep, Hickenlooper is in trouble. He’s only leading 42-38, and that still allows for 12% Maes. Enough may switch to […]
UPDATE: The flyer handed out at today’s press conference: We discussed yesterday how Republican Senate candidate Ken Buck hasn’t done himself many favors by trying to moderate his pre-primary positions. As we’ve said time and time again, looking like a flip-flopper is far worse than having particular positions that some voters may disagree with, but […]
From our friends at “The Fix“: A new poll of battleground districts shows Republicans still poised to make big gains in November although the outlook has brightened somewhat for Democrats since the summer. The NPR News poll, which surveyed likely voters in 86 competitive districts held by Democrats and 10 held by the GOP, found […]
One reason reporters should insist on talking directly to political candidates, and not their spokespeople, is to make it harder for public officials to change a position without explaining themselves. If a spokesperson makes a statement, and the candidate later changes his tune, the candidate can simply say that the spokesperson got it wrong or […]
Contrary to Pols’s shameful attempt to destroy Ken Buck’s reputation, it turns out that, in fact, Ken Buck has a superb record on prosecuting rape cases and supporting the victims. Do you see an update to their original story? Anything? No. Crickets. Because that would, um, show the Democrat smear machine to be a complete […]
If you’ve been reading the news coverage of U.S. Senate candidate Ken Buck’s decision not to prosecute a man who admitted raping a 21-year-old University of Northern Colorado student in 2005, you know there’s a major omission: Ken Buck himself. He’s not quoted in stories in The Denver Post, Associated Press, Politico, Roll Call, Politics […]
First off I’m moderately liberal (or as it’s described up here in Boulder, a right wing reactionary). But I try to be even-handed and fair when I lay out the choices in the state level races. Second, we Democrats have done a lousy job at the federal level. But at the state level I think […]
(A bit of a long read, but worth taking a look in a race that has garnered little attention to this point. The large Denver newspaper has an interesting story on a half-million dollars in fines run up by a committee that Gessler is in charge of overseeing. – promoted by Colorado Pols) This year, […]
I am very curious about this rumor that has been floating around in the comments sections etc. of some of our local papers about Buck’s record of harassment or discrimination. Normally, I’d dismiss a rumor cluttering the comments section, but after the same rumors about his DoJ record proved to be true, I think we […]
. Some folks stood by Dan as the weak-kneed fell by the wayside: those committed Republicans who are not swayed by questions of right or wrong, or even consideration of weak or strong, who would support their party even to the gates of Hell, which is where today’s unprincipled GOP would take us as a […]
(Uh… – promoted by Colorado Pols) When I got home yesterday, there was a rolled-up election circular in my door. Usually, I toss these things, but it was from the Arapahoe County GOP, so I decided to give it a look-over. The main brochure, an 8×11 double-sided full color affair, had pictures of all the […]
