Ben Nighthorse Campbell Got Punk’d

I was happy to hear that former Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell has kept busy these last couple of years.  Unfortunately the jewelry he so tirelessly labored over has been stolen.  I will let the Senator explain what happened, “Oh man, you work your heart out and then some S.O.B. tries to take the easy way […]

Musgrave Officially Sorest Loser In America

UPDATE: Stay classy, says MSNBC: The Rocky Mountain News summarizes: Ousted Colorado Rep. Marilyn Musgrave is making national headlines – and not the good kind. Under the headline “Nobody Likes a Sore Loser. Even in Washington,” Musgrave scored a withering 78 ranking – approaching “utterly shameless” – on Newsweek’s The Dignity Index, described as a […]

Heritage Foundation Sounds the Trumpet to Fail

If they continue to fail to innovate, the Right will continue to lose. Heritage Foundation President Ed Feulner delivered these remarks to Heritage members attending the Fall 2008 President’s Club Meeting at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, DC. Given the results of the election, it’s obvious that Congress and the […]

If internet preparation tells the tale…

( – promoted by Colorado Pols) … then Bill Ritter is moving along in his preparations for a 2010 re-election bid, while Tom Tancredo is doing nothing. Ritter’s website at http://www.ritterforgovernor.com is at least up and running, although most of the articles there are placeholders. Meanwhile, the website “tancredoforgovernor.com” has been purchased, but nothing is […]

“Do Nothing” Allard Wants CSU Chancellorship

UPDATE: Liberal activist group Progress Now, as you can imagine, has a few things to say about this (release follows).

Allard’s spokesperson, Steve Wymer, says […]

Mark Cuban’s insider trading charge-more Rovian payback?

Today the SEC filed insider trading charges against Dallas Mavericks owner, Mark Cuban. No big deal? Think again.Here is the background on why this is happening. Cuban made his money as the founder of HDTV and  the HD cable network.  In 2003, Bethany MacLean and Peter Elkind of Fortune Magazine had penned a best selling […]

Hard Choices Confront Mark Hillman

Figuring out who goes where in the aftermath of the GOP’s defeats this election is like putting a puzzle together where the pieces have a delicate order of assembly in addition to the pattern–or nothing fits. The situation confronting potential challengers for the newly-blue CD-4 seat is a good place to start. Every prominent Republican […]

How to stay involved after the election

Advertisement “Are you suffering from rested feet, restless dial finger syndrome, or general lack of wonkitis? You may be suffering from post-election blues. Yes, after an election where you have spent every waking moment on a campaign, there can be side effects that occur after the election. Well, finally there is some relief for post-election […]

Brief History of 501(3)(c)

I was talking to an old friend today about Russia, which eventually led us to the 1950’s.  Seemed like a good time to bring up the 501(3)(c) thing, so I asked. It’s hard to gather information on why it was needed.  The Senate was debating the revised Tax Code (huge, messy and filled with filibusters), […]

The Colorado Labor Peace Act of 2009

Ok, the election is over, 47 & 49 lost, 53, 55, 56, & 57 were withdrawn, and 54 is looking to be eviscerated by the Supreme Court. And that is a good thing, re-writing the business/labor rules via dueling ballot initiatives would pretty much guarantee that we all end up worse off. But, the existing […]

Straight to the Senate

The first qualification for Senator is the ability to win office. It does not matter how qualified a person might be in other ways, he or she has to win a statewide race even if first appointed to the office. Usually the method of becoming Senator is to first win some other office and prove […]

Coming Out of the Woodwork to Challenge Wadhams

In the few short days since we first discussed potential challengers to Colorado GOP chairman Dick Wadhams, under fire for his party’s disastrous performance in this year’s election, the list of possible contenders for his position has only continued to grow. Fresh on the heels of former Scott McInnis chief of staff Mike Hesse’s ‘definite […]

The end of teacher tenure?

from the N.Y. Times Michelle Rhee, the hard-charging chancellor of the Washington public schools, thinks teacher tenure may be great for adults, those who go into teaching to get summer vacations and great health insurance, for instance. But it hurts children, she says, by making incompetent instructors harder to fire. Ok, ironclad job security is […]

The Ghost of Mike Miles

In the spirit of yesterday’s lively discussion, we received this email today: Fellow Democrat, did you know that Ken Salazar is campaigning on behalf of Joe Lieberman right now? Salazar thinks that Lieberman should keep his charimanship on the Senate Homeland Security committee to keep pushing his neo-con agenda. We at ProgressivePartner.org invite you to […]

The Prize

( – promoted by Colorado Pols) At a time when the Republicans are being forced to realign, something has been lost in the fight over the soul of the Colorado GOP; The Prize. Whether the party moves to the center or caters to the base, they have already won the policy race in 2010 and […]

Gazette Bemoans Loss of GOP Latino Vote

Apparently Latinos weren’t among the stupid voters that should stay home–or were they?

Why else would they come here? We don’t […]

A political paradigm

First, I apologize for the length of this entry. I am trying to find or create a position for myself in a political enterprise that I believe is of great value, but tragically underrepresented in political discourse and activism. Please bear with me as I lay it out in hopefully not too excruciating detail: As […]
