( – promoted by ClubTwitty) One thing Josh Penry and Scott McInnis have in common is their campaign messaging that Gov. Ritter has destroyed and driven out the oil and gas industry in Colorado. Colorado’s energy sector has been dealt a second blow in the form of restrictive new rules and regulations. Josh Penry And… […]
As the Denver Post reports: Dueling news releases from the Democratic speaker of the House and the Republican Senate minority leader over the state budget crisis likely signal a testy legislative session ahead. Not only will budget woes consume the 2010 session, but the arguments will play out in a year when the minority leader, […]
So liberals are less than delighted with the revised House health reform legislation revealed yesterday–there are complaints building that too any concessions were made to so-called “Blue Dog” conservative Democrats, that the “public option” insurance entity provided for in the new bill lacks the teeth to really bring costs down as originally intended. But the […]
A few days ago, we noted GOP gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis’ decision to forego debates against his Republican primary opponents. Now, we enjoy the theater of a good nickname as much as the next pundit, and “McChicken” is as clever as any, but most of all McInnis’ decision to avoid debates represents a threat to […]
( – promoted by Barron X) Today’s revelation by the Times ( http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10… ) that the CIA has long been funding the brother of Afghan Pres. Hamid Karzai–said brother reputed to be tied to heroin trafficking–for services including the recruitment of “forces” under the CIA’s direction in the Kandahar region raises a mega-question about the […]
We’ve been talking about gubernatorial candidate Josh Penry’s problems recently with some of his central campaign themes being the subject of deconstructive media scrutiny. It’s worth pointing out that although we are the ones taking heat for zeroing in on some of the wider gaps between Penry’s rhetoric and the factual record, particularly with regard […]
As you all know, Congressman Scott McInnis recently confirmed that he has absolutely no intention of debating his chief GOP rival, Senator Josh Penry: http://www.aurorasentinel.com/… Without further ado, I’d like to introduce you all to McChicken. Feel free to dance along…and good luck getting this tune out of your head: It’s worth noting that this […]
I think many Colorado Democrats, like me, have yet to make up their mind in the senate primary. It seems like both Michael Bennet and Andrew Romanoff have their predictable bases in order. Bennet has captured the ‘Obama can do nothing wrong’ crowd primarily because OFA has been campaigning for Bennet since the appointment, and […]
With the upcoming grocery strike, we’ve had an interesting discussion about unions here. I figure, let’s break it out in to its own diary. What is the future of unions? The number one problem unions face is that their leadership by and large is living in the past. They are applying the solutions of the […]
(Note: we’re trying to get to Arvada and Wheat Ridge before November, but any of you out there with a good pulse on either city and the various races, please create your own diary and we’ll promote it).
Just a few months have passed since Golden was spared a costly and pointless recall election, the city is set to hold its regularly-scheduled election next month. Below is a rundown, “The Golden Line,” if you will, of how those races look from here.
Youtubed, the ‘donate’ button former White House press secretary Dana Perino refers to is here: And we find ourselves in agreement with Denver Post columnist David Harsanyi: Endorsements are not particularly relevant, but two things did jump out at me: First, I’m fairly surprised to see any video endorsement feature a candidate palling around with […]
Do not stonewall Karen E. Crummy for two years. She’ll throw a good, stiff investigative report in your face and make you squirm just when you thought you were on your way to bigger and better office. Stephanie Villafuerte can’t be bothered to comment on whether she lied to FBI agents during their investigation of […]
I’ve recently joined the Colorado Democratic Party Labor Initiative. It’s the place where the action is when it comes to Colorado Labor. Mike Cerbo (executive director of Colorado AFL-CIO) frequents the meetings. It meets on the third Wednesday of every month at 6pm. I get off work at 6pm on Wednesdays so I arrive late. […]
You’ve probably seen this ad already, started yesterday with pretty good circulation: “Colorado’s On The Move” is reportedly a 501(c)4 organization, so enjoy the guessing game on who’s paying for this, but the ad plays up one of Gov. Bill Ritter’s to-the-bank issues (The deep-pocketed New Energy Economy™). And we’d actually not realized Forbes rates […]
After all, she “got her start” in his Congressional office. From yet another cryptic, hard to follow campaign e-mail, McScandal’s finance co-chair touts the endorsement: Good Evening, Our campaign is honored to have received the endorsement of former White House Press Secretary Dana Perino. As many of you know, Dana, after graduating from CSU- Pueblo, […]
The 2010 election is more than a year away, and most polls at this point in any race are about as accurate as career advice from Jay Cutler. So for political junkies, the quarterly fundraising reports are the best way to gauge the strengths and weaknesses of an individual campaign. The amount of money a […]
Imagine you’re a college student or young adult in Anytown, USA (or Anytown, Colorado, for that matter). You’ve saved up for months and are ready to take a vacation to a popular skiing destination. But where to go? Tahoe? Snowbird? Vail? And then you find out: Breckenridge just removed all penalties for adult marijuana possession. […]
Have you ever heard of him? Senator David K. Karnes of Nebraska was the Republican appointee to fill out the rest of Senator Edward Zorinsky’s term when he died in 1987. He was an unexpected appointment as he had never held elective office before being appointed by Governor Kay A. Orr. Initially everything seemed to […]
Simultaneous blastmails delivered a short while ago, those dratted Conservadems at it again: The public option will provide Coloradans much-needed competition and choice for health care. And with the majority of Senators, Representatives, and the American people supporting a public option, its passage would seem inevitable. But in fact, the public option is in real […]
Today was the opening of the SharePoint Conference and it was kicked off with a keynote speech by Steve Ballmer. The message that came through loud and clear – Microsoft is back baby and it’s loaded for bear. They’ve got Google, Oracle, & IBM squarely in their sights and those three may not even see […]
Microsoft started their annual SharePoint Conference today yesterday. (Or sort-of started it – all that went on today was free dinner and the exhibit hall open for 3 hours. So the show really starts tomorrow.) So what is SharePoint and why should you care? Factual boring answer — SharePoint is a portal and workflow framework […]
The Congressional Delegation Town Hall meeting went very well. Though slightly raucous, the Democrats clearly indicated that the status quo is not acceptable, that coverage, containing costs i.e. payiig for health care reform without increasing the deficit, and providing more competition detail the core of the bill that they wish to get out of the […]
Well, so much for that. Democrat Dan Slater is pulling out of the race for Attorney General after just a few weeks campaigning, writing to supporters that he just didn’t have the fire to run a statewide race. Full announcement after the jump. This is the second time I’ve run for elective office. I’ve […]
We’ve followed with varying quantities of dismay the antics of state Sen. Shawn Mitchell for years, with bemused memories of his “they all look the same” humor on the Senate floor, the truly funny stuff like that Capitol security breach, though a little more dismayed when it veered into sexual harrassment territory during the recently […]
A friend of mine once told me he loved politics because every two years he got to see new and creative ways that Democrats screw up a sure thing. He won’t be disappointed in 2010 if Andrew Romanoff stays in the Senate race. Andrew Romanoff is a good and decent man. Most of us CO […]
