( – promoted by Colorado Pols) By now it is a tired refrain, that Republican candidates apparently still view as golden, to bemoan the death of the oil and gas industry in Colorado. They then lay the perennial and predictable problems wrought by the cyclic and highly volatile nature of commodity economies at the feet […]
What is it about Colorado that makes Obama/Emmanuel/? so ready to want to take over and run our Democratic Party and state? I know Obama had the stage at Mile High Stadium for an hour, but that did not give him the keys to 777 Santa Fe. He is as nice a guy as I’ve […]
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the dominance of the two major parties. In general this duopoly leads to some bizarre and undesirable affects. (more on that later) But more specifically I’ve been thinking about why I am currently a registered D. And why it matters. The easy answer is that after an adult […]
Colorado Ethics Watch released their top 5 ethics scandals of 2009 yesterday–release follows, topping the list is gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis’ infamous “our 527” voicemail. Those were the good times, back when supporters of Josh Penry handled McInnis’ bedevilment and Democrats made popcorn. Don’t you miss those days? Rounding out their list you have the […]
There was a fundraiser for Senator Bennet this evening at KC Becker’s house in Boulder. I’ve never been to one of these so I went to see what is was like (and had permission from the campaign to blog about it). It was snowing like crazy but if that reduced turnout, then it’s a good […]
(Bumped into Thursday for self-evident reasons – promoted by Colorado Pols) After a wild 24 hours that saw more than 500 comments from Polsters in two separate posts, its time to take a look at the questions and answers from one of the more surprising political announcements in recent Colorado history. Here’s what we know, […]
What I reported was Rep. John Salazar is telling good friends he believes his brother will run. Big difference. Sorry if there’s any confusion. –Adam
UPDATE #6: Rep. Ed Perlmutter tells 9NEWS he’ll support Salazar. That’s everybody, right? UPDATE #5: At a press conference this afternoon, Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper did not rule out a run for Governor, stating he would decide in the next few days. Hickenlooper indicated strongly that the forthcoming decision of Ken Salazar would directly affect […]
You elevated John Hickenlooper to political sainthood in Ritter Ends Re-Election Campaign. The HickTruther movement starts now. 1. He has pissed off city law enforcement. Recent raise reductions aren’t sitting well with the DPD. The sheriffs don’t like Hick after clashing over pay, firings and arrest powers. Police are the most powerful union in the […]
A very brief mention for the Denver Post’s report from..well, some other state mistakenly referred to as Colorado herein: A conservative policy group says Colorado is one generation away from a California-type fiscal crisis, thanks to what it calls excessive taxation, uncontrollable spending and an environment hostile to job growth. Americans for Prosperity Colorado, which […]
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is eagerly circulating the growing number of video clips of Senate candidate Jane Norton, “loving the passion” of the “Tea Party” and their wacky ravings–from “Obama is a Muslim” to “letting babies die on the side of the road,” making her own call to ‘abolish’ the Department of Education look […]
High-powered elections lawyer Mark Grueskin, representing the committee Protect Colorado’s Communities, today filed a complaint alleging significant violations of Colorado law by proponents of Amendments 60, 61 and Proposition 101–better known as the “Dr. Evil” initiatives. Release follows: says Grueskin, “You don’t get three initiatives on the ballot without spending thousands of dollars – or […]
Two competing schemes to regulate the burgeoning medical marijuana industry in Colorado we’ll be talking more about this session, summarized by the Boulder Daily Camera: The debate facing Colorado legislators on medical marijuana regulation is taking shape with the release of two draft bills, one from state Sen. Chris Romer, a Denver Democrat who has […]
Over the weekend I read a post on this site that garnered considerable praise. But even after reading it three times, backwards and forwards, I couldn’t fully understand the author’s meaning. Was he/she refuting a single poster on another blog who apparently found Grover Norquist an attractive one-night-stand, and declaring that she was The Biggest […]
While deliberations continue on who should be nominated to serve as Colorado’s next U.S. Attorney, another name has been suggested to us as a possible ‘consensus candidate’–Boulder County DA Stan Garnett’s name has made rounds in the last few days as a qualified and uncontroversial choice, citing a long record in private practice, local roots, […]
“Be not simply good; be good for something.” –Henry David Thoreau
The Colorado Independent followed up Thursday on a piece of legislation we discussed a few days ago in relation to the recent disaffiliation of Rep. Kathleen Curry from the Democratic Party. To briefly recap, we described the bill as “crafted by the insurance industry,” seeking a moratorium on new health coverage mandates of the kind […]
As Danny has said (and I agree), this is the #1 national security issue. And as Ariana Huffington (and others) have pointed out – right now the Dems have given Wall St everything they asked for – and told the rest of us to go piss up a rope. So Dem re-election depends on addressing […]
(Let the festivities begin! – promoted by ClubTwitty) Fresh from the Romanoff camp to your e-mail inbox (emphases mine): The people of Colorado won’t get to elect a U.S. Senator until next year, but some outside interest groups have already voted. Click here to cast your vote before midnight tonight. The nation’s biggest insurance companies, […]
Earlier this week in a reply* I posted to JO and Sharon Hanson I disputed their claim that no one at CoPols.com has posted any reasons to support Bennet. In that same reply I challenged JO & Sharon to explain why they are for Romanoff beyond they are against Bennet. I didn’t bother to […]
How often do we get a blue moon’s ghostly light bridging two decades? Does it foretell lighter days and shorter nights to come, or is it merely an illusion that flipping a calendar portends a change? Like Janus, I see a bit of both: –By March, “health care reform” will be a dim memory. No […]
The Nation has selected several winners for their MVP in different categories. My favorite is Elizabeth Warren. I haven’t decided who I think I would vote for in Colorado but if you have a favorite nominate away. http://www.thenation.com/doc/2… Most Valuable Federal Appointee: Elizabeth Warren The Harvard professor, a scholar of the dwindling middle class […]
(How could we not promote poetry from a member of Congress? – promoted by Colorado Pols) I wrote two poems for the new year, the first is a retrospective of 2009 and the second is my fondest wish for 2010. Happy New Year Coloradopols family! Jared (poems after the flip) 2009 2009 come and gone […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Hi all; Short notice – I have an interview with Dan Maes tomorrow evening. This is the standard first interview so mostly I will let him drive the conversation. But it’s good to know what I should ask for follow-up on items he dives in to. thanks – dave […]
(What we’ve been saying for months, guess they couldn’t ignore Santa – promoted by Colorado Pols) The Denver Daily News follows up on ProgressNow Colorado’s “early Christmas present” — a copy of the Colorado budget — to former congressman Scott McInnis. McInnis asked on his plans to balance budget Former Congressman Scott McInnis is being […]
