Obamacare predictions that the teabaggers got wrong http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/17/obamacare-fact-check_n_5985106.html?utm_hp_ref=politics&ir=Politics
Technical question for those here that do political emails. Has anyone here tested using CID vs <img> for images in emails? We're trying to figure which works better for our corporate follow-up emails.
Looking at my inbox, the political emails all are using <img> while the spam ones that get through are all using CID. If CID gets through the spam filter it's better because the image is always displayed where <img> gets you that ugly [X].
Does anyone know why the political emails use <img>? Is it possibly because that used to trigger spam filters (it does not seem to anymore)?
thanks – dave
I certainly don't know. But if I needed that question answered, I'd ask some of the kids who are running these political and issue campaigns.
I'm hoping some of them come around here occasionally. Isn't this the site for Colorado politicos?
But they may not want anyone to know they post here. Maybe they just monitor to see what politically minded people are thinking. It's too bad there isn't a personal message function here.
Interesting: the person testifying at the Congressional hearing about Ebola today was Daniel Varga, the Chief CLINICAL Officer, not the CEO. Which is almost worse since he's in charge of the medical side of everything!
Asked if any on-site and in-person training took place at his hospital after receiving the CDC alerts on July 28, the {not CEO} Chief Clinical Officer of Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital finally admitted "No."
It's Texas. It's their way of thumbing their noses at big gubmint. Don't mess with Texas!
True but the CDC isn't exactly covering itself in glory here. The "experts" don't really seem all that expert. Fear mongering congress members using this for political purposes are disgusting but that doesn't necessarily make the CDC's alleged experts credible either. I don't have much more confidence in their pronouncements than I have in the political hacks.
Good point. Nobody has been handling this very well.

con man cory voted for Governor Romer? http://blogs.denverpost.com/thespot/2014/10/16/cory-gardner-democrats-vote/114103/
I'm more interested in whether he voted for Clinton
Interesting article by Kristen Wyatt today regarding the role/non-role of cannabis in this year's election, including a curious quote in the piece by Gardner that doesn't really jive with his actions in the House:
Yet, as Canines pointed out two days ago, Gardner voted against the (ultimately successful) amendment to H.R 4660 that defunded DEA ability to raid Colorado medical marijuana facilities, and he wrote a letter to AG Holder questioning Holder's authority to suspend federal action on Colorado.
I think he can have it one way or the other. Has he had a change of heart, as it insinuates in his statement, or hasn't he?
BTW, the most-viewed bill on Thomas.gov this morning is H.R. 1091, "Life at Conception Act"
The recorded vote to House Amendment 748, whereby Gardner voted "No"
As the Senator often opines, "words have meaning". Gardner doesn't state that he now embraces the will of the voters, we mere states we are "deep in the heart of the laboratory".
I think to the reporters' discredit in presenting an accurate reflection of the times, the two articles that I've read dismiss how pissed off some members of the cannabis community are at both parties. Hence the support and hefty amount of press recently for Glendale Mayor Mike Dunafon in his Independent bid for governor. (Personally, I love how Dunafon prevented the state's mayors' group from unanimously passing a motion opposing Amendment 64.) People can argue till the cows come home about the efficacy of third party bids (for anything), however that's where it's at: Several cannabis businesses and industry groups have contributed monetarily towards John Hickenlooper's re-election bid (perhaps as the so-called lesser of two evils), however Hickenlooper does not enjoy overwhelming public support. At least not enough to have Snoop Dogg perform a rap with him (Hickenlooper has been kicking it with bluegrass bands recently) and have Snoop organizing a sure-to-be-smoky event in Glendale for Dunafon.
Agreed, Canine. I've met Mike and I find him very thoughtful and likeable (and he has roots in Yuma County). Neither of us are obviously in the inner-circles of the Hick/BWB campaigns, but it stuns me how they (or anyone who can perform 'arithmetic') continue to shy from taking a 'heads-on' approach to ending prohibition. Talk about the inequities; talk about the decades-long failure. It's a human and economic condition we can fix – yet, no strong leadership of voices. I guess that's why their consultants are getting the big bucks and you and I are here to offer our advice 'for free'..
Libre my advice is; it's not even $0.02.
I'm sure Dunafon will radicalize a certain segment of young minds–as has happened out here before with an outre candidate or two for governor, leading us to where we are today. In the '90s, a whole generation of young people–and their parents–bought into the hemp message. To say that that has caused ripples would be an understatement. I, for one, never expected to see any sort of legalization in my lifetime.
He handpicked Gardner for the Senate run.

