to defeat Ritter. I’d have him at 30-1 at best. I’d put Elway at 10-1, but I know that many don’t share my opinion yet.
The SOS line ought to reflect all seven folks in the running. Bernie Buescher is probably in the top three.
because then we can relax on a statewide level and focus on holding or even increasing our lead in the state legislature, and helping Markey hold her seat that will likely see a strong challenger.
So we really can’t relax on a statewide level.
As I posted the other day, the Gov line has the Republicans almost completely backwards and omits some obvious names. Here’s how it should read:
Hank Brown (3-2), Ritter (5-1), Suthers (6-1), McInnis (10-1), Marostica (12-1), Beauprez (30-1), Elway (100-1), Tancredo (200-1), Weins (300-1).
Hank Brown probably won’t run, but its fun to dream.
I forgot Penry. Stick him in at 10-1 with McInnis.
The line does not just take into account how likely a person would be to win IF he ran, but also how likely the person is to jump in. Thus Elway is low because he is very unlikely to throw in his hat.
We could create a line that was 10 pages long if we listed every theoretical candidate out there (Roy Romer!), but there’s no point in listing people who absolutely aren’t going to run.
But laugh away
The thing is that Elway is also very, very unlikely to run for office. So I think the 90-1 is about right.
Mr Ed was never a great public speaker, but recently retired John Lynch was been very involved in charities, community organization, and is a very deft and gifted speaker.
As well as a serious Repub who likes the limelight.
I know it seems out there, but really, how much more different than a brewpub owner running for Mayor?
I always loved watching him play.
He denied that he was pondering running for Governor, but he didn’t rule out some foray into politics.
..he’s lived everywhere.
Seriously. One name.
Sting? Prince? Sergio?
…and THIS is the back.
Can I get an AMEN in here?
Considering the results of the 2004 primary season, I don’t see anyone who has the ability to win against Salazar come primary ballot time – or at least no-one who’s willing and interested in doing so.
I want to see that promising young Congressman from the 3rd district take on that corrupt and entrenched Senator.
Come on, it would be entertaining.
John’s going to run against Udall in 2014.
Salazars vs. Udalls…. Fight!
apple dessert went over well, so I took all of the credit.
Thanks again for my brilliance.
You’re very welcome. 🙂
how’s your cat?
We actually ended up having to put her to sleep the Friday after the election.
Long story short, she had a disease called FIP which she got from our other cat (who is going to get just as sick as she was eventually) and it took over a year to show any symptoms. We spent a crazy amount of money too, only to figure out there was nothing we could do.
It was heartbreaking, but she was in a lot of pain.
Very hard thing to do, but my wife and I are OK now, and we’re thankful that we had such a great cat for so many years.
Glad you guys are doing a bit better though.
I was wondering how things were going on that front.
…’sniff
Oh. Right.
Thank God for the affair, or half the people on Daily Kos would have had TWO things to freak out about today.
….but I was expecting Janet Napolitano to be Obama’s choice.
Are they saving her for a run for U.S. Senate seat in AZ in ’10?
If you find a popular Democrat in a red state, you keep her there! Same reason it would have been silly to pick Sebelius for something.
But it would be fun to beat the pants off John McCain in 2010, if he were running.
Now they need it for the Obama-Biden Transition Project.
https://donate.obamabidentrans…
Is this common? Funding Administration transitions with private donations? I donated almost $300 to the campaign, but there’s no way in hell I’m donating to this.
This tells me that tax dollars are funding the transition.
But just to make sure they can fly me out for my interview, please give generously.
.
another quote from my article
If this wasn’t somewhat common, there wouldn’t have been any previous rules.
Background on the team:
\
The right blogs have been calling this a secret team, but the MSM doesn’t seem to think it is the oddest thing ever.
I wouldn’t donate either if I were you, you’ll probably be getting a request for the inaugural fund soon anyway.
http://online.wsj.com/article/…
Everything you could possibly want to know about transitions says that transitions are paid for by a line item in the budget, about $8 million this year. Bush raised some of his own money to supplement that, but it’s not common.
The survey which we both got does seem like a good idea, asking people if they want to continue volunteering on the legislative agenda. I went through the survey pretty happy, at one point answering a question with, “I was asked for money three times since winning the election, but this is the first time I’ve been asked to help get something done. Thanks!”
Then at the end of the survey they ask for more money. Sheesh.
…she can’t be SOS with all those campaign debts!
This one looks awful. It starts out crappy, and then turns shitty.
Personally I don’t care, but I would like to hear what Diana DeGette thinks!
Or rather, I would like to hear what the Daily Kos thinks about what Diana DeGette thinks!
Or rather, I would like to hear what bloggers here think about what Daily Kos thinks about what Diana DeGette thinks about Waxell vs. Dingman!
Or rather, I wish I could think of something else to post! Look for this comment again somewhere soon. There’ll be a prize for finding all of them!
that Amendment 54 passed? It just goes to show how Amendment 47 should have passed.
