As The Associated Press reports, President Obama’s message to the nation’s schoolchildren today wasn’t really that big of a deal. Not like any rational person thought that it would be, but, you know: President Barack Obama steered clear of politics Tuesday in a pep talk to students that sparked controversy among conservatives, who accused him […]
As The Colorado Independent reports: U.S. Rep. John Salazar Friday responded to a League of Conservation Voters TV ad campaign blasting him for voting no on the Waxman-Markey climate change bill by defending his record on green jobs creation and criticizing the bill for its potential economic impacts for Colorado families. “I have a strong […]
I would support any US president addressing students. The sooner students learn that our President holds a special place in the world, as in: leader of the free; the better. It’s not just American exceptionalism, but that is a part. I watched the speech live on C-SPAN. It was a conservative values speech […]
I want to know what you think about this story. This does not look to me like a committed progressive who wants to offer Democrats a better alternative. This story makes Romanoff sound like a schemer whose negotiations broke down, and the decision to run against Bennet – which would hurt Ritter too if successful […]
( – promoted by ThillyWabbit) There are probably half a dozen people writing this diary right now, so hopefully I’ll click “publish” first. Regarding the motivations behind Andrew Romanoff’s decision to challenge Sen. Michael Bennet in a Democratic primary. I personally have a lot of respect for Romanoff as well as Bennet – my original […]
( – promoted by ClubTwitty) I met with Representative Jared Polis this afternoon at Canyon Cannon Mine Coffee in Lafayette. I swear, Jared has so much energy that if we could plug him in to the power grid we could close one coal plant. And it’s not just energy, the guy is bursting with ideas […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) On her show last night, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow devoted a segment to the potential 2010 Democratic primary between appointed Sen. Michael Bennet and former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff – and the implications of that primary on the national health care debate. You can watch the segment here: If […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Douglas County Schools are allowing principals to decide whether or not their students can opt out of an upcoming speech from President Obama that’s addressing America’s schoolchildren, per Westword. Last week, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan sent a letter to principals across the country, on view later in this […]
(I was not a huge fan of the bailout either, but there is no question that it’s being managed better by Bernanke/Geithner than Bernanke/Paulson. – promoted by ThillyWabbit) As Big Banks Repay Bailout, U.S. Sees Profit August 31, 2009, 3:57 AM See http://dealbook.blogs.nytimes…. All the headline grabbing overhyped politicization of the TARP was that the […]
“Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.” –Marcus Aurelius
Sean Duffy, spokesperson for the Scott McInnis campaign for Governor, gave Westword a call yesterday and tossed in a few shout outs about Colorado Pols (this post by a Pols user no doubt had something to do with that). From the Westword blog: Got a call moments ago from Sean Duffy, spokesman for Scott McInnis’ […]
The campaign of Sen. Michael Bennet is doing everything it can to show Democrats that Bennet is a strong health care reform supporter who supports the public option. Reaching out to proactively show Democrats that Bennet is firmly behind the public option is a great way to garner support from the left. It’s just two […]
235 comments in the first thread and 170 in the second, we’re just trying to keep things from getting too scrolly like the good hosts we are. And, action! Remember, this whole thing is riding on you (sockpuppets take note).
The hot rumor circulating this morning is that as-yet undeclared GOP Senate candidate Jane Norton had a deal–and now she doesn’t. And when the deal falls though, you usually walk away, don’t you? As you know, evidence that the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) was preparing to devote resources to Norton’s campaign–which would have had […]
(Why is it that Wadhams thinks it appropriate to jab McInnis in the eye publicly (after trying so hard to feign impartiality in the U.S. Senate race)? – promoted by Colorado Pols) In an e-mail to members of the Colorado GOP Central Committee earlier today, Colorado GOP Chairman Dick Wadhams addresses the growing unease over […]
UPDATE: Press release from Ken Buck, “full steam ahead.” Ken Buck confirmed today that it’s full steam ahead for his campaign for the U.S. Senate. Buck said, “While other candidates may still jump in the Senate race, one thing is clear – our party’s nominee will be chosen by Colorado’s grassroots Republicans, not by political […]
Yesterday I read with interest a story about the “Friends of McInnis Canyons” selling trees in an effort to raise money: http://www.gjsentinel.com/hp/c… I busted out my calculator and did some simple math. What if the good Congressman himself decided that restoring this area to its native habitat was a good idea? How many cottonwood trees […]
I started a thread within the “Romanoff To Challenge Bennet?” comments, which i’d like to extract and revive. The original discussion is here: http://www.coloradopols.com/sh… David writes, Reduced union membership is due to a changing world where the unions did not keep up. I work in the high-tech world and I have never heard anyone there […]
(Since the last Romanoff post on Friday received more than 225 comments, we’re guessing you’re interested in the topic. – promoted by Colorado Pols) The big political news over the weekend is (obviously) the Denver Post story about former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff (D) likely throwing his hat in the 2010 Democratic primary ring […]
I had lunch with Suzy Ageton today. I have to admit upfront that Suzy is my favorite councilmember. She is almost always a voice of reason when the discussion goes off into never-never land (a common occurrence here in Boulder). And that same grounding in reality and an instinct to use common sense was on […]
Let me first say that I really like the Denver Daily. Its free, and they have some good stories, and some interesting writers on local sports and the local scene. But the DD has the nasty habit of printing drivel from the Independence Institute. I am not sure how often, but it seems […]
2:43 — Good crowd today; probably fair to describe it as a polite crowd. Stay up to date and learn more at http://BennetForColorado.com/healthcare. 2:42 — Michael is taking questions from a number of people as he makes his way towards the door. 2:41 — Michael thanked the crowd for coming out today. [Applause]. 2:34 — […]
(Another shameless self-promotion. – promoted by ClubTwitty) COGA Western Slope Executive Director and obfuscater in chief mouthpiece Kathy Hall, whose employer is suing to overturn the State’s newly implemented oil and gas regulations, lauds the state’s oil and gas regulations in a recent column in the Post-Independent. That’s because her employer, duplicitous as usual, wants […]
Editor’s note: as this story has developed over the last couple of days, it’s become clear that all parties, beginning with Denver Police, have been improperly identifying the alleged perpetrator. The suspect uses the name Ariel Attack, and her gender identification has been misreported. We’re reminded of the recent successful hate crime prosecution by GOP […]
The story of the anarchist(s) who smashed up the headquarters of the Colorado Democratic Party is spreading rapidly–at least as fast as the original news of the crime spread around the country yesterday. And as one could have reasonably expected, every bit as much as Democrats would be in full war paint if the circumstances […]
