A glimpse of the good old days, as the Denver Post reports: Prominent Republicans are favoring Denver lawyer John Walsh III for the job of Colorado’s U.S. attorney and have written letters supporting his nomination to Democratic Sen. Mark Udall. Walsh was one of three names submitted by Udall and former Sen. Ken Salazar to […]
As the Pueblo Chieftain reports: In front of a crowd of about 100 steelworkers and other union officials, Gov. Bill Ritter signed an executive order Wednesday afternoon to require state agencies spending federal stimulus money to give a preference for contracts that pledge to use U.S.-made steel, iron and manufactured goods. Ritter’s support from organized […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Hi; I know you’re very busy and all. I’m disappointed that you do not have time to sit down with me for an interview to give me, and the people who read my blog, a chance to find out what you want to do as Governor. But hey, there […]
From huffington post. The Senate health care bill is so compromised, some progressives argue, that it would be better to try to kill it than fight for its passage. In light of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s decision to give in to Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and agree to scrap a Medicare compromise, and with […]
No, not 2009. Barack Obama took on a mighty challenge in 2007-2008: tap into a widespread disgust with politics as they had been going for not just eight years but since 1980–arguably since 1968. The Democratic Establishment knew he was a formidable campaigner, wanted him to give his speeches on behalf of their Gal Hill. […]
From the Denver Post online by Richard Stacy: Our unelected Senator, Michael Bennet, told CNN’s John King the other day that he’d vote for Obama-Reid-Pelosi heath care, even if it cost him his job. Political courage? I don’t think so. Elite limousine liberal arrogance is more like it. To me, it reeks of “I know […]
We told you the chickens from gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis’ “Contract for Colorado” “Platform for Prosperity,” publicly sponsored and co-authored by hard-line former Rep. Tom Tancredo, would come home to roost. And today, the Denver Post reports: A year after angering some Colorado Latinos, Gov. Bill Ritter on Tuesday stood shoulder to shoulder with dozens […]
“Little progress can be made by merely attempting to repress what is evil. Our great hope lies in developing what is good.” –Calvin Coolidge
Attend a house party with a conference call with Andrew Romanoff on Tuesday, 12/15, 6-7 pm. Call to find the one nearest you. I got invited several times from different sources. I accepted several times, but it took awhile to get the call-in information. The call was late to start and then said nothing. […]
From the Denver Post Website: Colorado employees of King Soopers and City Market voted to accept a new contract from their employer, while Safeway workers rejected the offer, according to vote results released today. Read more: https://www.denverpost.com/ci_1… Based on the way that I am interpreting this, the King Soopers / City Market employees probably took […]
FINAL RESULTS: Congratulations to Middle of the Road and Danny the Red (hair), your new front page guest editors for the 1st half of 2010. Thanks to everyone who participated in this poll–honestly, that is. For the record we did not, after spending considerable time looking, find any evidence of tampering beyond the incident discussed […]
Sorry to break it to you, anti-Romanoff conspiracy theorists, but we’re not the only ones wondering what the hell is going on with Andrew Romanoff’s Senate campaign. As Susan Greene writes in The Denver Post: Andrew Romanoff promised a barn burner. I’ve seen barn burning. This isn’t it. The former state House speaker lacks ignition […]
As a reminder, Colorado Pols will be holding an election tomorrow, Tuesday December 15th, for two new front page guest editors. Thanks again to our front page guest editors for the second half of 2009, Club Twitty and ThillyWabbit, as well as special guest editor BarronX, for their excellent contributions over the past few months. […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Hi All; This is my 1st interview with Tom so as per S.O.P. I will let him drive the conversation. However, any good questions are appreciated so that if the conversation gets on a given topic, I have good items to ask to dig in for details. Interview is […]
For a change, let’s start with some facts: Fact: The United States experienced a large housing bubble which has burst, with a major follow-on impact on the entire economy. Fact: Homeowners wishing to stave off foreclosure cannot obtain court-ordered adjustments of their mortgages in bankruptcy court. Congress–Republicans plus some Democrats, including Michael Bennet of Colorado–defeated […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) I got the chance to interview Morgan Carroll yesterday. How someone can be that positive & energetic after years in the sausage factory is amazing. And in the unusual (unique?) category, her entire discussion was about increasing participation in the legislative process by citizens without a word about Morgan […]
CQ Politics reports on Rasmussen’s latest, our well-documented ambivalence toward early polls notwithstanding: Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) trails his best-known Republican challenger and also is struggling in hypothetical November 2010 matchups against much lesser-known GOP candidates, according to a Rasmussen Reports survey of 500 likely voters on Dec. 8. Former Lt. Gov. Jane Norton (R) […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) The Senate primary is shaping up to be the most boring primary ever. In my interview with Senator Bennet he said nothing about Romanoff. In this interview with Speaker Romanoff the little he said about Bennet was because I pushed him hard on this question. So why is Speaker […]
Just wanted to tell everyone the good news: Today, Clear Channel announced the launch of my new radio show on KKZN-AM760 – the statewide progressive radio station here in Colorado. The show runs every weekday morning from 7am-10am MST (9am-12pm ET). You can tune in locally on AM760 on your radio dial or stream it/podcast […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) No good deed goes unpunished these days–Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington have filed a complaint with the Senate Ethics Committee in response to Senator John McCain’s robocalls that targeted several Senators, including Michael Bennet. CREW filed the complaint against McCain for using NRSC (National Republican Senatorial Committee) […]
Arizona Sen. and 2008 GOP presidential nominee John McCain today headlined a fundraising email for former campaign staffer Lang Sias in the crowded CD-7 Republican primary, dealing another blow to the rapidly-dwindling prospects for ex-U.S. Senate candidate Ryan Frazier. Full text after the jump: writes McCain, “Lang understands, as I do, that prosperity and economic […]
“It’s like the good ol’ boys had a barbecue and said: ‘This is the way it’s going to go down. Now go let the peons know about it.” –Jerry Denney, Southern Colorado Tea Party
The Colorado Independent reports: As Colorado wrestles with an already lean state budget growing leaner by the day – one that has forced Gov. Bill Ritter to propose repeated controversial cuts to state services this year – a trio of budget busting anti-tax initiatives is speeding its way to the 2010 ballot. The dramatic nature […]
In 2006, the Democrats, Moveon.org and George Soros were pissed. Not only had George W. Bush survived his 2000 election, but he won reelection in 2004 handily. The most galling part of the 2004 election for the Dems was the state of Ohio. Ohio’s Republican Secretary of State had not only kept out questionable ballots […]
Ray, You are one of a small number of people on this site whom I respect. I feel grateful for all the hours you have put in at chicken dinners and innumerable other events working, in concrete ways, to get Democrats elected. Thank you. I am better off for your presence. I also believe you […]
