I know the endorsement has already been talked about here but it looks like Clinton’s help wasn’t limited to what was being reported as just a letter to Romanoff’s own list. Two friends of mine who were Hillary supporters have told me they got an email from Clinton today asking them to give money to […]
Blackwater has been THE mercenary outfit of choice by the Bush – Cheney Whitehouse to conduct operations in the Global War on Terror. Recently the Justice department and FBI discovered Blackwater had committed unjustified homicides or perhaps outright assassinations in conjunction with the CIA under Dick Cheney’s orders. Furthermore, Blackwater paid millions in bribes to […]
Republican Senate candidate Tom Wiens reported a weak Q1 fundraising number of $100,931, which doesn’t include a $98,000 contribution from his biggest donor, Tom Wiens. But whether he raises it or gives it to himself, the money does all spend the same; Wiens has more than $540k cash on hand, which keeps him (barely) in […]
You know its bad for the Democrats when 42 year old – 8 term Congressman and lifelong Prince of the Political Class – “Patches” Kennedy – throws in the towel. Kennedy could cite absolutely no reason for “his decision” to quit. Taking no questions, he stated in his abdication speech that it had been a […]
As The Denver Post reports:
The Denver Regional Council of Governments board of directors voted Wednesday night to include the proposed Jefferson Parkway toll road in the group’s long-range transportation plan.
The vote – 35 for and 17 against – came after more than two hours of often passionate debate.
Jefferson County, Broomfield and Arvada have been promoting the toll highway, which would run from the Interlocken commercial complex just off U.S. 36 to Colorado 93 on the north end of Golden, as a key link for completing the beltway around the entire metro area.
Getting DRCOG to include the toll highway in its transportation plan was a prerequisite for luring private investment in the road, according to some board members who backed the measure.
“We’re grateful to the DRCOG board for their commitment to serve the best interests of the entire region,” said Jefferson County Commissioner Kevin McCasky, who also is board chairman of toll parkway authority.
Officials from the city of Golden and communities in Boulder County were among those opposing the effort to include the toll highway in DRCOG’s plan.
Golden will bear “most of the impacts” of a toll highway that ends on the city’s north side while other cities get benefits from the road, said Jacob Smith, the city’s mayor and a member of the DRCOG board.
Approval of the Jefferson Parkway, as currently planned, “throws Golden off the cliff and throws a huge amount of traffic down (Colorado) 93,” Smith said.
Looks like all this not-so-flattering video of Senate candidate Jane Norton courting the “Tea Party” movement, from her “Obama cares more about terrorists rights than you” zinger to “loving the passion” of attendees who say President Obama is a Muslim who wants to ‘throw babies out with the garbage’–and a new gold nugget from Norton […]
note to self July 2008–flash forward Sen Bennet and Rep. Polis and Gov. Ritter give me hope I have an old acquaintance that sued DPD a few years ago. I told him that if he could afford to pay the medical bills that he should skip it. He didn’t listen. He wound up in prison. […]
Whether you’ve been reading Colorado Pols or just following the local or national news, you’ve no doubt seen story after story of the angry anti-healthcare mobs that have been converging on Congressional Democrats holding town hall meetings. Yet a curious thing has begun to happen: The angrier and less coherent that these mobs have become, […]
As the Aspen Times reports: The energy-climate bill passed last week in the House will face an even tougher battle in the Senate, U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet predicted Wednesday during a stop at the Aspen campus of Colorado Mountain College. The Colorado Democrat, in town to attend the Aspen Ideas Festival, met with CMC administrators […]
We could have also titled this, “At Least Your Senate President Pro Tem Has a Sense of Humor,” because this is a pretty funny gag gift. From The Associated Press: Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has warned lawmakers they need to act boldly and make some tough budget choices, sent Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg […]
We got a little impatient with our friends over at the Denver Post a couple of weeks ago, noting their obsessive coverage on a series of questionable polls about Colorado officials while completely ignoring a huge story on Sen. Mark Udall’s longsuffering credit card reform efforts. For one thing, we think that responsibly reporting on […]
