Mitch McConnell was going for cheap political points and Ken Salazar answered him very well quietly including that McConnell’s proposal was a “phantom solution.” Kudos to Senator Salazar for being the responsible adult where his doing so will be used against him. Watching this got me thinking about the following: It looks like the main […]
First off, we have too many elected officials named Joe. Ok, on to Joe Rice. I had coffee with him Friday morning and he is another example of the incredible depth of the Democratic bench here in Colorado. Joe is that rare beast in politics where he is there to make the system better – […]
UPDATE #4: You didn’t think Dick Wadhams would go quietly into that good night, did you? Updated from the Rocky Mountain News: Democratic Rep. Mark Udall voted with Republicans today to keep Congress in session until lawmakers consider a crucial energy bill. He had promised to do so during a U.S. Senate debate Monday with […]
The The Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund organized a series of press events in front of gas stations in Rep. Marilyn Musgrave’s district today. Says spokesperson Rhey Lee, “It is reprehensible for Musgrave to claim that she supports energy efficiency and conservation while opposing real reform in fuel efficiency and real savings for American families. […]
Making for the strangest bedfellows anybody can recall, the Bob Schaffer campaign just sent out a fresh press release blasting Mark Udall over yesterday’s “missed vote” brouhaha–not a lot new to report, but the triangulation involved with this attack as it’s pressed for all it’s worth by the Schaffer campaign is remarkable. Says campaign manager […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa, a well-like and respected community leader in El Paso County, endorses Jeff Crank. This is a big pick up. Maketa did not endorse last cycle and generally doesn’t endorse in Primaries… as a significant community leader and a top law enforcement official this […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: Coverage of this story in today’s Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News wasn’t very good for Udall. Although his side of the story did make it in, the articles as written focused overwhelmingly on Dick Wadhams’ gloating over the ‘missed’ vote, with Rocky correspondent Ed Sealover adding helpfully that “there are some political […]
In a letter delivered to Senator Ken Salazar’s Colorado Springs office Bentley Rayburn responded to Salazar’s Pinon Canyon position. Where is Doug Lamborn? He claims to have brought a Brigade to Fort Carson yet he is completely missing from this fight. The contents of the letter follow. Dear Senator Salazar, Over the past year I […]
As the Denver Post reports: Carol Kreck, who was cited for trespassing while holding a sign outside Sen. John McCain’s town hall meeting on July 7, pleaded not guilty today in Denver County Court. The librarian and former Denver Post reporter was removed from the galleria at the Denver Performing Arts Complex while holding a […]
We wrote earlier this week about Republican Sen. Josh Penry’s bizarre comments about his plan to divert state money to speed up a section of I-70 in his district. Penry’s quote basically amounted to saying that he thinks voters would prefer to see an improved I-70 than to preserve their water resources. The plan devised […]
It’s been about a month since we did this last and a lot has changed. Information seems to be leaking daily as to which candidates Barrack Obama is considering, and John McCain is playing coy to get headlines. But below is an updated ranking of possible candidates for V.P. This is to generate discussion, so […]
No need for qualifiers here folks, I have been a pit bull for Edwards from the start of my blogging on KOS. But after reading this tripe on Huffpo, and hearing all the rumors of VP choices who are, at best,conservative democrats, and at worst a registered Republican, I no longer can stay silent. I […]
As anyone with a brain could have predicted, Harry Reid’s efforts to shame Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn into dropping his not-so-anonymous holds on 34 seemingly non-controversial bills went down in flames today. Dazzling senatorial flames… Even before the “debate” was over (which included a heinously long quorum call while I assume Harry Reid searched his […]
We got so busy last week that we missed a significant update on a story we’ve been following for some time. When we last visited the topic of Senate candidate Bob Schaffer’s brokering of a contract between his former oil company Aspect Energy and the Kurdish Regional Government in northern Iraq, Grand Junction Sentinel reporter […]
Oil shale has a lot of potential–and it always will. This old saw out here in oil shale country sums up the years of failed effort to develop this immature fossil fuel into a usable petroleum product. Desperate to find a winning issue, Republicans of late have seized on the size of the oil […]
This past week, a coalition of progressive groups gathered in Columbus, Ohio to make the people’s voices heard on the subject of affordable Healthcare. This group included SEIU,ACORN,Progress Ohio,UHCAN (Universal Health Care Action Network),SPAN (Single Payer Action Network),Justice for Janitors, and Gamaliel affiliates AMOS and NOAH Speakers: Bruce Colburn, SEIU Brian Rothenberg, ProgressOhio.org Stephanie Beck […]
Well… There is no one better qualified to answer that question than Hank Eng: I’ll reserve comment on the CD6 race. Instead, I’ll just say that I like the candid views that Hank shares in the video. It is good insight into the type of person that Hank is.
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Told you that I have to get up early to do the morning news… The weak dollar is good for some things – Durable goods orders rise rather than fall, other good news sends stocks up It’s OK if it’s a Chinese union – Wal-Mart signs 8% pay deals […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) In the “newspapers make news” category, The Denver Post unveiled its endorsements in the three Congressional primaries at noon today: Endorsement: Coffman’s got the experience We think Mike Coffman’s political and policy experience makes him the best choice for the 6th CD. Endorsement: Shafroth best of solid candidates Overall, […]
In my discussion of the 3 candidates running for CD-2 I stated that all three are really good candidates and that we would be happy with any of the three. In that discussion I said the following about Will Shafroth: Will is Mark Udall redux. Will will perform the blocking & tackling of being an […]
(edited to improve clarity–I was so interested in documenting and my daughter was climbing all over me that I skipped over a few steps) After the CBS coverup of McCain’s mistatement on the Surge timeline you thought this one would fade into the background since it wasn’t as bad as the Sunni/Shia flub and It […]
Mary Harold issued the following statement in support of Bentley Rayburn’s candidacy. Known to many as “Mother Mary,” she is the leading conservative activist in the Fifth District. “I have given much thought to the 5th Congressional race and what the qualifications are that would best and most professionally meet the requirements of that […]
Not so fast, as the Denver Post reports: A new poll shows 41 percent of Coloradans say Gov. Bill Ritter is doing a “good” or “excellent” job, a 13-point slip from May that comes after Ritter was getting high marks since his election in 2006. Rasmussen Reports polls, the latest of which was released Tuesday, […]
Self-funded candidate in the nation, that is, as the Summit Daily News reports: With a second quarter personal contribution of more than $3 million to his own campaign, Democratic congressional hopeful Jared Polis is now the top self-funded candidate in the nation. The Boulder entrepreneur’s campaign-to-date total of nearly $3.7 million in self-funding edged out […]
[POLS RESPONSE: We removed the diary because it was based on a report in The National Enquirer. We don’t allow the promotion of unfounded personal rumors here, and that includes the Bigfoot-sighting National Enquirer.] Earlier today Haners posted a front page diary discussing the National Enquirer story about John Edwards possibly having an affair. This […]
