get my nominations. They are both very good contributors to the site and their comments are consistently inciteful.
I want to decline for two reasons:
1) Work is very very busy.
2) I do want to do this in the next round (July 2010) so I am an editor for the 2010 election.
thanks – dave
all good posters and have the qualities that seem consistent with the responsibility of front page editors.
But thank you.
I knew you were going to say that. But you would be fantastic, you know.
I respect your decision not to serve at this time. 🙂
He sticks it to the “Harolds”, “Humphreys” and “Hamers” with his honest political duct tape. And I’d vote for CT again if not term limited. Or CT could come back again in the summer/fall of 2010 to assure the final stretch of the election cycle doesn’t have a milquetoast editor.
And speaking of a good sense of sardonic humor, I nominate droll, too.
But I don’t think you’re serious. 🙂
No, I really am, believe it or not which is why I am immediately disqualified from this position.
Madco is hereby nominated.
MADCO would be a great choice.
I’d vote for MADCO
But I say who cares? Like he knows.
2nd
What exactly is involved?
And do I need to form a 527 or PAC to cleanly cash the Soros checks?
through a C 4.
Steve Harvey, Red Green and, sorry, I’m at a loss for a credible conservative anymore unless special guest editor Barron X wants to become just plain old guest editor.
no offense but I don’t find Barron meets that standard very often.
BlueCat would be a great choice so I’m tossing her hat into the ring.
I’m both unqualified and lazy. Don’t even write diaries. Just shoot my mouth off as therapy. Otherwise stuff tends to go round in my head while I’m trying to sleep. But this reminds me that you are qualified. I’m tossing you in along with my previous picks. As for Barron, I know you and Barron don’t get along but I’m a fan.
why do all my picks keep turning me down? 🙂
And no on me (but thank you!) I’m about to get involved in a political campaign so I think it would be a conflict of interest.
She would be an awesome FP editor.
Your confidence means a lot to me.
I would be an awesome fp editor. I’m not sure if I can take it though, I’ll let you know once the election actually happens.
As your fp editor, I promise to actually read and participate in this blog should I be honored to serve. 😉
I had that damn song stuck in my head for a week after it was first posted here.
Thanks for bringing it back. X-(
what can I do to earn back your vote? What are the issues I can link to in my signature that you would like to see?
and you’ll get my vote for sure. 🙂
I’ve had about 5 in the last two weeks.
The one with “Johne” in it. That’s my personal favorite for a variety of reasons. Although I like your current one, too. Nice to see we can buy our leaders so easily. 🙂
or the right? Keep in mind that your left is the other person’s right…
Seriously, it’s nice to see you so calm lately, you crack me up this way. Angry, you’re insanely brilliant and a bit scary.
Unfortunately my complaint was only to garner support for Danny. I nominated him and feel like I should follow through with that. He’s great, you’re great, I’m a jerk. 🙂
That’s right, bitchez. I’m “insanely brilliant”.
RSB and I know each other personally through some fluke and he hated me when I first started posting here but now he loves me, don’t you RSB? I’m sure if you give me a chance, you’ll grow to love me too (though I don’t know if I can maintain this sugary-ness. It’s sticky and makes me angry.)
I only hated you because deep down I knew you were right.
He is my news source for the western slope. I don’t know what I’d do without the WS bloggers on this site. The DP barely covers the WS and the Sentinel is a PoS, I guess I could try the Herald.
As a lark I nominate Ali as the conservative blogger as he seems to be out of electoral politics for a while. The guy has done some face palming things, but he never fails to be gracious and I appreciate that.
I nominate MAH.
I know what you’re about to say, so don’t bother. Do it anyway.
I mean, he’s got the name recognition, and he already proved he can win one of these elections (he was supposed to be Democratic FP editor before I usurped him when he couldn’t go.)
The public demands Danny the Red ascend to his rightful place in the upper echelon of Colorado bloggers.
If I am elected I promise to start writing more diaries. I haven’t really done it since I came back.
It will be tough during the session since I get pretty busy, but I will try.
I would have nominated you but thought I remembered from previous nominations that you don’t have time, etc.
we need more redheads around here
He’s got a good handle on the West Slope.
Twitty brings a lot to the table, particularly environmental issues and moreover, he’s respectful in his exchanges. I think that has to be an editor quality in order to qualify for this position.
I second that.
I rarely agree with him on fiscal issues, but he’s consistent, gracious, and has a social libertarian streak I admire.
