Here’s Peggy on the Palin Pick The Sarah Palin choice is really going to work, or really not going to work. It’s not going to be a little successful or a little not; it’s not going to be a wash. She is either going to be magic or one of history’s accidents. She is either […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) By: Keith J. Igoe Once, we believed that living among families that shared our values of family, hard work and being a helpful neighbor was a unique privilege of being an American. Once, we believed that expressing an opinion – no matter how divergent from the norm – was […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) I want to speak directly to my fellow Democrats and independents who are watching or listening tonight. I want to – I want to speak directly to you out there. I know many of you are angry and frustrated by our government and our politics today, and for good […]
While I have been promoting the idea of focusing on the ideas and opportunity Barack Obama offers, we all need a good laugh and I find the irony in tonight’s RNC Fundraiser/Convention too much to pass up. We saw Dubya bow out and make a speech via satellite like an actor who is too good […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Dave had a point with his “PalinPols” comment, but since it’s all we seem to want to talk about… You might recall that the Palins were once members of the Alaskan Independence Party, fringies who want to secede from the USA. Well, they might have switched parties (Mr. Palin […]
The New York Times is finally questioning John McCain’s independence and judgement after he buckled to the pressure of the religious-right in the Republican party. (Sorry this diary is so long but this editorial was too good not publish in full – GB) Candidate McCain’s Big Decision More often than not, the role of a […]
Update added at the bottom. from Broadcasting & Cable McCain just pulled out of a Larry King interview because CNN was “too hard” on Tucker Bounds. If Larry King is too scary, what’s left in the MSM? This is “ran away, run away” mode – big time. And the bad news keeps on coming. From […]
When a party resorts to lies, fear, and intimidation to win elections, it’s a pretty good guess that they’ve bankrupted their own innovation and offerings. It pains me to say that the party to which I once belonged – the party of Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and Gen. Dwight Eisenhower – has become nothing more […]
UPDATE: Hat tip to Sir Robin for staying on top of this [Democracy NOW is] urging journalists and concerned citizens to contact the office of St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman (651-266-8535) and the Ramsey County Jail (651-266-9350) and demand the immediate release of Goodman, Kouddous and Salazar. Find out more at DemocracyNow! So much for […]
I am in total agreement that the Bush/McCain mentallity is flawed and full of holes. (Let’s not have a B/M on election day America) I see Sarah Palin as a huge mistake for many reasons. But, attacking those who support them, or, holding their beliefs against them only causes the to put up defenses. As […]
This past week I got to attend the DNC Convention and take in some of the music on Thursday. So here are a few clips which include: Chuck D (with intro from Jim Hightower and an interview with Chuck D himself) Yonder Mountain String Band Sheryl Crow (Sorry I could not include Stevie Wonder’s ‘Signed […]
As you know, I am not a fan of the Just Cause and
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Last night I invoked the name of George McGovern’s disastorous 1972 VP selection, Senator Thomas Eagleton. Matt Yglesias channeling his inner me this morning, …normally VP choices don’t make much of a difference politically, but a VP candidate with no experience dealing with the national media who the candidate […]
and the irony of that should be lost on no one. Of course there can be no guarantees, but the odds are good that it will come to pass. Senator McCain will cross over the life expectancy for the average American man during his first term. Not wanting to get into the details of life […]
The Who’ll Win in CD5 Poll a year ago shows how different things can look after a year. Doug Lamborn – 17 votes (21.25%) Jeff Crank – 63 votes (78.75%) The charitable interpretation is that the addition of Rayburn to the mix that killed Crank’s chances. But there really was reason to think the […]
In addition to being Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s epic moment, the final day of the Democratic National Convention at Invesco Field gave Senate candidate Mark Udall his biggest audience yet. And he didn’t disappoint, as the Denver Post reports: Rep. Mark Udall challenged the Democratic National Convention crowd Thursday, reminding them that it is […]
WTF? Put this in the category with $5 million a year to be rich, I don’t know how many homes I own, my wife spends $500,000 a month on credit cards, people facing foreclosure should just get a 2nd job and the economy is fundamentally strong. John Goodman, president of the National Center for Policy […]
( – promoted by DavidThi808) There were some good zingers thrown out tonight; it seems we’re finally getting into “red meat” territory, and there are bound to be some trial balloon slogans being pushed about. What are your favorites?
Another update from the GOP Convention Site in St. Paul… It was orientation day here in the massive Xcel Center complex. After picking up my credentials I spent most of the day touring the facilities and familiarizing myself with the layout and basics of media operations. I was set free by late afternoon and was […]
I have to admit I just about fell out of my seat reading this: http://www.slate.com/id/219776… I really enjoyed this: One panelist–I think it was Peter Groff, president of the Colorado State Senate, got the ball rolling by complaining that when the children’s agenda meets the adult agenda, the “adult agenda wins too often.” It is […]
The anti-union folks came up with the execrable amendments 47 & 49. (Spoiled trust-fund baby Jonathan Coors may have instigated this but the business community sure jumped on board quickly – and as such deserves equal opprobrium.) So the pro-union folks came up with their counterstrike of 53, 55, & the Health Insurance Initiative (not […]
From the Colorado for Obama blog. Today, people across the state of Colorado are showing their excitement for Barack’s running mate, Joe Biden. Here’s what they have been saying: Colorado couldn’t be more excited that you were chosen as Obama’s VP! Congratulations, and I look forward to seeing you this week in Denver!!! Kristopher in […]
Obama went for a national fix rather than a vp nominee who could help him in, say, Virginia or Indiana, because BO is so weak on experience in Washington and on foreign affairs. Biden does nothing for BO on national security, because his expertise is in international politics, not the military or fighting wars. On […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE: The Drudge scoop had me worried for a bit, but I love it when I’m right. Doesn’t always turn out that way, so I savor the moments when it does. 🙂 Based not at all on politics nor inside information nor gut instinct, just a simple examination of […]
On my way back from vacation yesterday, I couldn’t help but notice the strange company I was in as I flew in to Denver- black suits everywhere. Of course, business types of the nation are flocking to Denver to participate in the Democratic National Convention. The Party’s location choice of Denver is significant, as it […]