(Like taking hurricane advice from Michael Brown – promoted by Colorado Pols) {First, a cheap plug for my blog Senate Guru.} Expert strategist Dick Wadhams tells the national Republicans how it’s done: “Defining the terms of the debate early on is terribly critical,” said Dick Wadhams, chairman of the Colorado Republican Party. In the 2008 […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) from DailyKOS The Republicans — who had just finally won control of the State House for the first time in 40+ years – were suppose to elect their Speaker of the House today. And failed! The Tennessee State House has 50 Republicans and 49 Democrats. Well, Rep. Kent Williams […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) … they don’t even wait for the election to put up Obama impeachment websites! Impeach, expel Barack Obama Why investigate Senator Obama? Barack Obama was in the Illinois Senate for 8 years and was elected to the US Senate from Illinois in 2004. Senator Obama has been rushed to […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Transcript: The few rich owners who are pushing constitutional amendment 47 say they want to give people a choice. You do have a choice Would you chose to pass an amendment that could strip away all the progress that Colorado workers have made with wages, with health care, and […]
I found this at squarestate. From Time: CNN’s John King reports that the Republican team is “making tough decisions” as it sees Colorado as well as New Mexico and Iowa drift away. Says the campaign’s “risky strategy” is counting on Florida, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, and a comeback in Pennsylvania. Response from McCain aide […]
At 2:15PM today, former House Majority Leader Dick Armey of the arch-conservative advocacy group FreedomWorks will be giving Rep. Marilyn Musgrave an award highlighting her agreeing with him 95% of the time. From their press release: Heading into the November election, Coloradans are focusing on the economy and pocketbook issues. Voters are faced with a […]
The traditional media has taken on a new role in coming up with excuses for why McCain and his campaign spout off negative and misleading attacks. Here we have three talking heads arguing that it’s not McCain’s fault for being clueless about his campaign’s strategy. It’s well documented that McCain is clueless about the economy, […]
I have seen the Rolling Stones at CU Stadium and at Giants Stadium in NY. I never imagined that in my lifetime a politician could inspire so many to watch a political speech. But I was wrong. MLK did it on the Mall in DC to over 200,000 when he spoke the words, “I […]
As the Rocky Mountain News reports: A GOP activist who pleaded guilty to misdemeanor tax charges received a year’s probation and was fined $3,450 during his appearance today in U.S. District Court. The case involving Scott Shires, 55, of Aurora, has attracted Democratic attention because of Shires’ ties to Republican U.S. Senate candidate Bob Schaffer. […]
Unlike John McCain, who still sits with the media on his campaign bus and jokes with them on airplanes, Barack Obama has become as remote as Bush and Kerry. He’ll not only be as intellectually dishonest as Clinton, but as secretive and unavailable as George Bush. Lovely. From Politico.com: Reporters covering Obama can no longer […]
Therefore, I would like today to announce a tentative decision, I’m stilling thinking about it, to endorse Barack Obama, since everybody is asking who am I going to endorse, and here’s why. Barack Obama is pro-life. Barack Obama is a Constitutionalist. Barack Obama believes in limited government. Barack Obama is in […]
Some of us relish, others loathe, the political victors whose elections depended on the nefarious role classic “spoilers” played in elections. As a Republican, I cheered Ralph Nader on in 2000, just as Democrats cheered for Ross Perot in 1992, each one of the two playing the role of the spoiler and giving victory, in […]
As The Associated Press reports: President Bush, in a sharp confrontation with Congress, on Wednesday vetoed a bipartisan bill that would have dramatically expanded children’s health insurance. It was only the fourth veto of Bush’s presidency, and one that some Republicans feared could carry steep risks for their party in next year’s elections. The Senate […]
Ken Salazar, despite introducing and moving the House Representative’s Musgrave/Salazar Amendment through the Senate for no funding of an EIS study on Pinon Canyon Expansion, has joined forces with Wayne Allard to actually weaken the Amendment and allow the Pentagon more time to justify why they need all that land when in fact the BRAC […]
