According to the much-discussed Public Policy Polling automated “robopoll” released this week, only 33% of Colorado Republicans feel sure that President Barack Obama was born in the United States–fully 67% of Republicans, according to PPP, either believe Obama is not a natural-born citizen (thus not eligible to be President) or are “unsure.” We’ve been clear […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) With the eyes of the country on western Colorado this weekend, those opposed to President Obama’s far-reaching health care proposals had the chance to see Senator Josh Penry pen a column in the Daily Sentinel opposite Governor Ritter’s. They heard from Penry at the opposition rally in Lincoln Park […]
Not a very auspicious performance on candid camera for Rep. John Salazar, from FDL Campaign Silo via Squarestate: Like most Blue Dogs, John Salazar doesn’t want to give his position on a health care bill until he extracts enough personal tribute sees it. He initially tells Mike Stark he’s not a member of either party […]
The Iowa flood of 2008 involved most of the rivers in eastern Iowa beginning around June 8, 2008 and ending about July 1. Flooding continued on the Upper Mississippi River in the southeastern portion of the state for several more days. Being the anniversay is upcoming in 5-6 days … let us recap Duration: June […]
Don’t know if you’ve noticed in the last 72 hours or so–but junior Sen. Michael Bennet, fresh off pointed criticism from liberals over a recent vote on foreclosure prevention, has sprung into action on a broad array of issues. Earned media all over the place, we’ll start in Grand Junction where KJCT-TV reports on Bennet’s […]
73% percent of Colorado’s 60,063 third-graders are reading at a third-grade level. “We have smiles on our faces,” said Jo O’Brien, assistant commissioner at the Colorado Department of Education. “We are hopeful this continues.” Actually, we hope this improves, significantly.
When I heard that my name was listed here, I had a brief moment of panic. Fortunately, I read the fine print, which says that I have not announced.
I am exploring a run for Jefferson County Clerk. However, the 2009 elections are my current focus. In the meantime, I am open to comments, suggestions and discussion about this decision.
(What about “from the source?” Good poll anyway. – promoted by Colorado Pols) I’m just curious where most Polsters recieve their news. Please select your Top 3 sources: For me, Online newspapers Blogs Local tv news (distant 3rd)
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) The question has inexplicably been bandied about on various blogs lately. All you have to do is search the Congressional Record for the details. In short, Udall thinks EFCA as drafted has much room for improvement. Follow me after the jump to read the gory details… He thinks too […]
( – promoted by redstateblues) Travel on over to www.recovery.gov and you can see where the money is being spent. It’s pretty bare bones but does have a general timeline.
The Congress has just passed the largest spending bill in our history. Let’s see what we get for our money, yes our money. However, I must digress to make sure we must understand how this system works. The basic premise is that if you borrow money, you have to pay it back. If you do […]
Interesting, if repetitive, commentary from conservative Denis Calabrese, writing for Newsweek: Conservatives may advocate privatization for government, but Democrats put it into action in politics. All the key party functions have simply been outsourced. The big donors entrepreneurially moved their funding of key political functions outside the traditional party structure, building and paying for separate, […]
What is it with our local elected officials thinking they’re members of congress all of a sudden? Earlier this week the Colorado legislature wasted a day debating the Israel-Palestinian conflict, as though a resolution from the Colorado legislature will solve the issue. Now we have the Larimer County Commissioners passing a resolution condemning the stimulus […]
In a citizen legislature that includes elected officials of very wide-ranging abilities, Jennifer Veiga stands out for her uncommon intelligence, civility, and political savvy. She is one of the most talented members of the Colorado Democratic Party, and yet, she continues to demonstrate an unwillingness to step up as a leader of the Senate Democrats. […]
What we have here in the heart of CD-2land is thousands of bytes of courier type posing as idle speculation on the state of the Dem primary. What we don’t have is any public and/or credible, recent polling data on the state of this race. In the absence of real data we have a lot […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) This year is on track to hold the record for number of statewide ballot issues. There will likely be 18 or 19. I have listed them all on my website now and will assign them their amendment numbers as they are approved for the ballot over the next month. […]
That question was asked by a guy touting his book. http://www.plnewsforum.com/ind… My reply is so good I reproduce it here :): Neither Obama nor McCain is a centrist. Each, in his own way, is a radical. And none of our strong presidents were centrists. Washington, Lincoln, TR, Wilson, FDR, LBJ and Reagan were all radicals […]
In West Virginia Obama is doing better then expected and keeping Hillary below 60% so far it’s a blow-out for Hillary (Edwards is still on the ballot there) 68% reporting: Clinton 160,115 66% Obama 65,752 27% And in Mississippi we have as about a red a district as you can get so the election of […]
There is, evidently, a game being played by our superdelegates whose point I cannot fathom. I am referring to Ken Salazar, Mark Udall, Bill Ritter, Pat Waak, and other Colorado superdelegates who have not publicly agreed to follow the will of their fellow Democratic caucus-goers and vote for Barack Obama. Neutrality in advance of the […]
First, I want to say, I have resisted calling out Obama’s campaign for the most part, however, when I have stood up for Obama in several diaries against the Clinton smear machine, I took comfort that both campaigns had a common adversary – Clinton. Furthermore, most people here agree that Clinton has resorted to these […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) If ever there was a single newspaper story that showed just how much today’s Republican Party hates working people, this Rocky Mountain News story is it. The headline reads “Right to Strike in Colorado Paid With Blood,” and documents how after National Guardsmen mowed down striking mine workers in […]
CNN’s democratic presidential debate is tonight at 6pm. Is there a public venue where people are watching it? Suggestions? Red Room, Double Daughters? don’t forget Boulder, Greeley and Ft. Collin’s venues in your responses…. http://www.cnn.com/2… It will be at the Thomas and Mack Center on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. That’s […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Last week, I appeared on Colorado statewide television to debate Gov. Bill Ritter’s recent executive order giving state workers the right to join state-recognized employee partnership associations – that is, to give workers a bigger voice, and join the majority of states that give workers such a voice. In […]
An internet search today failed to reveal any website for Mike Coffman’s campaign for the 6th Congressional District. Coffman merely has his current Secretary of State site at http://www.mikecoffm… He needs to get a move on. Already, Ted Harvey has a web presence for his Congressional aspirations, even if the site is rather silly in […]
This was in George Will’s opinion piece in today’s Washington Post. Note especially the list of historical instances where Congress has grown a spine and actually stood up to a President. When candidates who are running for President blame the war on George Bush, they need to look in the mirror and share blame for […]
