POLS UPDATE: The Colorado director of the McCain/Palin campaign, Tom Kise, just screwed up and sent the internal list of talking points about McCain’s suspension of the campaign to his press list (follows). Note to Tom: don’t bother using the “attempt recall” function in your email program next time, it just makes things worse. In […]
Amendment 54 will prohibit certain government contractors from contributing to a political party or candidate for the contract’s duration and two years thereafter; prohibit contributors to ballot issue campaigns from entering into certain government contracts relating to the ballot issue; apply the prohibitions on campaign contributions and ballot issue contracts to any contractor with a […]
A lot of us have been hitting the Republican’s pretty hard for all of the problems they created. And so, when they step up to do something very very good, it deserves notice. And so this is being front paged. from CNN House conservatives urged Congress on Tuesday to “take a breath” and consider other […]
www.bornalivetruth.org Without causing a huge fight, I’m just curious how people would stand on this one. Would you vote for or against protections for babies born alive after botched abortions? I brought up bigotry on another thread, but didn’t get much response. Bob was really the only one who posted. I admit that this is […]
Quinnipac’s latest: Obama leads 55 – 40 percent among Colorado women likely voters, while men back McCain 49 – 42 percent. White voters back McCain 51 – 44 percent as Hispanic voters go with Obama 68 – 26 percent. Obama and McCain are tied 48 – 48 percent with voters 18 to 34 years old, […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Insurance is a state business-there is no real federal insurance regulator. This is the reason the Fed had to work through the state insurance regulators in the bailout of AIG. Insurance regulators in the several states are of varying quality (which is one of the reasons the GOP pushes […]
The opponents of Amendment 58, the ballot measure that would eliminate a significant tax credit for oil and gas producers in Colorado, went a little too far bashing the plan in this weekend’s news–is this what lobbyist Rick Reiter meant to say? Seriously? As the Rocky Mountain News reported Saturday: The measure, if approved by […]
(We have some very knowledgable people here on Pols – thank you for posting this Danny. – promoted by DavidThi808) Short selling has long been a scapegoat for market failures, but any trader worth his salt will tell you its not short selling that is the problem. Part of the bailout plan is a set […]
This is Your Nation on white priviledge By Tim Wise 9/13/08 For those who still can’t grasp the concept of white privilege, or who are constantly looking for some easy-to-understand examples of it, perhaps this list will help. White privilege is when you can get pregnant at seventeen like Bristol Palin and everyone is quick […]
(Very well written – promoted by DavidThi808) While details are yet to be hammered out, the little in the released draft proposal make three things are clear: the proposal as outlined gives the treasury immense police power, it will call for an immense outlay of capital and there is no punishment of the idiots who […]
From Tanta: What I really really like is the idea of subjecting CEOs to the same petty humiliation everyone else gets treated to. I suggest that for every separate asset these CEOs sell to the government, they be required to write a Hardship Letter over a 1010 warning (that’s a reference to the statute forbidding […]
Danny – Please, can you please write a diary about if the bailout as proposed is a good idea. The answer appears to be no from TPM, Robert Reich, Sebastian Mallaby, Paul Krugman and more. Even Red State is leaning against it. This post will be deleted once Danny writes his Diary.
A targeted sales tax increase to provide targeted funding for persons with developmental disabilities. In addition, it prohibits reductions in the level of state appropriations in the annual general appropriations bill existing on the effective date of this measure for long-term services for persons with developmental disabilities.

from FiveThirtyEight we have great news: And we apparently are very very important. I feel bad for Jake Jabs because the only ads on TV for the next 6 weeks will be political ones. First we have the tipping point states. Those are the states that decide if it’s a close election. But then they […]
The measure would allow the general assembly or voters in the cities that permit limited gaming to extend the hours of limited gaming operations; to add roulette, craps, or both to the allowed games; and to increase the maximum bet up to $100. The extra tax revenue generated by the changes would be required to […]
The other day my mother started crying. “When will this ever end?” I didn’t want to tell her the truth, which is when Dad dies. The cause of her tears is Medicare Part D, written by the pharmaceutical industry for the Republicans. My parents are on a program, United Health, that is a good one. […]
from the Denver Post A deal to pull four union-backed measures from the November ballot will cost businesses millions of dollars, according to a source familiar with the situation. The money will probably be funneled into Colorado Businesses for Sensible Solutions, an issue committee formed Thursday by a Democratic political operative to defeat the business-backed […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) In a Senate race with an opponent who was recently all but booed off the stage at a John McCain campaign event in Colorado Springs, Mark Udall should be farther ahead than he is. The reasons for Udall’s inability to leave Bob Schaffer in the dust are numerous: Dick […]
Pretty good new Mark Udall spot: Red meat for the “I hate politics” independents.
Last week was a heady time for the brave Republicans that post on Colorado Pols. Diaries and comments from the GOP-inclined multiplied like toxic spills in Garfield County, declaring that Obama was all but over, that Palin was the electoral savior, that all was RIGHT in the world again. Oh, but what a difference a […]
Looks like the “Free Market” Republicans and Stock Brokers aren’t so in to the “Free Market” when it starts costing them their own jobs…. Look at this poll from CNBC http://www.cnbc.com/id/26740438 42% of CNBC reader’s thinks a Government bailout of a private company is a good thing? Hypocrites… every single one of them… How many […]
I am going to post a diary a day, one for each initiative, so we can discuss each one in detail. In order starting with… Amendment 46 – The effect of this is very simple and straightforward – it will eliminate any form of Affirmative Action by the state, including admission at state Colleges. Further […]
President Senator Obama’s stops in Grand Junction and Pueblo today clearly show that the West is hungry for change. Tomorrow he’ll be in Golden. It was to the Pueblo Chieftain that Sen. McCain made his gaffe about renegotiating the Colorado River compact. The saying here is “Whiskey’s for drinking, water’s for fighting” and Coloradans take […]
As the Rocky Mountain News reports: The approximately 600 American flags handed to local Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion chapters Friday were real. The story behind them was either good politics or a political stunt. The campaign of Republican presidential candidate John McCain claims the flags were among 12,000 left at Invesco Field […]
(Some very good points – promoted by DavidThi808) Salon.com… not exactly a bastion of balanced political views has a report detailing Obama’s challenges. They say that while race might be a factor with a small number of people, far more people just don’t relate to him or are not comfortable with his judgement. I think […]
