Just received the following email from Congressman Perlmutter via the Bennet listserve: “I have remained neutral in their primary until now, because I believe both men are gifted and talented public servants of whom Colorado can be proud. However, I have decided to endorse Michael Bennet in this primary. Over the past year, Michael’s diligence, […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Today’s PPP poll on the Colorado Senate race shows the same trend found in recent Rasmussen polling: Andrew Romanoff does better than Michael Bennet against the leading Republican, Jane Norton. According to a poll pitting the Democrats against the top three Republicans, Romanoff would beat Norton 44-39, while Bennet […]
Remember the old adage be careful what you wish for – it may come to pass. If the state prevails over Amazon we are facing a significant hit on new business startups and job growth. This bill is a business and job killer – in the middle of a recession. First off, I am not […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) This afternoon, Colorado Senate Republicans’ press office kicked into high gear to start the damage control against the Republican Caucus’ opposition to a bill that allows pregnant women to get insurance in Colorado. First, a few facts about the bill, House Bill 1021: The bill requires all insurance plans […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) It’s now been over 22 weeks since Jane Norton has been quoted directly in The Denver Post. Now wait a minute, you say, in The Post on Nov. 11, in the year 2009, there’s a quote attributed directly to Norton, not to one of her spokespeople or to a […]
And starting again out in left field…Jane Norrrr-tonnnn. We’ve expressed amazement in this space before at Republican Senate candidate Jane Norton’s apparent message strategy we dubbed “Out of Left Field” Norton. And we’ve said before that it sucks to be Norton’s spokesperson. You never know what Norton is going to say, or when she might […]
(More or that well known liberal bias–or was that insurance industry bias I always forget – promoted by Danny the Red (hair)) Journalists may be doing 17 things at once, but if they’re going to write a story quoting not one, not two, but three opponents of bills in the state legislature, you’d think they […]
( – promoted by Middle of the Road) . First, this is Colorado Springs, perhaps the most conservative district in the nation. There are a lot of people involved with “Tea Party” type groups. About 1,000 attended last night. Second, while almost everyone there would agree that the GOP is corrupt and beholden […]
Not a good showing for GOP Senate candidate Jane Norton on FOX 31 News last night, folks–excerpts below, and the video feature after the jump: There is no issue that riles up today’s conservative base like the issue of government spending, perceived to be out of control after last year’s $787 billion American Reinvestment and […]
You would think that a year and half after the US taxpayer saved the world by propping up the banking system, the financial sector would have humbly submitted to regulations to prevent another disaster. Nope. As Congress this week inches toward a new set of rules to avert another global financial collapse, it is focused […]
…is the poll on November 02, 2010, when the Dems face off against the Republicans. In the meantime, are we going to lift our party, lift our candidates, lift our philosophies and our platforms, or tear each other down? Will the country benefit if we rip primary candidates in our own party a new one […]
Worth a look if you haven’t already, the Denver Post reports: A new website that will provide taxpayers estimates of how their taxes are spent and allow them to vote on whether that amount is appropriate was unveiled Sunday. The Tax Tracks program is the first of its kind in the country, said state Treasurer […]
It should have been a routine vote, and it basically was in the House. But when the Colorado State Senate was recently asked to give a standard green light to more than 350 applications for federal assistance with clean water efforts, all 14 GOP members voted no. For Senate District 1, represented by Greg Brophy, […]
(Being bold for the Lord… – promoted by Middle of the Road) It’s illegal for children to collect signatures for ballot initiatives in Colorado. So my jaw dropped when I heard radio talk show host Bob Enyart, during a live broadcast Thursday, say, “So, my son today got 20 signatures so far. My son, he’s […]
We know a lot of you have grown impatient lately with what many consider to be inadequate local political coverage, particularly from Denver’s only remaining newspaper of record, the Denver Post. Well, folks, the reason we defend our few remaining local political beat reporters, like the Denver Post’s irreplaceable Lynn Bartels, even as we too […]
We face a number of problems right now from a minuscule budget to a constitution tied up in knots to a state bureaucracy that is in places flat-out incompetent. All that and more are very serious problems. But our long term prospects are determined almost solely by the education we provide our children. If our […]
CO-Sen: Ras Sees Path to Victory For Dems–Through Romanoff? In an interesting new poll out at the end of the week from Rasmussen, the prolific ones show a tightening race in Colorado for the U.S. Senate. The catch: that tight race only exists if the current challenger in the Democratic primary, former state legislator Andrew […]
As The Daily Beast reports, Colorado is #2 in a listing of states with the best job growth prospects. Wyoming is listed at #1, but we don’t consider Wyoming as a real state since only five people live there. So, basically, we’re #1: For a state to perform well in these rankings, they need to […]
Rasmussen Reports is out with new poll numbers on Colorado’s U.S. Senate race. As we’ve said over and over, head-to-head polling (of general election voters) matching up candidates from different parties is virtually meaningless at this point in the race. Probably 95% of voters aren’t paying any attention whatsoever right now, so polling today is […]
Sen. Shawn Mitchell is reliable about casting Republican image and message problems in embarrassingly sharp relief, often with a Beavis and Butthead flair that nobody else can quite match. Yesterday, he served up another fine object lesson–the Denver Post reports: Democrats ripped state Sen. Shawn Mitchell on Thursday after he referred to a colleague as […]
Q. Why do I support Senator Michael Bennet for election in 2010? A. He’s a good man, he’s electable, and he is doing a fantastic job already as our US Senator. He has earned another term. Please allow me to elaborate. 1. He’s a good man. I was determined not to like Senator Bennet. […]
Well we’re making progress on this, but still have a ways to go in terms of getting answers. The biggest shocker was the large number of legislators who do not order online. One or two makes sense as they represent the small segment of our population that does not shop online. But we have a […]
Clarifying a post from Colorado Pols user sxp151, though the error certainly isn’t his/her fault. From The Spot: In introducing a segment on the possibility that the public option may be revived through the reconciliation process in the Senate, Rachel Maddow announced last night that Sen. Mark Udall was the latest lawmaker to sign a […]
Health care for all that costs less? How can you provide health care for all at a lower cost? That’s the essence of a question I received this week after someone read the issues section on my website. Getting more ALWAYS costs more. Or does it? In the case of health care, it doesn’t have […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Almost live from Daily Kos, where our own Sen. Mark Udall has apparently chosen to make this announcement to Democratic on-line folks… Just minutes ago, I stood with Senators Lieberman, Levin, Gillibrand, and Burris at a press conference and announced that we would be introducing the Military Readiness Enhancement […]
