Sen. Shawn Mitchell is reliable about casting Republican image and message problems in embarrassingly sharp relief, often with a Beavis and Butthead flair that nobody else can quite match. Yesterday, he served up another fine object lesson–the Denver Post reports: Democrats ripped state Sen. Shawn Mitchell on Thursday after he referred to a colleague as […]
Face-Off in minutes.
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) You find people on both the far left and right who couldn’t care less about the health of mainstream journalism or its coverage of stuff like elections. But most political junkies agree with what Bob Moore, Executive editor of the Coloradoan, told me: “My concern is whether the traditional […]
Reminder: I’m working with Coloradans for Financial Reform, so I do have a dog in this hunt. Hundreds of consumers will call on big banks and health insurers to stop the greedy and abusive practices that harm everyday Coloradans tomorrow at 17th and Lincoln St., 3:30 PM. Come on down to say loud and clear: […]
As the Pueblo Chieftain reports: Greenwood Village Republican Walker Stapleton said he’s the best choice for state treasurer based on his education and professional background. The grandson of historic Denver Mayor Ben Stapleton and cousin to former President George W. Bush made a campaign stop at Pueblo County Republican headquarters Saturday. As treasurer, Stapleton said […]
When fundraising numbers for Colorado’s U.S. Senate candidates were all announced earlier this week, it continued a rabid conversation about what individual reporting numbers mean for each campaign. Less discussed, but no less important, is whether or not each campaign is raising enough money just to keep the lights on. As we’ve said before, fundraising […]
The Colorado Statesman has an interesting article about a recent match up between four GOP U.S. Senate candidates at a South Metro Chamber group’s candidate forum. Clive Tidwell went for the Tea Party vote, while Jane Norton and Tom Wiens seemed to spar more for the business constituents. Steve Barton was also present but Ken […]
My guess is that both will vote in favor of confirming Obama’s choice. For starters Udall isn’t up for reelection until 2014 and he has some political cover in that Harry Reid is going to vote to confirm him. As for Bennet I also think he will vote to confirm Ben Bernanke. A no vote […]
As Danny has said (and I agree), this is the #1 national security issue. And as Ariana Huffington (and others) have pointed out – right now the Dems have given Wall St everything they asked for – and told the rest of us to go piss up a rope. So Dem re-election depends on addressing […]
As The Denver Post reports:
Jefferson County administrator Jim Moore has been fired, weeks after the county paid out $766,000 related to age- and sex-discrimination cases involving him.
The three commissioners voted unanimously Wednesday night to oust Moore, who assumed his position four years ago and was on track to earn about $150,000 this year.
Commissioners declined to comment. Jeffco spokeswoman Kathryn Heider said the reasons for the firing would not be revealed because it is a personnel matter. The commissioners met in secret to discuss their decision, then voted in public on the firing, as required by Colorado law.
Moore’s firing also came only hours after a federal jury delivered a verdict in favor of Mike Zinna, who sued former commissioner Jim Congrove for allegedly violating his First Amendment rights. Moore testified on behalf of Zinna.
Moore could not be reached for comment.
Ralph Schell, director of the county’s open-space department, has been named interim administrator. He said Thursday that he “was looking forward to the new challenge.”
Rassmussen’s latest poll of CO-Sen has Republican Jane Norton starting off strong in an election race that is still a lifetime away. At this early date, the snapshot does not tell us much about what November 2010 will look like, but the poll does reveal an interesting point about this moment. Candidate Very Favorable Somewhat […]
Gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis sat down with 9NEWS’ Adam Schrager this weekend. If you’re hoping for another trademark McInnis on-air blowout, you’ll be disappointed–he held it together gamely enough. But McInnis also didn’t have to answer much in the way of follow-up questions. Watch for yourself, and tell us how you think he did. Suggested […]
Ok, this is a very small thing, but I think it is indicative of how the State of Colorado is inexcusably inefficient in their use of technology. Go take a look at our response to a state RFI. The PDF file is a scanned in image. Why? That’s an interesting question. To send in this […]
I got this from CQ today: The Miami Herald reports: “Republicans should have the wind at their backs this election season with President Barack Obama’s poll numbers dropping and independents turning away from Democrats. But many Florida Republicans see a significant obstacle to success: Jim Greer, the most controversial and polarizing Florida GOP chairman in […]
Stepping aside in the race for Colorado Governor reveals Senator Josh Penry’s understanding: sometimes being a leader means acting as a team player. Penry ran a tremendous campaign, raised nearly ½ million dollars, and harnessed a host of endorsements. Senator Penry’s decision to fight for another day speaks to his vision as a statesmen. “I’m […]
If you haven’t yet seen GOP Senate candidate Tom Wiens on 9NEWS’ Your Show with Adam Schrager from yesterday, it’s an interview worth watching. Wiens comes across as engaging and comfortable discussing complex issues–we were impressed. We’d post the video here directly but we haven’t figured out how to make 9NEWS video load without autoplaying. […]
From the AP, new “precision-enhanced” numbers: About 650,000 jobs have been saved or created under President Barack Obama’s economic stimulus plan, the White House said Friday, saying the president’s goal of 3.5 million jobs by the end of next year is on track. New job numbers from businesses, contractors, state and local governments, nonprofit groups […]
I won’t get started in the subject of Joseph L. of CT (I can’t even bring myself to type his name!) lest I be sent to the corner for bad, bad language. BUT. Perhaps the Congressional medical insurance program is not so hot after all if it turns out that the mostly-male Democratic members of […]
I learned to speak Spanish in the Baker district. I moved into an apartment where I ws the only American citizen. I tuned the radio and TV to Spanish only, studied the grammar at Metro, and sought out people to practice speaking the language. About 3 years went by, and I dreamed in Spanish. It […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Just like last Sunday when we asked your questions, here’s your chance to pose a few to Jane Norton this weekend. I just need your first name and I’ll do my best to get them asked. If you don’t want to post them here, feel free to email me […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Everyone here has talked a lot about the upcoming Bennet-Romanoff primary, specifically about the motivations of the latter and the differences between the two. Here’s your chance to ask the former Speaker what he’s thinking. He’ll be live in our studio on Sunday morning. Feel free to post questions […]
Rasmussen Reports decided to drop a poll into the field on Colorado’s U.S. Senate race at an unfortunate time. While the poll shows that incumbent Democrat Michael Bennet is not very popular, the matchups between potential challengers Ken Buck and Ryan Frazier are all but irrelevant now that Jane Norton has entered the race on […]
I was talking to a programmer the other day. He was working on a project for a county in Iowa and they kept hitting problems where the numbers were not adding up right. This was a central system for handling property taxes and so getting the dollars correct was key. They finally figured out the […]
(Be safe Polsters, it’s getting weird. – promoted by ClubTwitty) On the Denver Post “poll”, attached to yesterday’s article about President Obama’s Tuesday speech nefarious plot to brainwash all of America’s schoolchildren more than 38% of the 6900 ‘votes’ declare “I would not watch and discourage my child from watching.” The article primarily describes how […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) On her show last night, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow devoted a segment to the potential 2010 Democratic primary between appointed Sen. Michael Bennet and former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff – and the implications of that primary on the national health care debate. You can watch the segment here: If […]
