I thought it would be about time to have a thread to review out predictions and how we fared. My comments are below the fold. I should not give up my day job to become a fortune teller. I seem to be losing my touch this year. This is by far my worst performance as […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) ProgressNowAction’s Election Night 2008 Winners and Losers below, in alphabetical order. Winners Employees of Colorado Due to the tremendous leadership of the AFL-CIO, AFSCME, CEA, and SEIU, Colorado employees will not have to work for less, be silenced, or be treated as second class citizens. Firefighters, teachers, and […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Being that today is the fifth day of November in the two thousand and eighth day of the common era it is the day after elections in America and I would now like to direct your attention to an article by Greg Palast and widely circulated after it got […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) With Dem majorities in Congress and a Dem President, there can no longer be any excuses. Never again will a Dem win an election by simply saying “Boo! George Bush!” There is no longer a Halliburton conspiracy that will hold water to reel in the more freakish members of […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) I’m still recovering from the party last night and the months of physical and emotional exhaustion that went into making this happen. I’ll have more when I have some time to reflect but a few things jump out at me immediately from last night’s results. Here in Colorado we […]
I will start. A major web site ran this with the headline Obama flips off John McCain. I am no Obama fan, but give me a break. The man was wiping his mouth. It seams there is a your tube video and conspiracy theory for every gesture or slip of the tongue. Be glad this […]
No, not the lame movie, but the amendment. True, most posters at this site will likely vote against it, but it has not gotten the attention it deserves, especially given the focus on 47. Well, as johne’s post here shows, recent polls have shown the anti-family, anti-worker amendments losing, but 54 by not quite as […]
Interesting stuff published in today’s Denver Business Journal. The poll also identified the economy as the top issue that Coloradans want the governor and state legislator to address. A whopping 29 percent of respondents said the economy was issue No. 1 with gas and oil trailing at No. 2 with 10 percent. In addition […]
Top 10 Reasons NOT to Vote for Obama 10. Education and Health Care – Obama’s record in Chicago speaks volumes here. Chicago has one of the worst educational systems in America and he did absolutely nothing to improve it. He has no clear policy on Education for America either. We all know everyone should be […]
Consider this an open post for everyone’s efforts today working on campaigns. So dad, what did you do in the all-important 2008 election? Well kids, let me tell you about today’s effort… I went down to the Obama South Boulder office (yes, the City of Boulder now has multiple Obama offices) to volunteer from 9:00 […]
When US Attorney Troy Eid decided not to prosecute three men who said they were going to assassinate Senator Obama during the Democratic National Convention here in Denver, some people wondered if Eid had biased his decision. Considering Eid’s background and history, it wasn’t surprising. Eid’s appointment was, if you’ll remember, controversial. He had lobbying […]
On the Saturday before the 2006 election, we wrote this: As this election cycle has progressed, we at ColoradoPols have frequently been accused of a ‘liberal bias.’ Some of us responsible for the content you see here every day take umbrage with that, because it just isn’t true. We really do have representative opinions from […]
You probably (or hopefully) don’t know this about me but I am just a corn-fed girl from rural Nebraska; my familial roots are in the bible belt. As of late, from these roots grows a conflict. All of my family members are hard-core Evangelical/Republicans and I try desperately, for our mutual advantage, to find a […]
I got a quick phone call from Governor Ritter today. For some reason he’s very busy right now but was nice enough to talk to me about the upcoming election. He started off talking about how intense it is here in a swing state. He is definitely on top of the world right now – […]
(Doesn’t the First Amendment give you the right to call your elected officials morons? – promoted by Colorado Pols) This is almost too stupid to be believed. Sarah Palin is actually claiming that the press – by criticizing her negative campaigning – is violating her First Amendment rights. Source and more after the jump. http://blogs.abcnews.com/polit… […]
From the Colorado for Obama blog: On Tuesday, Michelle returned to Colorado for her second visit in October, this time traveling south to Colorado Springs, where she spoke to around 2,500 people about the election and the importance of early voting. Before the event started, Michelle shook hands with the 300 people who listened to […]
Last night, we traveled back up to Colorado Springs once again – this time to attend the only Fifth Congressional District debate of the election season where Congressman Doug Lamborn would be present. Mind you, there have been several other opportunities to debate over the past few months; however, Doug Lamborn has always been too […]
UPDATE: the liberal activist group Progress Now just filed a complaint with the Justice Department asking for an investigation of false statements (the bogus name and address for the donation in question) and making knowingly illegal campaign contributions. From the complaint: I urge that you immediately exercise your authority under federal law to investigate whether […]
As you may have read in my past posts on the GOP stealing the election in Colorado, you know that those of us in Colorado are frankly worried about the real possibility of our votes being stolen on election day. At issue, Sec. of State Mike Coffman’s voter purges, in violation of the law. Well, […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Bob Schaffer needs a little lesson in American history. Or maybe just a lesson in political ideologies. Michael Roberts of Westword has the story: Republican senatorial candidate Bob Schaffer needs a game-changer right now, given the size of Democratic opponent Mark Udall’s lead in most polls. So why not […]
(How can I resist – pick mine, pick mine! -David You beat me to it! – promoted by Haners) Please give me your predictions for legislative seats in the Colorado House of Representatives or Senate that could switch parties Tuesday. If Pols or David or Haners will be kind enough to promote this diary I’ll […]
The following press release came out yesterday regarding how Denver is going to try to assist those who have inadvertently fallen into “Checkbox Hell” Denver Offers “Checkbox” Voters an Election Day Solution These “incomplete” voters to have an opportunity to vote a regular Election Day ballot (Denver) – The Denver Elections Division announced today that […]
In their most valiant effort for an October surprise, the proponents of Amendment 48 informed their email list that the Alliance Defense Fund attorneys are suing Governor Bill Ritter, Planned Parenthood, Boulder Valley Women’s Health Center (BVWHC) and the Colorado Department of Health and Environment for $18,000,000 of illegal taxpayer funding of abortion. Yay! Suing […]
In a letter to the Fort Collins Coloradoan today, the 11% third-party spoiler from 2006 throws in for Betsy Markey: Marilyn Musgrave still doesn’t get it that voters are tired of the politics of personal destruction. She has gone over the top in personal attacks with her unfounded charges implying that Betsy Markey is a […]
As the Denver Post reports: A greater percentage of Coloradans search political websites, including those of presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama, than Web users anywhere else in the country, a national study shows. “More than residents of any other state, Coloradans are following the election the closest, at least online,” said Matt Pace, […]
