Because it’s really not a question of whether it will affect the vote, but whether it’s negative or positive–and by how much. As you all know, Senate candidate Mark Udall cast a dramatic vote yesterday against the proposed $700 billion bailout by the federal government of the teetering financial services industry, saying he “cannot ignore […]
Tip to Balloon Juice for this link to an old Washington Post op-ed from February of this year: Several years ago, state attorneys general and others involved in consumer protection began to notice a marked increase in a range of predatory lending practices by mortgage lenders. Some were misrepresenting the terms of loans, making loans […]
From Bloomberg.com. The clear gravity of the situation pushed the legislation forward. Some might say the current mess couldn’t be foreseen, yet in 2005 Alan Greenspan told Congress how urgent it was for it to act in the clearest possible terms: If Fannie and Freddie “continue to grow, continue to have the low capital that […]
John McCain yesterday spoke about the financial crisis. Here are his recommendations: First, to deal with the immediate crisis, I will lead in the creation of the Mortgage and Financial Institutions trust — the MFI. The underlying principle of the MFI or any approach considered by Congress should be to keep people in their homes […]
(does McCain’s team now see Palin as a negative? – promoted by DavidThi808) Something is Brewing: The prediction markets (InTrade) are showing people betting heavily on Obama winning the electoral vote, as his ‘stock’ surges. Meanwhile, Sarah Palin is canceling scheduled appearances in California and Washington, and perhaps in Ohio and Florida. MSNBC has a […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) In a poll conducted from 9/12-9/14 SurveyUSA found that Democrat Barack Obama has a narrow, but statistically significant, lead over his Republican rival John McCain in the Commonwealth of Virginia. In an election for President of the United States in Virginia today, 09/15/08, 7 weeks till votes are counted, […]
Jonah Goldberg, columnist for the LA Times, National Review Onlline editor at large and author of Liberal-Fascism (www.liberal-fascism.com) mocks the liberal fascist feminists as the totalitarians they are: Gloria Steinem, the grand mufti of feminism, issued a fatwa anathematizing Palin. A National Organization for Women spokeswoman proclaimed Palin more of a man than a woman. […]
John McCain has adopted Barack Obama’s message of Change and is now running against the image of the party that nominated him. McCain was cheered during acceptance speech while he challenged the economic platform that was ratified four years ago by the very same people applauding. McCain is working very hard to distance himself from […]
This makes me sick. Come on America, if this is what we are getting before he is in office, how easy will he twist the truth and lie to you once he is in office? He is running an ad that states, “Obama wants to teach sex to Kindergartners” this is a recycled moment from […]
The health insurance initiative that we will vote on in November will reduce middle income workers’ access to health care, give employers incentives to buy the cheapest and least comprehensive insurance possible and give beneficiaries incentives to overuse health care providers’ services. In an effort to give health insurance to a few thousand uninsured illegal […]
( – promoted by DavidThi808) From the Colorado for Obama blog. Today, the Obama campaign released a new 30-second TV ad, Seven, discussing just how out of touch John McCain is with the struggles of everyday people. The ad highlights John McCain’s desire to just offer more of the same economic policies we’ve gotten from […]
(Why don’t people pay attention in civics class? And a vote for a union does not mandate union membership; by federal law, you cannot force someone to join a union. – promoted by Colorado Pols) This is amusing. Brad Jones of Face the State whining that Colorado’s government workers have voted to organize themselves […]
There are three ways to vote in the Second Congressional District Democratic Primary. If you recieved a mail ballot, please return it by this Friday to ensure that it is counted (they are due at the clerk’s office by Tuesday). If you did not recieve a mail ballot, you can either VOTE EARLY this week […]
from Pollster.com Ok, it takes 270 electoral votes to win. So if McCain gets every state that leans Republican, every state that is toss-up, and even a couple of leans Democratic states – Obama wins. How on earth can this be viewed as a close race. Granted, a lot can happen over the next 3 […]
Just in case you don’t remember, he’s the guy who is accused of choking his daughter. Many suspected that he would drop out of the House District 22 race, and today the Denver Post ran the article that many of us were expecting. http://www.denverpost.com/brea…
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) How much is too much for working people to be paying for their energy needs? Prices keep going higher, but we common working folks aren’t going to see any relief if the Democratic Leadership in Congress have anything to say about it: http://thehill.com/leading-the… Despite all the hopes of the […]
In parts 1-3 of this ‘blogumentary’ we covered the amount of renewable energy just waiting for us to tap, how local governments and people are getting involved, and how we need the federal government to change the laws to support renewable energy. (and a good bit of information from Dcoronata on Geothermal energy. Now for […]
The Rocky Mountain News has been profiling both Republican and Democratic delegates to the national convention. Most of the profiles are fairly mundane, but today’s group is, uh, interesting. Kristi Burton Age: 20 Occupation: Law student, initiative sponsor of the Colorado Personhood Amendment… How did you campaign? Why do you think you were picked? My […]
Former State Senator Ron May and his wife Onilla voiced their support of Bentley Rayburn in a YouTube message today. The well-respected former senator highlighted Bentley’s leadership ability and his deep understanding of Colorado issues. Onilla discussed the need in Congress for representatives with character who are real statesmen. Both concluded their message by saying […]
EPA spokesman Tim Lyons … called it “disappointing” that the committee had decided to “politicize environmental regulations.” From the LA Times, today: White House invokes executive privilege in EPA inquiry The Bush administration refuses to turn over subpoenaed documents related to the agency’s decision to prevent California from enacting stricter emissions standards than the federal […]
“The Obama campaign is embarking on a false attack on John McCain to hide their own candidate’s willingness to disregard facts on the ground in pursuit of withdrawal no matter what the costs. John McCain was asked if he had a ‘better estimate’ for a timeline for withdrawal. “As John McCain has always said, that […]
Both candidates made it clear that they want an open debate not run by anyone. Sounds good to me. So how do we get them to do one here in Denver? It seems to me that the way to pull this off is to offer something like Folsum Field, fully staffed and paid for – […]
Colorado Springs’ KRDO-TV asked locally: If a picture’s worth a thousand words, what’s being painted in the new 58-word ad by Democratic U.S. Senate Candidate Mark Udall? The ad entitled “Worth” references a new army division, taking care of veterans and Osama bin Laden. This is the text of the 30-second ad: “These days maybe […]
Interesting poll numbers from Gallup (no link available): Gallup asked Democratic and Democratic-leaning panelists how confident they are that the Democratic Party will win the presidential election this November.
