Shadowy DC-area group messes around with Colorado, abetted by GOP

Another 501(c)4 has clouded up the political atmosphere here in Colorado, led by former Texas oil lobbyist and Colorado governor Bill Owens, and other GOP stalwarts. “Western Skies” is all about dirty energy–and smearing Democrats. Key fundraisers apparently include nutty McNulty, Josh “Machiavelli” Penry, and Cory “Drill here” Gardner. Real Vail is reporting today that: […]

Here’s Why Palin Wasn’t Giving Interviews

If you’re wondering why John McCain’s campaign had been refusing to allow reporters to interview VP choice Sarah Palin, here’s why: Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin left open the option Thursday of waging war with Russia if it were to invade neighboring Georgia and the former Soviet republic were a NATO ally. “We will not repeat […]

Losing Your House? You Should Lose Your Vote, Too!

From the unbelievably sad but apparently true section, Michigan Republicans have apparently found a new way to attempt to disenfranchise voters – and they’re proud of the idea! Michigan Republicans plan to foreclose African American voters. The chairman of the Republican Party in Macomb County Michigan, a key swing county in a key swing state, […]

Oil Boom Creating Unsafe Working Conditions

( – promoted by Colorado Pols) The Republican cry for the past few months has been “Drill now, drill here, pay less” and more recently “drill, baby, drill”. Meanwhile, in the real world, there has been a massive increase in the amount of drilling operations. The increase has been so massive, in fact, that the […]

Barack in Dayton: “A new vision for a 21st century education”

We’re talking about the meaning of a common overused political expression rather than the issues we face. In an effort to get us back on what actually matters in the race, here is Obama’s speech today. And in the interests of fairness, if McCain spoke about any major issues today (I couldn’t find it), write […]

Palin: Sexual Assault Victims To Pay For Own Rape Kit. Is this the “Change” we all want?

Please share with any woman you know who might be voting for John McCain and Sarah Palin. This is a disgrace.   ‘Knowles signs sexual assault bill Published on Monday, May 22, 2000 9:00 PM AKDT JO C. GOODE / The Frontiersman / May 23, 2000 ANCHORAGE – Gov. Tony Knowles recently signed legislation protecting […]

Absit Omen

crossposted from MY LEFT WING “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” This election marks a potential turning point in American history. The American people will either […]

Opposing CO Ballot Measure, Rocky Editor Cites France, Rather Than Neighboring State

( – promoted by Colorado Pols) A good rule of thumb: Beware those who cite silly examples 5,000 miles away, when there are real-world examples just up the road that they could cite – but deliberately ignore because those close-to-home examples undermine their entire point. Exhibit A is Rocky Mountain News editorial page editor Vince […]

2012: Three Scenarios Part 1

Every election cycle, it seems, starts earlier and earlier as time goes on. We’re still two months away from the end of this one, but the 2012 election cycle started when the nominees for both parties’ VP candidates were chosen. The losers from both parties will now wait on the proverbial sidelines, watching and waiting, […]

Join us at Jack N Grill, 8pm, at 2524 Federal Blvd in Denver, to watch the […]

Michael Yon – Afghanistan

I think one of the best reporters on the war has been Michael Yon who moved from Iraq to Afghanistan about a year ago because that’s where the critical fight is now. From his latest: Where Eagles Dare  9 September 2008 Helmand Province, Afghanistan When I was briefed on the top-secret mission before it was […]

Bob Who? Get Off The Stage!

The Pueblo Chieftain supplies an amusing anecdote from yesterday’s McCain/Palin rally in the Springs–Bob Schaffer needs to work on his name recognition, but his surrogates are doing a great job getting his opponent’s name out there. While the large crowd was clearly happy to be there Saturday – some arrived as early as 6 a.m. […]

Taking Aim At Schaffer On The Western Slope

The ubiquitous liberal activist group Progress Now released a new video yesterday that they say will go up in Western Slope cable markets this week. Targeting Senate candidate Bob Schaffer’s ‘failure’ to protect Western Slope hunters, fishermen and tour guides from harm caused by oil and gas drilling, and narrated by Western Slope locals, it’s […]

Sarah Palin & John McCain visit Colorado Springs

from the Boulder Daily Camera (AP actually) we have: The banners, buttons and signs say McCain-Palin, but the crowds say something else. “Sa-rah! Pa-lin!” came the chant at a Colorado Springs rally on Saturday moments before Republican nominee John McCain took the stage with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a woman who was virtually unknown to […]

Presidential Election polls

from pollster.com we have what is looking good. Yes we have to fight with everything we have, but Obama is in very good shape. And we in Colorado are important!!!

Thank You Senator Obama

For saying something that needed to be said after the last week. Every single issue that he brought up there means a lot to people in this country. What you heard from Governor Palin and Senator McCain this week was partisan red meat. They say they want to change things, but they ignore important issues […]

Comments on Palin from her home town

This is very good.  The author does not attack, she discusses. http://www.andrys.com/palin-ki…

The Role of Experience

With the nomination of a relative newcomer to national politics, ColoradoPols, along with just about everyone else in the nation has pretty much hopped onto the “experience” bandwagon.  How much does experience in politics affect a person in the role of an executive? I thought I’d write this diary up about past presidents and their […]

A Question of Party Organization

I’ve been poking at the relevant election statues trying to figure out what happens when a candidate on the ballot dies before election day.  I’ve tried googling and have found nothing except that Westminster, in city elections, allows the replacement of a name on a ballot by a party until the date the ballot is […]

An Open Letter to America and Mrs. Sarah Palin

I wrote this with the Senator, along with other former Gravel staffers and friends of Mike’s. I’m no supporter of Sarah Palin or John McCain. These were just our collective thoughts. Sarah Palin’s Clean Slate By Senator Mike Gravel On rare occasions our nation has been lucky when new political leaders were selected from obscurity […]

Sarah Palin – In her own words.

There are those who use change to promote their careers, then there are those…who use their careers to promote change. Sarah Palin “I had the privilege of living most of my life in a small town. I was just your average hockey mom, and signed up for the PTA because I wanted to make my […]

Abramoff Sentencing Tomorrow

From Gale Norton to Bob Schaffer, big-name Coloradans are watching the criminal justice endgame of disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff with either schadenfreude or nervous apprehension–of course, if you’ve done nothing wrong, you’ve got nothing to worry about. Right? The Washington Post reports: Since his conviction on fraud and conspiracy charges, former lobbyist Jack Abramoff has […]

Hot Mike Fun with Conservatives and Chuck Todd

(Mmmm. Hot mikes. – promoted by Colorado Pols) a segment with NBC’s Chuck Todd ended today, Republican consultant Mike Murphy and Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan were caught on a live mike ridiculing the choice of Sarah Palin. “It’s over,” said Noonan, and then responded to a question of whether Palin is the most […]