We need a conservative FP diarist, and if he’s willing, he’s the best pick IMHO.
C’mon, everyone knows that would be both hilarious and awesome.
I’d have brand new, fantastic sig lines every single day if he ended up being a front pager.
I think, doh! Why didn’t I thinK of that? Except for Ralphie’s nomination of Libertad. I’m sticking with Barron X for the conservative view. And not just to aggravate you, Middle 🙂
You know some kind of laptop condom.
http://www.compucover.com/
Yes, exactly so.
Does thing go in the dishwasher or the laundry?
When Jambalaya is on, I need one for my monitor too. I find I can aim my laughter and spit away from the keyboard- but my monitor is not always so….safe
I’m monogamous with my keyboard so it’s never been an issue.
an embarassment of riches I have.
Merci & whatnot!
He consistently exhibits sound reasoning and can always be counted on to add to the debate. Not to mention he hails from Central Illinois, which in and of itself adds to his credibility!
gender wrong!
That just makes you all the more qualified!
Thanks!
Because someone had to.
The far out (far, far out) non-sequitor thought, tin-foil crowd should have a chance at fame and glory too.
don’t know if I could take opening up Pols everyday to an auto-play propaganda video.
n/t
That’s how Schwarzenegger got elected.
Just a yardstick of sorts to see how much support he actually has.
Besides, California deserves Arnold. They voted for him.
for the “token conservative” slot. He’s wrong all the time, but he seems to research things and doesn’t just copy and paste. His diaries would be provocative, though probably still wrong all the time.
Since Haners left and LB stopped posting as frequently, BoulderRepublican seems to be picking up the “conservative you can actually engage with” title.
He’s got a point of view, does research, and exhibits the fundamentals of argument. He’ll even concede a point on occasion.
He doesn’t post very often though
I almost never agree with him, but that’s irrelevant. Pols needs a principled conservative, and I certainly give him credit for that. He believes what he says and intellectually backs up his positions.
AND THAT’S WHY I NOMINATE sxp151.
Love reading their posts. Plus, isn’t it time we showed our appreciation for the ladies’ contributions?
I’m kidding about the “pay” part . . . not about the other.
but on the bright side, the front-page abbreviation of your post is “What does it pay? I just got laid.”
Seriously though, good luck. My wife will soon be out of a job too, and this will be the first time I’ve been personally affected by a recession since before Clinton was elected.
Recession is when your neighbor is out of work – depression is when you are out of work.
when you’re out of work the unemployment rate is 100%.
First one I’ve had in two days. And my husband will enjoy the joke, too.
That guy always, always writes it well.
Total wonk and always thoughtful.
On the liberal side we have so many – which once again shows that we liberals are both better looking and more eloquent on the web 🙂
On the conservative side my first choice is Ali, second is Libertad (he’s had a number of spot on comments recently). And if neither is available, then I guess… ow this hurts… um… BoulderRepublican (because the first part of his handle is awesome).
And do we have a good moderate as a 3rd candidate? Someone who marches with a banner that says “Be Reasonable… or we fight”?
The realist
RedGreen should rule for a while.
Also obvious is MOTR.
Less obvious, but much more wrong, is MAH, for anything.
so goes COPols.
I’m so honored by all the nominations – thank you all! I’ve always maintained CPols as the best political website in Colorado, primarily because of all the great interaction and emphasis on dialogue
I would actually accept the role, if voted in…. however…. there is a very very very good chance I’ll be running for office again in 2010… if that’s a conflict of interest, then I should politely decline nominations
As far as my nominations – I’m disappointed Middle of the Road has turned it down – she’s terrific
I was critical of Thilly and CT, but they have done a solid job – as a Western Sloper, I’m so glad they’ve both brought a bigger emphasis on Western Slope issues – that’s the most important thing to me – I also think Baron should continue as a special editor – please keep this special role for him
Otherwise, I think RedStateBlues would do a terrific job, as would Libertad – thus, in addition to the renominations, I would like to nominate Lib and RSB
Mwah, MAH.
I nominate Raphael.
That’s the kiss of death.
Her ship is sunk.
and I’d be honored to be chosen, I just don’t see it happening.
Starting in January I’ll be able to post more, maybe I’ll be able to get enough name recognition by the midterm FP elections to make a credible run for it!
You’d be surprised how many people see your comments and like your analysis, I bet. But Ralphie’s right–everybody I nominate either declines or seems to be dead so, you know, I’m probably the kiss of death. 🙂
