Lesson 1 from Massachusetts: Scott Brown received more votes than Martha Coakley, and was therefore elected to the U.S. Senate. Thus endeth the lesson. Massachusetts ain’t Colorado. Take it from an eye-witness. BUT the Senate race in Colorado could go the same way, albeit for slightly different reasons. One fact emerging from Boston is that […]
After Tuesday’s press conference that might be better described as the preacher gamely chatting with the choir while the rest of the Democratic world focused on Massachusetts, it’s time to take a good look at why Romanoff’s timing in all things campaign related continues to be a day late and a dollar short. This is […]
(Our condolences – promoted by Colorado Pols) I have not posted on Colorado Pols for at least a year, but was very saddened to hear that tonight, Sharon Adams passed away after a short battle with liver cancer. So many good things can be said about this El Paso County Republican. She was fiesty, but […]
As any follower of politics or football will tell, the fine art of Monday morning quarterbacking (or Wednesday morning quarterbacking in this case) is a much loved pastime in Washington DC. I am sure that before long, the media and the talking heads will appoint someone the scapegoat of the whole Massachusetts Senate Special Election […]
(The cause behind SB10-036 “Race through the Legislature” – promoted by Danny the Red (hair)) I think this has the potential to significantly improve our public schools. And so, this is Ritter’s press announcement in full (including some over-selling) – because if this works even half as well as expected, we’ll look back in 10 […]
Andrew Romanoff held a press conference today to announce that he is still running for the U.S. Senate and will not seek any other office or accept any other job offer in the meantime. So there’s that. On one hand, this is the first good bit of strategy (okay, really the only strategic move) that […]
Ok, this may be a bit out there but the smart money is on Brown and that got me thinking. There actually could be a gigantic advantage for us Dems and the country if Brown wins. Now stick with me on this and read to the end before calling me bad names. The Senate is […]
(Reasonable analysis screams “he’s out,” which would be an intelligent decision at this point, but we’ll have to wait and see – promoted by Colorado Pols) TUESDAY POLS UPDATE: According to multiple sources, Andrew Romanoff will announce that he is ‘recommitting’ to the U.S. Senate race–we suppose that’s the thing to do, since people were […]
In Saturday’s Longmont Times, Mayor Hickenlooper began to differentiate himself from Governor Ritter. Good idea since voters need to hear how he intends to answer the budget crisis and how his approach differs from McInnis. But rather than discuss Scott McInnis and his lack of a plan for just about anything, he targeted his remarks […]
Sorry about the slow down in blogging. Just about all of your verdundant bloggers are here. Lots of political talk. It is good to meet so many wonderful people at one time. updated to correct spelling using a full size keyboard 8:31pm
Responding to a flurry of news in the last week on the efforts to strike a regulatory balance for the state’s medical marijuana law, Sen. Chris Romer sent us some thoughts on the matter that we’ve reprinted after the jump. Says Sen. Romer, “A little common sense regulation will solve this problem so like New […]
As the Greeley Tribune reports: Congressional candidate Diggs Brown announced on Saturday that his campaign headquarters would be temporarily converted to a volunteer phone bank on behalf of Scott Brown, the Republican candidate for Senate in Massachusetts on Monday… Volunteers are asked to bring Internet-ready laptops and cell phones, if possible, but the campaign will […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel reports: The head of a free-market think tank wants Colorado to opt out of whatever health care measure Congress ends up approving. Jon Caldara, president of the Golden-based Independence Institute, filed language Friday for a proposed ballot question this fall that would give Coloradans the right not to purchase health […]
Science plays a very important part in our political sphere. The most obvious is the theory of global warming – do we invest trillions to address the problems it predicts? But it plays a part across the spectrum from food safety to medical research to… the list is endless. The question I asked was please […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Some Democrats were a little concerned about Treasurer Cary Kennedy after a couple of lackluster fundraising quarters last year, and the emergence of two (theoretically) well funded challengers. It looks like that concern paid off: Kennedy actually posted good numbers for the last quarter, well over $70,000, beating out […]
Read today’s story in Politico, and tell us how it can be spun in any way positively for Senate candidate gubernatorial candidate at-large (?) candidate Andrew Romanoff: In the wake of Democratic Gov. Bill Ritter’s surprise Jan. 6 announcement that he would not seek reelection, Romanoff had been making phone calls to prominent supporters asking […]
http://www.senate.gov/legislat… Think wayyyy back to 6 weeks ago when John McCain was robocalling into Colorado, targeting seniors to tell them to reject health care reform and contact their Senators and insist that Medicare be left alone. Senator Bennet drafted and introduced Bennet Amdt. No. 2826 which stated unequivocally that Medicare was not being cut and […]
( – promoted by Danny the Red (hair)) As state leaders do important work in promoting Colorado’s application for federal Race to the Top education reform dollars, Colorado itself continues to gain ground in its race to the bottom when it comes to K-12 funding. Education Week’s annual Quality Counts state school finance data study […]
( – promoted by Middle of the Road) As many are aware I am working with Coloradans for Medical Marijauna Regualation (CMMR). Our Executive Director Matt Brown has a piece he is posting on Huffington Post and I wanted to share it with you on POLS. POLsters meet Matt Brown… Last Saturday I found myself […]
The New York Times has published a story about the election for Sen. Edward Kennedy’s seat. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01… It is turning out to be a much tighter race than was expected, given that Democrats outnumber Republicans by approximately three to one. The most recent poll, by the Boston Globe, showed Ms. Coakley, the Democratic nominee, with […]
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 […]
Don’t know why, just couldn’t fall asleep last night. Maybe it was that Aussie wine they served at the reception. Can you imagine that? Serving Australian wine at a reception for a sitting United States Senator? Good thing we weren’t in California! Anyway, about 3 o’clock I thought I heard a noise, but before I […]
I entered the room and immediately felt the call of the dark side. Coming from Republican parents the dark side of the force was growing inside of me. The evil Jedi knights Penry, Brophy, Stephens, Lambert, & Nikkel all faced me. I was about to succumb. Then I heard them, the ancient Jedi masters on […]
But I cannot. Let me just say this: I have detailed facts about something that happened in the past 30 hours that would support opinions I and others have expressed on CoPols.com in the past year. I will post when one of three things happens. Someone attempts to deny it for any reason: directly to […]
(Why didn’t you promote this-local color is so critical – promoted by Danny the Red (hair)) In a house district that consistently leans red in both voter registration numbers and elections, there is a bright spot emerging from the Democratic side of things. Local Berthoud resident and small business owner Karen Stockley, a current School […]
