We have a number of reasons for the Democratic resurgence here in Colorado. But I think there is one major reason that is never discussed, the large number of great politicos we have. Especially when compared to total embarrassments like Marilyn Musgrave & Doug Bruce. Quality is a very powerful argument in the political contest. […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) All the news that’s fit to blog after the jump… UPDATE: – added story about product placement in TV news broadcasts Today in beard-disguised war criminals – Serbian genocide suspect Radovan Karadzic captured, asks for shave so as not to look like a hippie or Saddam anymore Obama abroad […]
Well…at least according to one pundit, Mark Udall may have a better chance of winning a Senate seat than his cousin, Tom, in New Mexico (who will likely win handily). From a political roundtable put together by Salon.com: http://www.salon.com/news/feat… [Thomas F. Schaller for Salon.com]: Let’s fly down to the Rockies. There are Mormon cousins running […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Obama in Iraq – Iraqis say they want US out by 2010, same time as Obama is planning (so much for the “cut and run” BS) McCain blows it again – In same article, McCain gets a fact he should know wrong, refers to securing “Iraq-Pakistan” border (the two […]
There seems to be a disturbing trend out there of many on the left being unable to handle any sort of humor directed at the presumptive Democratic Party candidate. Listening to Mike Boyles show yesterday morning, I heard a guest talk about how comedians were afraid to make any jokes at Obamas’ expense because they’d […]
(Read the comment by Josh’s campaign manager too, gives you good points on 2 of the 3 candidates – promoted by DavidThi808) Lois Court was walking my block and I happened to speak to her this afternoon. As you know, it was 95+ this afternoon – and, Lois was out walking house-to-house. She pasionately spoke […]
So the last couple of days here we’ve had a bunch of news about the SD-18 race. And finally, this morning, the Daily Camera has caught up. I think this is one of the things that is really hurting newspapers, by the time it comes out in the paper it’s old news to anyone reading […]
(I’ve gotten independent cooraboration on much of this – promoted by DavidThi808) Last night the debate between Rollie and Cindy got heated. There were a number of accusations that were not true and this morning there have been a number of emails sent to the press and decision makers in Senate District 18. These emails […]
Yesterday’s lead editorial blasts her “cynical ploy”: Like one of Pavlov’s dogs reacting to the sound of a bell, the 4th Congressional District incumbent has responded to a competitive election by reverting to form and signing on as a co-sponsor of a bill that would ban gay marriage. The Tribune has taken her to task […]
Ok folks, here’s how it actually works (in Hawaii). The Sierra Club has just released it’s Environmental scorecard for this years legislative sesson. And which party has the stronger environmental advocates in the House? Percentage-wise, the Republicans. That’s right, 14% of the Republican house members received an A while only 13% of the Democratic house […]
This is for the primary in SD-18, which is one of the few competitive primaries. I’ve talked to a lot of people about the Cindy vs Rollie race here. I’ve had a lot of people tell me that they don’t know much about either. I’ve had a lot of people tell me they find them […]
From the Toxic Sludge is Good For You camp, as reported in today’s Rocky Mountain News: Energy giant Halliburton, which owns a proprietary drilling technology frequently used in Colorado, on Wednesday questioned a proposed rule that would require oil and gas companies to identify and list all the chemicals used at a well site. “The […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) The Rocky has a relative puff piece on Will Shafroth that is just out. It opens thusly, The attacks are flying in the Democratic primary race for the 2nd congressional district, with Jared Polis now lobbing daily bombs against rival Joan Fitz-Gerald and Fitz-Gerald’s campaign responding with criticisms of […]
As the Fort Collins Coloradoan reports: With gas prices setting record highs nearly every day, Markey and Musgrave have made energy issues the centerpiece of their campaigns. Musgrave introduced a bill last month that she referred to as an Apollo-type program to build energy self-sufficiency. Markey had a news conference a couple days later to […]
Below are today’s letters to the editor from the Colorado Springs Gazette. Just one more example of the things I am hearing at public gatherings, at the grocery store, and among my neighbors here in Falcon. PS: To Natalie. These people endorse Doug Lamborn. I endorse Doug Lamborn. Looks like there would be a lot […]
Anyone remember Gilligan’s Island? Even a group as clueless as that was focused on getting off the island. You’re stuck on a deserted island – primary focus is getting off the damn island. Why is that so hard to figure out? Ok, the 3 amigos were asked the standard Daily Camera question "If you were […]
No, John Edwards is not raising money to stop poverty by performing marriage ceremonies, but he did influence me, and his advice directly led to me meeting my wife. At his homecoming rally in December of 2006 John Edwards told us – “don’t wait for the next president to be elected to do something, get […]
That question was asked by a guy touting his book. http://www.plnewsforum.com/ind… My reply is so good I reproduce it here :): Neither Obama nor McCain is a centrist. Each, in his own way, is a radical. And none of our strong presidents were centrists. Washington, Lincoln, TR, Wilson, FDR, LBJ and Reagan were all radicals […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Today the Grand Junction Sentinel has an oil shale face off between Colorado Senate candidates Mark Udall and Bob Schaffer. I will get around to Rep. Udall’s column, but since it is more factually based, I thought I would begin with Mr. Schaffer’s column, which is rife with […]
(All together now – tell Pols where they got it wrong – promoted by DavidThi808) Pols, Good to see a new big line, particularly with the recent developments in two. One thing, though. Hal Bidlack is listed with one of those pesky (R)’s next to his name. Listen, I know that CD-5 is pretty damn […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) The Colorado Contractors’ Association (CCA) announced today that it is officially endorsing fifth congressional candidate Bentley Rayburn. The organization is comprised of nearly 400 companies and includes statewide civil construction, public infrastructure construction/maintenance companies and related equipment, material, goods and service providers. Members of the CCA are involved in […]
From the Boulder Daily Camera Wish I could have been there – sounds like it was good: The three Democrats vying for Mark Udall’s 2nd Congressional District seat played it nice in a debate Friday, focusing largely on the environment, a “broken” Washington and the war in Iraq. Joan Fitz-Gerald, Jared Polis and Will Shafroth […]
As the Rocky Mountain News reports: A heated state Senate race took another turn this week when candidate Alice Borodkin mailed a package of letters to voters, noting that her opponent’s son lobbies at the state Capitol. Borodkin, a state representative, questioned former Denver City Councilwoman Joyce Foster’s ability to put voters’ interests before her […]
“… Polis is the type of Democrat that Washington needs-one who is not scared to take a stand about his beliefs.” Full link to the endorsement online: http://yellowscene.com/2008/07… Full text after the jump… Tough Call: Pick Polis in CD2 Primary Editor’s Note: Read our comprehensive look at the race to fill the CD2 vacated by […]
With the race to the White House in full swing, “down ballot” races aren’t getting a lot of attention. This time, I’d like to focus on the few states that are electing governors in the 2008 election cycle-and whether or not the seats could change hands between the parties. Top Five States Likely to Switch […]
