The regular nationwide “Governor’s Line” from Washington Post blog “The Fix” is out today, and the big news is no news: Colorado is no longer listed as one of the 15 states where the Governor’s mansion is most likely to switch parties. Why the change? Well, as we have written before, there are a couple […]
I was very disturbed to hear from a friend that some ardent Romanoff campaign insiders are accusing me of blogging under more than one name, and saying negative things about Andrew Romanoff and his closest supporters. I don’t. I haven’t. I wouldn’t. I am offended by the gossip. For the record, Andrew Romanoff is a […]
This week’s Bennet-Romanoff debate suggests that Andrew Romanoff and his most vocal supporters are using a calculated and dangerous set of tactics. Calculated because the message is repeated and consistent; dangerous because the message assumes voters aren’t smart or checking the facts and also because the message can easily boomerang on you and the people […]
(Because I love jobs and RSB – promoted by Danny the Red (hair)) UPDATE: 9News is streaming the Q&A session with Sen. Udall and Sec. Chu. Click the link to go to the live feed. Adam Schrager is monitoring the chat on 9 News too, so if you want to ask a question, Adam will […]
I want to believe we Democrats do a better job running the government. I want to believe the government, while imperfect like the rest of us, does a good job delivering services. But then I get this. I sent an email in to DoR asking for guidance on how we need to apply the sales […]
This would have been a question most would have liked Bennet to answer honestly but most don’t expect Bennet to do so. And now he has Obama to stump for him and BennetPols at his disposal. It doesn’t matter that the popularity of the POTUS is waning and in the last election that mattered his […]
The colors are his. I can’t do the photos- but they are sort of extraneous (so Senator Bennet and President Obama smile?) As you probably know, today President Barack Obama hosted a fundraiser for Senator Michael Bennet here in Colorado. That shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. Ever since being appointed to the United States […]
Caroman, MADCO, and others are right. My until now undecided neighbor is now for Bennet. (and she caucuses with all her friends) Caroman said that he thought Romanoff implied it at the HD37 meeting, MADCO said Romanoff implied it elswhere, I think he implied it a suburban clubhouse party. Campaign staff have denied it […]
In a press release this morning, several local policy groups defended the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA, known in the vernacular as “teh stimulus”) on the one-year anniversary of its signing here in Denver. Full release after the jump with links to two new reports on stimulus funding in Colorado–says Kathy White of the […]
Question: “Who do you serve, MOTR?” Sen. Bennet: “Don’t you mean ‘whom do you serve?’ Sharon?” That exchange, of course, never happened Tuesday night as about 300 Young Democrats gathered at St. Cajetan’s to watch former Speaker of the House Andrew Romanoff debate U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet. It was the first — and only — […]
(Ah good…now the campaign ads start. – promoted by Middle of the Road) The day before President Obama visits Denver to attend fundraisers for Sen. Michael Bennet, Republican Senate frontrunner Jane Norton unveiled an ad campaign today aimed at tying Bennet to the Obama administration’s deficit spending. The ad doesn’t mention Bennet. Here’s the TV […]
(Don’t confuse the Coke and the pesticide – promoted by Colorado Pols) That’s the word from the Denver Post’s Tim Hoover: Liberal group delivers treat bags slamming McInnis over opposition to tax bills There’s a bite-sized “100 Grand” bar, a “Sugar Daddy,” a can of cola and a bottle of pesticide. It’s all inside a […]
We’ve updated The Big Line now that all Q4 finance reports are available. Click below for a brief rundown of some of the changes. GOVERNOR Like it or not, elections are often just one big popularity contest, and in Colorado, there are few (if any) politicians who are more popular than Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper. […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) POLS UPDATE: A little homework reveals a few details: this bill was apparently passed in a “block vote,” unanimously, with little debate as a bill intended to comport Colorado state law with federal law. SB10-047 is apparently being promoted by the Department of Defense, which wants the “DD 93” […]
Why is law enforcement SOOOOOO upset at the idea of dispensaries? OK, I am not supporting the guy who was on TV bragging without “knowing” for sure if he was legal or not… But the fear mongering by DEA and AG Suthers is becoming a cross of Jim Crow and McCarthyism. Asking neighbors […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Note: When I first published this diary, it was from memory, and with the help of some other attendees who were with me. Afterward, the Romanoff campaign shared some edited video clips of the event, and I made some changes. I stand by the corrected version. ************************************************** I attended […]
As posted here yesterday, supporters of this year’s version of a tough abortion ban ballot measure have submitted their petition signatures. The problem is that they submitted only barely enough signatures to technically qualify for the ballot–based on the usual percentage of signatures rejected by the Secretary of State in the course of verification, proponents’ […]
First off, I think we should bring in most tax revenues through a progressive income tax and limit sales tax to cases where we want to reduce consumption (cigarette taxes) or the tax goes to direct use of the good (gasoline tax). Second, if we are going to have sales taxes (and we are), then […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) According to 9News, proponents of the constitutional amendment that would confer to zygotes the rights of adult humans (can anyone say “special rights?”) only turned in 4,000 extra signatures over the 76,047 valid signatures they require to qualify for the ballot. That’s likely not enough padding. If the Doug […]
Interesting article in Politico yesterday, where Republican Senate candidate Tom Wiens makes the case that the only reason Jane Norton has any name ID is because there are no fewer than five other Colorado Nortons who are prominent politicos: Besides the Senate candidate, there’s Jane Norton’s husband, Tom, a former U.S. attorney; former Interior Secretary […]
This diary was deleted after a blogger broke on-line blogger community rules in the comments section following the diary. It is reposted by the author as a courtesy to those who still wish to discuss it. “BE THE CHANGE” Welcomes Bennet Supporters and Jared Polis “Building to Be the Change” planners recently announced Congressman Jared […]
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 […]
(Something tells us this won’t be the last “Denny’s Screaming Chicken” parody – promoted by Colorado Pols) Have you heard Jane Norton’s latest radical idea? Taxing your groceries, medicine and health care! Speaking before a small group of hardcore conservatives this week, Norton asserted that both a “national sales tax” and a so-called “flat tax” […]
“These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.” Thomas Paine’s words aren’t just a call to arms in time of revolution, bucking […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) In today’s Denver Post, we see one of the stories that has received a lot of attention from the political class moving toward its completion: The Colorado Senate narrowly passed bills taxing candy and soda and energy used in manufacturing despite fears that the taxes could cause layoffs. Evraz […]
