The Colorado Statesman has a handy list of election night party locations. Democrats: Marriott Denver City Center 1701 California Street, Denver Republicans (except Dan Maes): DoubleTree Denver Tech Center Hotel 7801 East Orchard Road, Greenwood Village Dan Maes: Colorado Mountain Brewery 11202 Rampart Hills View, Colorado Springs Tom Tancredo: The Stampede 2430 S. Havana, Aurora […]
The Secretary of State’s office has made two releases of voting totals which indicate the party affiliation of those whose votes have been cast. We learned yesterday that 443,611 votes were cast of which 184,982 were cast by Republicans and 159,882 were cast by Democrats. But what does that tell us about a wave? […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports, (technically) third-party gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo is reading the polls and feeling mighty confident: On a Denver radio talk show earlier this month, Maes said that if there were a standard for who should be invited to debates, he’s set that level at candidates who are polling […]
Colorado is a state with one large metropolitan area, Denver, and one other liberal enclave, the people’s republic of Boulder, which are natural bases of support for Democrats. Rural Colorado is a natural base for Colorado Republicans. Which party wins in a statewide election in large part depends on where the line is drawn between […]
Well, God must have been/must be a moderate. After all, wasn’t it He who gave us: –a right hand and a left hand. –upsides and downsides. –rationality and Teahad. The “moderate” has it easy; no need to analyze a situation or gather facts. Listen to one side, then the other, then pick the “middle way,” […]
In the Battle of the Bulge (WWII) the allies first priority was to hold the shoulders (edges) of the German advance while falling back as needed in the pocket. Holding where they must while temporarily retreating where necessary was key to minimizing the impact of the German offensive. This election is going to be bad […]
Barry Arrington – state board of education wannabe and Intelligent Design promoter – was responsible for a nifty little gaffe on behalf of Michele Bachmann recently: http://dumpbachmann.blogspot.c… Arrington is the treasurer of MichelePAC, but in filing the papers with the FEC spelled it MichellePAC. Oops. It’s been widely reported that Arrington misspelled her name on […]
My late great-aunt lived on a farm in Oklahoma during the Dust Bowl. Hung on to it with pure grit and determination, and was later rewarded with an oil well on her property. But it was the Dust Bowl, not the petro bowl in her backyard, that defined her adult personality. Long after the oil […]
Earlier we pointed you to a Politico story about former State Senator and former GOP Senate candidate Tom Wiens trying to throw his hat into the ring for Governor, should Republicans figure out a way to replace either Scott McInnis or Dan Maes on the ballot. From what we’ve heard lately from top Republicans, however, […]
The Fort Collins Coloradoan’s Bob Moore reports, as seems to be the case everywhere we look, voter enthusiasm for GOP candidates in this “wave year” isn’t being matched at the bottom line: Larimer County Democratic candidates for the state Legislature generally are outraising their Republican opponents this year, even in races that feature GOP incumbents, […]
That paragon of civic virtue, Douglas Bruce, is now apparently evading service of a subpoena to testify in the Destroy Colorado Amendments case. http://www.denverpost.com/opin… Question: Why can’t ALL Colorado citizens be deputized as process-servers? After all, “any person whose age is eighteen years or older, not a party to the action” is eligible to serve […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Despite Craig Silverman’s fog-horn voice and Dan Caplis’ adolescent intonations, I like the “Caplis and Silverman” talk-radio show, especially when they’ve got good guests like Scott McInnis or John Hickenlooper. But the show, on KHOW radio in Denver, gets frustrating when the hosts fail to ask the follow-up questions […]
Preface: My apologies to the Bennet campaign staff, who have asked their supporters to stay positive. I cannot follow their direction, today, unfortunately. My family is more important than any campaign. ************************************************** I saw a friend last night who decided to go support Andrew Romanoff in the CO 2010 Senate primary. I’ve stated here before, […]
There’s been a bit of intrigue over the last 24 hours surrounding Sen. Mark Udall’s (D-CO) position on the public option. There were reports from DailyKos, the American Prospect, the Rachel Maddow Show and ColoradoPols saying that he had, in fact, signed the letter authored by Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) that endorses the use of […]
( – promoted by Middle of the Road) Aracely Panameno, the director of Latino outreach for the Center for Responsible Lending, was in town recently to meet with Latino community leaders. She presented them with the results of a recent CRL study that shows payday lenders nationally are nearly eight times as concentrated in neighborhoods […]
Where’s Hickenlooper’s campaign website? It’s as hard to find as Waldo! What gives? You search for “Hickenlooper” and you end up getting re-directed to “hooked rugs.” (Look, if I wanted to see ugly rugs I’d just do an image search for Scott McInnis.) More after the jump… Seriously: John Hickenlooper should have had a website […]
Finance is central to our future–as individuals, as a nation. Yet it is often shrouded in mysterious terms designed to obscure the subject from readers of ordinary newspapers and blog sites. But it is at least as critical to our future as Afghanistan or the environment, as energy or education. It is also an area […]
Most Democrats I talk to are thankful that the primary between Senator Bennet & Speaker Romanoff has been respectful and gentle. News alert – this is the worst possible primary for us. We need a brutal fight, with blood drawn on both sides. Let’s say you’re a sports team. How do you get ready for […]
Sorry to break it to you, anti-Romanoff conspiracy theorists, but we’re not the only ones wondering what the hell is going on with Andrew Romanoff’s Senate campaign. As Susan Greene writes in The Denver Post: Andrew Romanoff promised a barn burner. I’ve seen barn burning. This isn’t it. The former state House speaker lacks ignition […]
(talk about self-promotion. – promoted by Barron X) In the CD-05 race a year ago, two of the candidates on the ballot were determined to get that pointless Iraq War ended as quickly as possible. Of course, those were the two losers, the Democrat and the Constitution Party candidates. The Republican incumbent who won said […]
For several months the press and blogs have had their say about the importance of McInnis and Penry sharing a forum, having a debate on the issues. Yesterday the CFRW (Colorado Federation of Republican Women)held a debate. There were opening statements then q & a – much like a Presidential debate. Reports from two of […]
(Next stop, tax that weed! – promoted by Colorado Pols) In what can only be described as a stunning victory for medical marijuana advocates, Attorney General Eric Holder announced today that the Federal government would no longer be prosecuting medical marijuana patients and caretakers who conform to laws in certain states–like Colorado and California–legalizing the […]
As you’ve probably heard, negotiations between the management of grocery store chains in Colorado and their unionized workers are set to resume Tuesday. A week ago, workers overwhelmingly rejected the latest proposed contract–reportedly a little better on longtime employees, though still forcing big cuts to worker’s pension benefits and not much else to workers without […]
Ok, this is not going to make me Mr. Popular. As I’ve mentioned to a couple of campaign managers, we owe our primary allegiance not to a candidate or party, but to our country and to the world. This is essential at times like this when we are in a world of hurt and we […]
All the naysayers and footdraggers in the healthcare reform debate bring up the cost and carp about how we are going to pay for it. Too bad they’re not so concerned about costs when it comes to other parts of the federal budget. Buried in the bowels of section A of the Denver Post on […]
