( – promoted by Colorado Pols) I went to bed on Aug 15, 2006 in a pretty good mood. After changing my mind a coupe of times, I had settled on Jeff Crank as my candidate for congress. And when I shut my computer down at ten o’clock that night, it appeared that my man […]
Check out this link for our list of Primary Day Winners. Click below to read the “Losers.” Mary Alice Mandarich Joan Fitz-Gerald’s campaign manager was given a lot of credit, and justifiably so, for helping Democrats to take control of the state senate in 2004 and hold onto power in 2006. In the right setting, […]
Earlier this week, Ed Shultz had on T.Boone Pickens to talk about his ‘Pickens Plan.’ I listened to the show and was O.K. with most of what Mr.Pickens said. A lot of people were upset with Ed for having a guy who funded the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, which if he had not helped […]
Acorn, a radical, locally-oriented national organization backed by hard left unions formerly employed Obama. He trained their leaders and was close to the organization, and he probably still is. Based on legislation he introduced in the Illinois general assembly, Obama was the senator from Acorn, and he has a chance to be the president from […]
The Russians knowing that the US is bogged down in Iraq laughs off our threats Norway: Russia to freeze NATO military ties Russia has informed Norway that it plans to suspend all military ties with NATO, Norway’s Defense Ministry said Wednesday, a day after the military alliance urged Moscow to withdraw its forces from Georgia. […]
WEDNESDAY AM UPDATE: UPDATE: The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee just unleashed their own Kurdish oil deal spot (after the jump). The liberal veterans group VoteVets.org is holding a press conference tomorrow to announce their new ad campaign against Senate candidate Bob Schaffer. Release follows. The ad, about Schaffer’s dealing in Iraq and narrated by veterans, […]
( – promoted by DavidThi808) The prospect of FasTracks getting to Longmont and eastern Boulder County, on budget and on schedule, now appears to be absolutely zero. What makes the situation outrageous is that Longmont citizens have been paying for this project-one that my opponent Brandon Shaffer campaigned for in 2004- with little to show […]
We’ve talked in the past about Senate candidate Bob Schaffer’s ties to Referendum A, the failed water infrastructure ballot initiative that was perceived on the Western Slope in particular as a “water grab” by the Front Range. Which was a big deal, but nothing compared to the ire raised by somebody outside Colorado wanting to […]
Fatigued by bruising contested Republican primary races, Pol’s ranks of conservative bloggers has shrunk considerably in the last few days. Will they come back. Most, not often. Too bad. I learn a lot both by the intelligent people that post here, and the partisan kool aid drinkers who show every day how not to win […]
First posted over at DailyKos. “Behind all of these claims and positions by Senator Obama lies the ambition to be president,” you said — with a straight face — today. “What’s less apparent is the judgment to be commander in chief. And in matters of national security, good judgment will be at a premium in […]
On Saturday, August 16th, I attended a forum on immigration at a Catholic church on Colorado Springs’ west side. Being El Paso County, it was no surprise to find NRA members wearing Bob Schaffer buttons “guarding” the parking lot entrance, and turning away people by telling us the lot was full. Of course, later we […]
Some people may have worried that the CD-6 Primary could be the 2006 CD-5 primary all over again. The CD-6 primary certainly had that potential as four candidates entered the race, and the available endorsements mostly lined up against the GOP front-runner. Would Republicans in CD-6 be able to close the ranks after the voting, […]
Prior to the recent “no one can be fired” initiative I always figured that high-tech startups suffered from benign neglect from the state – and that that was a great state of affairs. But this initiative has gotten me thinking and I do realize that there are some things the state could do to help […]
let’s start with this tidbit from Jared Bernstein But tax policy can only offset the disconnect; it can’t repair it. For that you need robust job creation, restraints on capital excesses, deep infrastructure investment, single-payer health care, and long-term energy policy with job-creating investments in green tech and alternative energy sources. If we wait for […]
Colorado has a pretty good business climate, from the perspective of both business and labor. Is it perfect? No. But it runs pretty well. Companies are able to operate and succeed. Unemployment is a bit lower here than elsewhere, there are a lot of well paying jobs, and labor strife is pretty minimal. Most of […]
SATURDAY UPDATE: Coffman isn’t interested. As the Rocky Mountain News reports: Some Colorado Republicans want Secretary of State Mike Coffman to step down in the next two weeks so another Republican can run for that office this November. Their strategy is to stop Democrats from controlling the office for the next two years. But Coffman, […]
That’s the question you have to be asking yourself about John SIDNEY McCain. My friends, just take a look at what nonsense McCain has been spewing on the Russia/Georgia conflict. Here’s today’s latest: My friends, we have reached a crisis, the first probably serious crisis internationally since the end of the Cold War. This is […]
What a busy time-from the Beijing Olympics to the Colorado primaries-it’s been a busy week. But as both major parties’ conventions approach fast, we’re quickly getting to the point where both Barrack Obama and John McCain are going to have to announce their running mates. We examined this subject not too long ago, but a […]
Just like in real life, losers follow the winners. Today, click below to read our WINNERS from Tuesday’s Primary. Doug Lamborn Lamborn is a big winner not just because he won a three-way primary on Tuesday, but because he probably ended any future challenges by doing so. He has absolutely no chance of rising any […]
Here we have yet another “fair and balanced” panel with three Republicans, a former Democratic consultant and Alan Colmes, where comedian Sean Hannity is behind his bully pulpit persecuting John Edwards for his extramarital affairs. The humor with Hannity really begins around 2:40 in the video when Colmes brings up the fact that McCain cheated […]
The Grand Junction Sentinel’s Mike Saccone reports: Vice President Dick Cheney will stop in Colorado Wednesday to appear at a reception for embattled Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave, R-Colo. Anyone who has followed the state’s federal races has watched as the electoral winds moved the nonpartisan Cook Political Report to upgrade the race (in Democrats’ eyes or […]
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Friday: If you read this space, you knew this was coming. But even now that the odd-couple alliance between Ralph Reed and John McCain is complete, you still can’t believe that it’s true. On Thursday afternoon, Republicans around Georgia received an invitation from Reed, who will serve as a host of […]
1- Whether union backing matters in a district (and state) that has very little union representation. 2- Whether 5:1 spending matters when everybody (well, everybody rational and reasonable that is) agrees the ‘5’ is an attempt to buy the election. 3- How close the “expert elicitation” of Pols commenters is to the “expert” body the […]
(And Wil makes 3 out of 4 – promoted by DavidThi808) Dear Fellow Republican: With about a week before the Republican Primary Election to replace retiring Congressman Tancredo, I wanted to write you a letter and ask for your vote. I need your vote to help revitalize and restore our conservative principles in Washington and […]
Note: Steve emailed me his post and asked me to post for him. 27-year veteran and Colonel of Marines, defending America’s security in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Pentagon and elsewhere around the globe. Easily the most substantive experience in national security and defense of any candidate in this race. Strong legislative record in the Senate – […]
