But totally off-topic, I know it’s not Denverpols, but will you do a Denver Mayoral Big Line here?
We’ll leave it on DenverPols.com
When do the 2012 Presidential Primary lines go up?
🙂
I love the guy, but Hancock will tune him up.
Please, God, oh please – anyone but Chris Romer…
for so many different reasons, and from both parties, can all agree about Romer.
Now I kind of want to vote for Romer…
I currently have feelers from three candidates, maybe I will jump in this race.
It’s kind of fun being a retired guy with a self-employed part-time gig who is now free to
have political opinions that are not dictated by right-wing publishers.
But if I did, you’d have my vote. Who are the other candidates you got feelers from? If you can post that here, that is.
I have a bit of a dilemma in that I am fairly close to at least four of them. I guess I can always put names in a hat. I can say I go back a long way with Carol Boigon, to when our kids were both in East High, and electing a woman as mayor of Denver gov. is one mountain we have not yet climbed in Colorado.
On the other hand, Chris and I are both trained as economists and tend to think alike.
Is this “retro big line” being used to hide some of the wrong predictions outlined in the real big line?
Just a thought…
Sure, it shows some of their calls from 11 months ago were way off. (Then again, so was mine from yesterday that Buck wins by 2-2.5%.)
More than that though, it’s interesting to see the names that were on the ballot yesterday that were’t even on the horizon at the beginning of the year.
Goes to show the fluidity in political life….
This was the line that went up around the time Obama moved into the White House. Ritter had dropped out by that time.
Ritter dropped out in late 2009. This “Retro” Line is from January 2009.
with an advantage for no apparent and never explained reason. But then, until pretty recently I thought John Salazar was still a shoe in, not to mention my own HD’s Joe Rice. So I’m not casting any stones.
and of course I really meant 10 months ago, which is when Ritter called it a day. So a bit of confusion, but I definitely did NOT mean January 2009.
For awhile there he was openly saying he wouldn’t run again.
The Big Line is for fun. We try to be accurate, but we don’t always succeed.
I like clicking on the active user(s) link to see who’s in the room with me, and he was lurking. Nothing to say so far…
supporters disappeared, temporarily or otherwise, after the primary election.
For the sake of Pols’ eyeballs-to-advertisers count, I hope the Beej returns.
All things considered, the GOP did pretty well in Colorado last night, with a couple of MAJOR exceptions of course. 🙂
I’ve been here for a few years and it ALWAYS goes down this way when the election comes to pass. Four years ago, it was a guy named Moonraker. Posted a lot of innuendo about the African widow (I’ll explain it if you don’t know the story) but disappeared when Ritter took it all. Before then, there were shills for the hotly contested CD-5 and CD-7 primaries. Not to mention 2008, although that was more focused on the presidential race, although McCain’s people did target Pols as a place to spread the talking points like so much manure.
Expect more of the same in 2012…
They were both so sure they were going to beat Bennet that it was a foregone conclusion in their minds. Talk about a bipartisan coalition!
Is that in the same way that Rasmussen “tries to be accurate” but for some inexplicable reason, fails to succeed?
Not related to the big line, but I hate navigating back to the home page without clicking in the banner, which right now isn’t working.
Now let’s look ahead.
Who will run for Congress in 2012? My bets are on Sal Pace and Brandon Shaffer.
What will happen with reapportionment?
“Salazar is safe.” Unfortunately, apparently he thought that that was true this year too.
We are going to miss him here in southern Colorado, although this race always seemed to be off the radar of Denver-centric media like ColoradoPols.
to have interested CD-3 residents cover it here. You have the power to balance the coverage if you don’t like its focus.
Retro or not.
Don’t they say a week is a lifetime in politics? So, 22 months must be an eon. And, that’s the excuse for huge misses!
Besides the obvious wins, (Coffman, Polis, etc.) the Bennet race appears to be the only correct prediction. Otherwise, we’d be welcoming Gov. Ritter, Atty Genl Quick (who?), Treasurer Kennedy, SOS Buescher, Congressman Salazar, and Congresswoman Markey.
Very instructive, Pols. Thank you.
… I think back to past presidential campaigns. 1984’s Dem primaries were the first I followed, and the frontrunners at the outset included John Glenn, while Gary Hart seemed like one of the guys who wasn’t going to make much of an impression. As it turned out, Glenn didn’t do very well at all while Hart either won or came in a close second at the Iowa caucus, and ended up being Mondale’s only real competition. A big line from 1983 probably would have given Glenn 3-1 odds for the Dem nomination and Hart 15-1.
