The campaign of Sen. Michael Bennet is doing everything it can to show Democrats that Bennet is a strong health care reform supporter who supports the public option. Reaching out to proactively show Democrats that Bennet is firmly behind the public option is a great way to garner support from the left. It’s just two […]
After Ed Schultz gave the keynote address at the Broomfield County Democrats’ Carter Dinner, the executive committee of the party adopted a resolution on health care reform that was the lead story on Ed’s show today. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21… I apologize, I lack the know-how to make the embedded video work.
I started a thread within the “Romanoff To Challenge Bennet?” comments, which i’d like to extract and revive. The original discussion is here: http://www.coloradopols.com/sh… David writes, Reduced union membership is due to a changing world where the unions did not keep up. I work in the high-tech world and I have never heard anyone there […]
Editor’s note: as this story has developed over the last couple of days, it’s become clear that all parties, beginning with Denver Police, have been improperly identifying the alleged perpetrator. The suspect uses the name Ariel Attack, and her gender identification has been misreported. We’re reminded of the recent successful hate crime prosecution by GOP […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) On AM760 this morning, I interviewed Tom Jensen at Public Policy Polling about his firm’s new survey of Colorado voters, which will be released over the course of the week. You can listen to the interview here. Jensen said the new poll shows that in terms of approval ratings, […]
Stealing a great term from David Sirota on what the GOP talking heads are doing, it is time for the Democrats to face the Dog Whistle. Dog Whistle (noun) -org. Boulder, America, David Sirota: the act of inciting a desired action without expressly stating that action. Used in a sentence: Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck […]
You really have to listen to this to believe it, folks. Yesterday afternoon, gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis appeared on the Caplis and Silverman show on KHOW talk radio. The subject of the day was, of course, yesterday’s Denver Post story about McInnis’ 2004 promise to donate his leftover federal campaign funds to charity–as you know […]
An issue near and dear to the hearts of every Colorado Democrat (not to the mention the Republicans looking to take them out next year), the New York Times reports: Even as the Obama administration braces for another grim report about job losses on Friday, economists say that the president’s $787 billion stimulus package has […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) IMPORTANT UPDATE: See the note from ThillyWabbit in the comments below. It looks like I made a mistake by reading the campaign finance reports too literally. What appear to be separate contributions to the Jared Polis Victory Fund and the Markey and Maffei campaigns are, in reality, all from […]
(There is more to the story of HB-1369 than meets the eye, and it may not be over yet – promoted by Colorado Pols) Doug Jones, chairman of the Colorado State University Board of Governors, accused state lawmakers of “un-Christian attitudes” in attempting to reform the chancellor selection process, a newly released audio recording shows.

CQ’s story is here: http://www.cqpolitics.com/wmsp… The interactive table is here: http://innovation.cqpolitics.c… For a quick look at the Colorado Senate and House delegation, check out my Coloradoan blog here: […]
UPDATE: Markey votes yes, Salazar votes no. As the Pueblo Chieftain reports: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is trying to round up Democratic support for a vote on legislation to combat climate change, but Colorado Rep. John Salazar is among the holdouts. Salazar, a Democrat in his third term, said he is concerned that the proposed […]
The Colorado state government helps certain classes of business. Large businesses, and businesses who have enough financial interests in front of the state. Both have lobbyists, consultants, etc. who work effectively to get their needs in front of our state’s leaders. Sometimes they get their way. Sometimes they don’t. But they get support. And then […]
Norlarco used to be the local credit union in Fort Collins. On the outside, it looked like your standard mom-and-pop level credit union, and it was a nice way to keep your money local, and not have to park your checking account with some fee-hungry multinational conglomerate. However, Norlarco turned out to be a canary […]
A variation on our “At Least He’s Not Your Legislator” theme, the AP reports from Zion: Republican Utah Attorney General Mark Shurt leff sent out half a dozen Twitter messages Tuesday revealing details of his yet-to-be announced U.S. Senate campaign that were solely intended for his spokesman. Shurtleff has repeatedly said he’s interested in challenging […]
The Colorado Independent reported late last week: Rocked by the former president’s high stakes budget shifting, Colorado State University is gambling once again that upping administration costs will bolster the university in the future. The controversial search for the land grant university’s first system chancellor comes amid faculty and staff layoffs, a looming multi-million budget […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Just like yesterday’s Obama/Udall numbers, PPP is putting out its Colorado robo-polls. Tomorrow is Bill Ritter’s turn. Today it’s Senator Michael Bennet’s. Bennet is such a newbie on the field, he’s a great test subject to establish how silly these robo-polling firms are. PPP is especially notorious in their […]
(It’s CORA, actually but look at them go at it! – promoted by Colorado Pols) Josh Penry’s people have been relentlessly fueling speculation that he may run for governor. Which raises the question; how much of this fueling is being done in the offices of the sate capital and how many phone calls, emails, and […]
Polling recently completed by Magellan Strategies in CD-4 finds that no potential Republican challenger to Democratic Rep. Betsy Markey has an advantage at this point: The ballot test of potential candidates revealed State Rep. Cory Gardner (18%) with a 6 point lead over former Weld County Commissioner Bill Jerke (12%), UC Regent Tom Lucero (11%), […]
(Hehehehehehe. – promoted by Laughing Boy) update: despite this diary’s title, maybe we should have a Colorado Pols’ Olympics… Redistricting is something that I have been eagerly awaiting. It won’t affect the 2010 Congressional elections, but will change how Colorado is represented from 2011 onward. The Denver Post’s Burt Hubbard explains redistricting in 2010. Every […]

UPDATE: Daniel Kagan appointed to replace outgoing Rep. Anne McGihon for Colorado House District 3, reports the Colorado Independent. As the Denver Post reports: Discourse has gotten a little testy – and crowded – in the nine-way race for the safe Democratic seat incorporating parts of Denver and Arapahoe counties. The free-for-all ends tonight, as […]
Object lesson vignettes (see title), featuring the new oil and gas drilling rules headed for Governor Ritter’s desk after final approval today. Here, for posterity, is how not to do it. Durango Herald, mistake #1: refuse to give up a debunked case. Several Republicans blamed the rules for Colorado’s loss in drilling rigs. “They harm […]
crossposted at KOS In Northern Colorado, where local citizens are dependent on their wells for their drinking water, our local Fox affiliate (surprisingly enough) is reporting that oil and gas contaminants are causing people’s water to catch on fire. Watch the video below, and ask yourself how would you feel discovering that you had been […]
