We’ve just lived through a seven year experiment with conservatives in charge across the board (including the last year and a half when it takes only 40 senators to threaten filibuster and block anything they want). The results? • The highest disapproval ratings of any president in modern history. • An economy in tatters. • […]
Ok, once again Bob Bacon’s name crops up attached to a really good proposal. From RectangularSquareState we have: In the waning days of the Colorado Legislature, a Single Payer Healthcare resolution has just been put forward by Ft. Collins Senator Bob Bacon (SD-14). The resolution is short, sweet, direct, and to the point. I read […]
I had lunch today with Joe Neguse. He’s a 2nd year law student and is running for the 2nd CD C.U. Regent slot. To break with the "2nd" theme so far, he’s hoping to place 1st in the election. Does anyone remember Michael Keaton’s character in the movie Night Shift? That’s Joe, so much energy […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) In a Landmark 6-3 decision, the US Supreme court backed the position held and defended by a majority of conservatives here on Colorado Pols. “SEE, I told ya so” said NEWSMAN, noted Conservative blogger and all around good guy. OK, Enough fun…. the real story follows…. Supreme Court says […]
Jeremy Pelzer of PolitickerCO.com interviewed Bob Schaffer and Dick Wadhams last week and almost immediately hit a roadblock when he asked Schaffer about the Marianas controversy. Read the entire interview here: http://www.politickerco.com/je… Schaffer: Why don’t you take the opportunity to substantiate your comment just now? PolitickerCO: Sure, sure. This is just -well, what is your […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Oops, um nope. Republican Senator Shawn Mitchell has a bright future in conservative Colorado politics and I was pleased to see this bill come forth. Senate Bill 117, authored by Broomfield Republican Sen. Shawn Mitchell, would cap exorbitant permit fees charged by some cities for solar-system installations on homes […]
People who believe the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision giving the 2000 presidential election to George W. Bush was politically motivated should just get over it, says Justice Antonin Scalia. Scalia denies that the controversial decision was political and discusses other aspects of his public and private life in a remarkably candid interview with 60 Minutes […]
CD-2 frontrunner Joan Fitz-Gerald has mostly solid progressive credentials to make her case for Democratic nomination, but there a couple of known potential chinks in that armor. One is the Iraq war, as as been thoroughly aired in this forum, and the other is her significant donations from oil, gas, and mining companies. Fitz-Gerald, for […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Garcia wrote an op-ed in this morning’s Gazette that gently refuted the claims made in Wednesday’s paper regarding the financial status of the County Party and the results from the Caucuses. http://www.gazette.com/opinion… We are on track for the most aggressive growth we have ever experienced both financially and in […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel reports: The candidates getting all the airtime in the race to be the next U.S. president may be Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain, but now Jonathan Allen of Olathe has joined the fray. Allen recently announced he’s running as an independent for the highest office in the land, […]
Looking at Electoral-Vote.com today (April 22, but no new state polls will be out tomorrow except AZ) I find that on first brush Sen. Clinton looks better. The polls indicated right now that (theoretically) if the election were held today she’s win over McCain with 289 electoral votes (270 needed to win, 269 to tie). […]
All these lunches are fattening me up… I had lunch with Katie Witt (SD-17) today. She’s a very brave woman, the first Republican who was willing to sit down with me. And except for the little detail of the [R] after her name, a terrific person. The biggest impression I took away is she is […]
According to a press release from The Center for Policy Entrepreneurship: Sponsors of House Bill 1310, a bill that in its original form would have protected Coloradans from predatory lending, said today they will kill the legislation. “We are killing this bill because as amended it no longer protects hardworking Coloradans,” said Senate President Peter […]

HAPPY EARTH DAY! Holidays help us commemorate important events, focus on positive aspects of our lives, and bring together friends and family to celebrate important milestones. With global warming and environmental destruction threatening not just us, but all living creatures, what could be more important this year than Earth Day? Tuesday, April 22 is International […]
This is for you JO, for each time you start worrying about the Democratic primary just remember that you’re YoungerThanMcCain. Recently when I was celebrating my 55th birthday, I told a friend that while I don’t feel old, 55 IS old. In an attempt to console me she said, “Hey, you’re not old, John McCain […]
I had lunch today with Cindy Carlisle and first off kudos to her for meeting with me after I tore into her on her handling of the Bruce Benson issue. She was very gracious. So what drives Cindy? The environment. No matter what we discussed, the topic would lead to the environment or we would […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) http://www.denverpost.com/eweg… I won’t post the text, I know the post is hurting and I want to drive traffic to their site. It has a very good explanation of how TABOR “works”. TABOR’s can very easily be sold as anti-tax, which it is, but it is more. The true purpose […]
I can’t recall a single election year when the stakes were this high and covered so many issues: America’s future role in the world, and in Iraq/Iran in particular. The future of what was an industrial economy and has evolved into an agricultural, munitions, and service economy. The viability of the American financial system–not just […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Interesting article in this morning’s Rocky Mountain News on the campaign finance violation charges that the Ritter campaign and former campaign manager Greg Kolomitz are facing. The experts that the Rocky talked with (including Republicans) don’t seem to feel that any charges will be forthcoming. The Rocky explains: Arapahoe […]
Here is the issue: the Clintons have two of the best political minds in America, but they are running a 20th Century campaign in a 21st Century election. The biggest issue is they have not adjusted to: 1. How quickly fact checking can occur and 2. How quickly video clips can be sent to […]
Ok, I do tend to err on the optimistic side – but I was right on Jim Webb and Jon Tester. I think Betsy is going to win CD-4, and win by 3 points or more. She’s WOW. I had lunch with Betsy today and the biggest impression I got from her is she’s nice. […]
Colorado Ethics Watch today released its list of “Colorado’s most corrupt public officials in 2008.” And the winners losers are: Mike Coffman, Colorado Secretary of State Andy McElhany, Senate Minority Leader Douglas Bruce, State Representative Wesley McKinley, State Representative Darius Allen, Alamosa County Commissioner Carol Chambers, District Attorney Ryan Frazier, Aurora City Councilman Dennis Gallagher, […]
It struck me that a couple of noteworthy things happend this week. So I figured that it’s worth listing them out. These are not so much the largest events of the week so much as they are the must unexpected. Bob Schaffer is the biggest one, but not in the way you are probably expecting. […]
New York Times April 16, 2008 By JEFF ZELENY The battle between Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama over whether Mr. Obama belittled voters in small towns appears to have hardened the views of both candidates’ supporters and stirred anxiety among many Democrats about the party’s prospects in the fall. For five days, as […]
