( – promoted by ClubTwitty) Repent, ye sinners! Exit your Interstate divided highway to hell… Take the next right, one quarter mile! Renounce your sinful Solitary Road Tanks! Ride in the ways of the righteous! Oh me, oh my. Worry beads getting worn. Is there no creme, no lotion, to magic elixir to erase these […]
I find myself reading Kaddish by Leon Wieseltier, Lamentations , and Ecclisiastes. My Father died 11-29-1993. It seems like yesterday. I miss him. Then I think of the people cut off from my life. I killed them in my heart. The scars of youth find me lamenting for what might have been. I don’t really […]
The dynamics of many of these races have changed since the last time the Denver Line was updated.
Below the fold is my take on where these races are going.
Not all live interviews on BlahBlah network are cablecast in their entirety. Following is the balance of the interview with M. Bennet, publicized a few days ago here, that further demonstrate his great courage, granite-like principles, and political bravery: Q. Mr. Bennet, if you thought that voting for Mother, God, and Country would lead to […]
Thanksgiving is a great American holiday. It is a time to remember that in spite of all the annoyances, all the problems, all the pain and difficulties in the world, and in our own lives, most of us still have it pretty good. Having traveled quite a bit around the globe, I understand that […]
We noted yesterday that while the Republican “Contract for Colorado” “Platform for Prosperity” might be a good political move to get voters to believe that the GOP actually has a plan, the meat of the “Platform” was a little weak. We aren’t the only ones asking just how GOP gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis plans to […]
. The decision on Afghanistan determines if he gets reelected. It determines what happens in the mid-terms. It might help determine if health care reform gets passed. It determines if he makes any changes in bank & finance regulation; climate change; you name it. . . He has already committed to a troop escalation. […]
I’ve been a Hillary supporter since 1991. Standing outside of Cherry Creek North 18 years ago, I recognized a man who gave a long-winded speech at the 1988 Democratic National Convention. I couldn’t remember which southern state he was Governor of, but I approached him anyway. He stood alone trying to start conversations with strangers, […]
A sampling of opinion in the last 24 hours from the state’s conservative blog aggregator, the “I’m so ironic” People’s Press Collective–while GOP establishment leaders sing praise for Scott McInnis and the “Platform for Prosperity,” is the base picking up the tune? Image courtesy El Presidente of Slapstick Politics I learned from yesterday’s front page […]
We want to start by acknowledging the burst of uncharacteristically good politics exhibited in the last few weeks by the Colorado GOP. At least in the gubernatorial race, Republicans went from the certainty of a long and bloody primary battle to a cleared field (sorry, Dan Maes) and the pretense of “unity” around Scott McInnis […]
Governor Bill Ritter is responsible for what happens in Colorado, and he can’t blame Colorado’s problems on the national economy–we read that in today’s Denver Post article quoting GOP candidate Scott McInnis, an article with a few important points worth dissecting. Starting with “bad management.” The above chart, released by the Senate Majority Press office, […]
But of course you knew that. On today’s symposium, the blowhard-in-chief and Republican Party head took this shot at Mark Udall: FATASS: There is no majority for the public option in an honest poll. “I’m not going to let four senators dictate to the rest of us…” Well, it’s going to be a lot more […]
Not much is known about what is actually going on inside Democrat Andrew Romanoff’s campaign for U.S. Senate. While it has been well-known and public knowledge for some time that Craig Hughes is Sen. Michael Bennet’s campaign manager, nobody outside of Romanoff’s inner circle seems to have any idea who is calling the shots for […]
As the Denver Post reports: As top Republicans began lining up behind gubernatorial hopeful Scott McInnis, Democratic Gov. Bill Ritter derided his opponent’s adoption of a new conservative agenda that debuts today and defended his own record on economic issues… At a Sunday-night news conference, Ritter characterized the Republicans’ multipoint agenda as “just (being) against […]
The Denver Post reports on the Republican unveiling of the “Contract for Colorado”: The agenda out today – dubbed the Contract for Colorado – includes such promises as limiting state spending and requiring employers to verify new hires’ immigration status. The plan specifically vows to undo a number of Ritter’s policies, including an executive order […]
Between the heated discussions on the Wheat Ridge billboard and continued talk of the President’s “real” birthplace, I found myself enraged a bit this morning. And then I thought, “Hasn’t the “Birther” issue been decided in court already? And if so, why do these “birthers” hate the Constitution and it’s legal system?” So after some […]
Boulder County DA Stan Garnett, if he ever did, will never say so again–the Daily Camera reports: Boulder County voters narrowly approved a ballot measure that extends the term limits for the district attorney from two terms to three, a recount has confirmed. The recount found that five votes — four “yes” votes and one […]
“When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.” –Edmund Burke
The Steamboat Pilot has an op-ed from Bob McConnell, the newest entry into the Third CD race against incumbent John Salazar. It’s a bit bizarre, to put it mildly, talking about fish in California and non-existent policy ‘threats’ to power lines. McConnell–who calls himself the ‘Cowboy Colonel’– starts off with a pitch for […]
As the Denver Post reports: If Denver-area voters do not approve a sales-tax hike and if the federal government fails to contribute $1 billion for the FasTracks public-private partnership, RTD will only be able to build one more rail line – the train to DIA, agency planners told area mayors Tuesday. RTD planning chief Bill […]
As The Denver Post reports, the conservative mantra that the government should just cut, cut, cut isn’t actually working out so well for the private industry in Colorado: Colorado’s ability to increase incomes and create jobs for its citizens is lagging behind surrounding states it must compete with, a report released Tuesday by the Metro […]
Rule number one for increasing your wealth is not do not spend principal. In fact, you need to re-invest interest/profit as well as keep all principal invested to grow. This holds not just for trust-fund babies, but for corporations, families, everyone. A company that stops investing in R&D, a family that does not provide it’s […]
State Sen. Dan Gibbs, the popular replacement for former Senate President Joan Fitz-Gerald in SD-16, has announced that he will not seek re-election to his state Senate seat, instead opting to run for the Summit County Board of Commissioners. Rep. Christine Scanlan, who was appointed to Gibbs’ House seat, is considering running. Release follows, says […]
(If by “diplomat” Penry means “I got rolled,” then we certainly agree. – promoted by Colorado Pols) This is what we’ll be posting at 9News.com shortly. Cheers, ajs Former Republican gubernatorial candidate Josh Penry has spent the week since he withdrew from the race, brokering conversations between his supporters and his main rival for the […]
A few strange items from today’s Denver Post regarding fundraising numbers from the Senate races. In the period from Sept. 10-30, Sen. Michael Bennet outraised challenger Andrew Romanoff $364,000 to $181,000. But Romanoff’s spokesperson had an explanation. Sort of. During those three weeks, Bennet raised twice as much as Romanoff, $364,000 to $181,000, among itemized […]