Insiders Blame Rove for Covering Up Iraq’s Real WMD

Happy news! Another one bites the dust:
A federal judge has struck down the marriage ban meaning marriages should begin soon!. Share to celebrate this great news! http://bit.ly/1swH0Hc
I have waded through my godawful long ballot, researched the candidates and issues, and have marked all the boxes except for one: governor. Help me out, Polsters! I can't stand Hickenlooper but I don't want Beauprez to win. If I were confident that Hickenlooper would win by one vote, I would vote third party, but it sounds like the race is too close to call. I would hate to do something stupid that might throw it to Beauprez. I would also hate to give Hickenlooper a big win that would push him toward national office. What to do, what to do….
Hold your nose and vote for Hick. The other side wins elections that way. Or come very close. How else do you explain 47% of the voters going for Mitt Romney? Charisma? Positions on issues?
I don't see Hick going national. Dunlop and gun control are too many big issues where he has demonstrated a lack of spine and inability to articulate his beliefs. Beauprez is an ass who must be kept away from the handles of power. Must vote Hick.
Vote for Hick to block the much worse BWB. Don't worry about Hick's alleged national ambitions. He's not going anywhere nationally. Just as Biden's kid getting kicked out of the Navy for failing a drug test is no biggie because Biden doesn't a snowball's chance in hell of becoming the Dem nominee for President ayway.
There are things we really don't have to waste brain cells figuring into political equations and things we do. BWB as Guv is definitely a thing we do have to figure in. Voting for Hick will only hurt for a minute. He's fine on a goodly number of issues. BWB sucks on every conceivable thing.
anyway.
Y'all are most persuasive. I'll vote for Hick as soon as I find a clothespin for my nose….
I thought you had answered your own question. BWB is too close in the polls. How it actually rolls out is anyone's guess. I'm voting for Hickenlooper.
Is sex only for rich people?
Not always…..sometimes they get a gig on Dancing with the Stars after their mother runs for vice president.
Yup, why do you think the only "Sex Education" the Puritan Hypocrite Party believes in is Abstinence?

The number's wrong, but how many unplanned pregnancies could have been prevented, cervical cancer screenings, etc.?
On the other hand, they're helping amp up turnout for Udall, Hick and Romanoff…..
It's a political football, but it's our political football. Ebola could be if we emphasized the effects of shutting down the government and underfunding the NIH and the CDC. And thank goodness for Obamacare if we have a national pandemic.
….ZOMBIES!!!

Great point, here is how Sam sees it.
To stupid to read the posted article I see – well your rash has probably effected your mental capabilities – you should take care of it.
Shhh! We want to keep it a surprise so they have their own Rovian meltdown on election night! 🙂
Yep. I wonder for for how long Dickhead and Dickhead Lite will go underground once they get their asses handled to them?
Long enough to suffocate — politically speaking, of course — I hope.
I see status quo. No change on the number of Senate seats.
Republicans are even more trouble in '16. They have to defend more of their Senate seats, and they will lose the majority of them all.
I still see a House takeover…. for 2015 and beyond… and won't let go for a very long time.
DP,
You see the Dems with 55 Senators and a majority in the House in 2014?
Yes. It includes Kansas, Kentucky, Georgia, South Dakota and an upset in Mississippi.
Whatever you attempt to flip will be meaningless. Montana will stay Democratic thanks to a upstart progressive that's better than Walsh, My numbers that I see at the polls are going to surprise everyone at the end. But I shall not say, but let the polls at Election Day speak for itself, it will be a first in the nation, and a first in a long time.

Thought not. Zero credibility. Cory won't even muster past 42%.

Is she really endangered? I don't know anything about her opponent – this race has been totally under the radar.
Why link to a right-wing source?
It doesn't belong here, or anywhere else. It belongs tro Storm Front.
So ignore the source. She's not really endangered, is she? The only races we hear about are 16, 19, and 22.

Colorado’s No on 67 Coalition Demands Hulu Allow Rape Survivor Ad To Run
Online ad-supported video service Hulu refused to air an ad by a rape survivor opposing Colorado’s Amendment 67. Amendment 67 would ban abortion, emergency contraception, and common forms of birth control. A coalition of groups opposing Amendment 67 including Planned Parenthood Votes Colorado, NARAL Pro-Choice Colorado, ProgressNow Colorado Education, and the Vote NO 67 Campaign are launching a campaign to demand that #HuluLetHerSpeak and air the rape survivor’s story.
