As many of you know, Colorado GOP chairman Dick Wadhams is not planning to recapture either house of the Colorado General Assembly in this election cycle. A brilliant play for long-term job security, Wadhams has built his 2008 strategy around the election of Bob Schaffer to the US Senate and a comparatively small number of […]
Some years ago COPols tried a guest blogger who encouraged regulars to enlighten him about political/policy issues. I’d like to revive the idea in light of last week’s drama. It is amazing what can change in a week. When you are used to the plodding, steady steps forward (or backwards) a week like last week […]
If you’ve checked out Senate candidate Mark Udall’s website in the last week, you’ll see it’s been updated to slam opponent Bob Schaffer on the economy right from the splash page: Across America — it’s an economic crisis.

( – promoted by Colorado Pols) “We must meet as Americans, not as Democrats or Republicans, and we must meet until this crisis is resolved,” John McCain said.

Tax cuts as part of the solution to the financial crisis. Sounds fine, we’re already borrowing so many hundreds of billions of dollars […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) If his lips are moving, McCain is lying!! From Bill Burton, National Press Secretary John McCain sought to change the subject from his out-of-touch response to the economic crisis with a big announcement that he was “suspending” his campaign. But the only thing McCain really wants suspended is the […]
