So, I’ve been away since before Tuesday evening. Did anything happen? Oh, and what if this crazy talk comes true and Hickenlooper runs for, and wins, the governor position? Presumably, the new governor wouldn’t take office until early January 2011. The mayoral election is in May 2011 (swearing in, July 2011), right? So, would […]
Harry Reid has a serious problem on his hands. He is up for re-election in 2010 and he isn’t faring very well in the polls in his home state of Nevada. A recent Rasmussen poll (12/11/09) shows him trailing all three of the potential republican challengers for his seat next year. Interestingly, his “unfavorable” rating, […]
Colorado GOP chairman Dick Wadhams, one way or another, has presided over yet another remarkable clearing of the Republican primary field in the races that matter most next year–gubernatorial and, with a single wild card remaining, the U.S. Senate race as well. Wadhams of course claims that he loves primaries, and did seem to genuinely […]
(More good meat and potatoes information from the Roguestaffer – promoted by Colorado Pols) [Much thanks to my friend G. We’ve had many conversations, online & off, over this subject, over the years, and he’s been a great source – RS] “I don’t remember the old-timey filibusters well enough to know whether the majority having […]
In his overly playfull performance on Caplis and Silverman yesterday (4:00 hour), former Congressman Scott McInnis addressed the growing criticism of his decision to flip the bird to Colorado Republican activists by dodging their Central Committee meeting/fundraiser. http://www.khow.com/cc-common/… While McInnis spent a couple of weeks telling people that he didn’t want to attend the […]
(I was not a huge fan of the bailout either, but there is no question that it’s being managed better by Bernanke/Geithner than Bernanke/Paulson. – promoted by ThillyWabbit) As Big Banks Repay Bailout, U.S. Sees Profit August 31, 2009, 3:57 AM See http://dealbook.blogs.nytimes…. All the headline grabbing overhyped politicization of the TARP was that the […]
We just got this from the Our Country Deserves Better PAC via Townhall Spotlight (a paid advertisement service of Townhall.com)–apparently it’s the ad that’s “making liberals berzerk”–and it was too heavens-to-Betsy scandalous not to post now now now, by God! You’re probably thinking we just posted this to terrify you on general principles, but there […]

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=washingtonstory&sid=a7Hk3ZEF4QyM Jesse Jackson Jr. Pays Campaign Funds to Chicago Alderman Wife By Timothy J. Burger May 21 (Bloomberg) — Representative Jesse Jackson Jr.’s congressional campaign organization has paid his wife at least $247,500 since 2001, including at least $95,000 after Sandra Jackson joined the Chicago City Council two years ago, according to federal election records.

(Bumped into Friday by popular demand – promoted by Colorado Pols) It’s been pointed out that we spend a fair amount of time these days deconstructing the activities and public statements of Senate Minority Leader Josh Penry. Our attention is variously credited to partisanship, a “man-crush,” or the simple fact that his leadership has been […]
Since I came here a couple of years ago, I have very much enjoyed the banter on all that is left and extremely far left and political here in Colorado. I’m going to be mostly away from here (Pols) in the future and certainly not involved enough to have promotion privileges. Hopefully you will find […]
(We read so in the Denver Post – promoted by Colorado Pols) So, I got a hold of the press release that prompted the Penry love-fest. Interesting timing considering just last week he helped organize an event that had a swastika guy holding that sign as part of their key messaging. For Immediate Release Friday, […]
( – promoted by redstateblues) CSU’s student paper, The Collegian, gives the hapless Fort Collins Coloradoan a lesson in investigative journalism. The Coloradoan was left scratching its head when Chief Yarbrough was suspended by CSU, but could never do more than pass along uninformative official statements. The Collegian, instead, worked their sources and got the […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Engineering has a principle called KISS — Keep It Simple Stupid. I guess there is no corollary in the law or in Ritter’s experience. Choose the most qualified, experienced, skilled and willing candidate who can run a campaign, serve the constituency well and keep getting elected. Every opposition candidate’s […]

SUNDAY UPDATE: We just got a phone call that there is a plane flying toward Denver towing a banner that reads “McCain is a Raiders fan.” Can anybody confirm this? UPDATE #2: Naturally, Progress Now. from a release (posted below): “That McCain is a Raiders Fan is the kiss of death in Colorado,” stated Michael […]
Even a casual political observer can see that there are many problems within the Colorado Republican Party. As Bob Schaffer and Dick Wadhams face an inevitable defeat, Colorado continues to go Blue on every level. The NRSC has abandoned all hope in Musgrave country and John McCain will likely have to kiss our electoral votes […]

( – promoted by Colorado Pols) How McCain wins purple states and the heart of his base. McCain is no hard core conservative. He blocked conservative judges, won’t sign a no new taxes pledge, doesn’t want to drill in ANWR, and he isn’t a no holds barred pro-life guy. Guess what? That’s going to cause […]
You can’t stop Libertarian presidential candidate Michael Jingozian…well, yeah, you can. Anyway, click below for the full press release. Libertarian presidential contender, Michael Jingozian, was met with overwhelming success at the New Hampshire Liberty Forum held January 3-6, 2008. Michael Jingozian is considered by many as the leading non-Democrat or Republican candidate for President of […]
We have a lot of great opportunities to expand the democratic majority in the house this fall, and a lot of great candidates. One such candidate is a remarkable woman, Betsy Markey, running for Colorado’s CD-4, a seat currently held by Marilyn Musgrave. Representative Musgrave thought D.O.M.A (Defense of Marriage Act) did not go far […]
The Denver Post opines: Special prosecutor Don Quick said last week that he didn’t have enough evidence to prove a crime was committed when Jefferson County hired private investigators to tail a county gadfly. Maybe it’s not a crime, but it sure seems like a big waste of money for activity that raises ethical questions… […]
A few of you asked me to post when the next chapter was up. And so you are to blame for my shameless plug. Yes, I’ve gone and put Chapter 1 out there for the world, or at least a few of you, to read. And judge. And poke fun at. So take a look […]
Some animal-rights activists give the rest of us a bad name. Rolo, a German Shepherd who spends most days terrorizing his suburban Denver neighborhood, recently attacked a woman who was outside walking with her baby. After carefully considering the evidence and listening to many neighbors who reported the dog aggressive and feared for their safety, […]
