Beauprez in Trouble for Playing Dress-Up
needs just 12 more posts for the all-time Colorado pols record. Come on down to the posting, we can do it! By the way, the Steelers will crush the SeaSicks.
Peggy Lamm lost her fundraising team (she couldn’T pay them) and I hear she also lost her only other paid staffer this week. It’s time to start the clock on when she gets out of the race for the good of her party…
I also heard that Udall’s chief of staff, Alan Salazar is moving over to run Perlmutter’s campaign soon and that Udall has basically made Perlmutter a top priority in 2006. Mike Feeley, a political pro if I ever saw one, is also a key player with Ed’s campaign. Has Peggy got any support outside of Boulder?
You warm my heart, Voyageur.
NoBreadRising, wakeme:
Get real. So, whenever Ed bombs a candidate forum do you just post a bunch of lies to keep Ed’s spirits up? You really should teach him the difference between public speaking and public yelling.
“Peggy Lamm lost her fundraising team (she couldn’T pay them)” This is FALSE.
Her fundraising team is chugging along just fine. Held a finance committee meeting just last week. Did you not read Melanie’s post the last time you floated this rumor? Or were you hoping nobody would notice?
“…she also lost her only other paid staffer this week” Also FALSE.
In fact, they just hired a new field director to the team. So this is an outright lie.
“Udall has basically made Perlmutter a top priority in 2006.”
Wow. This one’s a whopper. Alan is going over to the Perlmutter camp because he’s probably leaving Udall for good.
Udall is doing what he should be doing. Staying neutral and looking for a new political person who will stick with him for the U.S. Senate race.
Go Peggy. Beat Ed.
Man it’s freaking cold riding out there today……Come on summer.
Scoop,
We need to co-write something. You are always in an attack mood. I get that No Bread and Wake were also being negative, but I don’t think “he started it” is a good political philosophy.
If you are going to be at Drinking Liberally, I would love to collaborate on my next piece with you.
I was sitting in the front row, and I thought Ed was fantastic at the AdDems forum. I am going to see if I can get the video up on his website, so people can see just how good he was.
You know, it is ok to support the Democratic front runner even if you personally prefer Peggy. You should take a page from her book, she and Ed both knew that they were fighting for the same cause.
O’Donnell has Cheney helping him. Lets not give him our help keeping Republicans in office.
“Take Back”
I agree we need to try to stay positive in the CD7. There is such a thing as running FOR the office and not running AGAINST your primary opponent.
Anyone who knows me knows I have no love for Ed and would really really like to see Peggy win, but I also realize what is more important in the big picture is that the Dems take that seat as part of a national effort to wrest Congress away from the GOP. Only then can we begin to put His Imperial Highness Tsar George back into his constitutional box.
I am also hopeful, maybe prematurely so, that we can turn two Congressional seats in Colorado this year from R to D.
Two would be a bit of a reach, Dan. The 4th always breaks Democratic hearts. But if you can hold the third and take the seventh, you’ll have a Democratic majority in the House seat for the first time in quite a while. I want to say not since the days of aspinall, frank evans and byron rogers but it might not have been that long. I seem to recall we were 3-3 for a while, with kogo, tim wirth and Schroeder, but I’m a little fuzzy on the facts.
Dan and Takeback — you are absolutely right about the importance of taking back the seat. I would argue, however, that Peggy Lamm’s presence in the race — particularly with her poor showing — will drain needed resources Ed Perlmutter will need in the campaign against O’Donnell. She doesn’t live in the district, she has never explained her support fow Owens in 2002 (in fact, Jody Strogoff has basically called her a liar), and she is not raising money. Time for her to quit for the good of the party in my opinion.
The 4th breaks our hearts because every cycle we keep doing the same thing and expect a different result (which is the definition of insanity by the way).
Paccione’s campaign has taken a different approach to the race and there do seem to be more R’s and U’s out there fed up with Musgrave’s antics that there COULD be hope. Would I bet the rent on it? No, but I’m not writing it off either.
What a campaign Hick will run.
All the homeless bums who have grown in numbers since he took office will sport Hick for Governor signs on their stolen shopping carts. Of course the homeless cannot be challenged as the Mayor loves them. In fact the police cannot call them transients but must use the more poltically correct phrase “residentially challenged”
Funny how almost no Republicans even bother posting on this blog. I guess Hans Gullickson’s outing of coloradopols as a liberal hack job had its desired impact.
You’re way off Gump. There have always been more Repubs posting here than Democrats. Still are.
I hear Governor Owens is getting ready to start a big campaign swing with Bob Beauprez throught the state.
the only thing hans gullickson ‘outed’ was other backstabbing republicans! jesus harold christ!
such daylight betwixt you kood-aid drinkers and the real world.
Everyone come post something at the Unofficial Beauprez for Governor blog.
http://bobbeauprezforgovernor.com/blog/
We are NOT affiliated with the Beauprez for Governor Committee, and we won’t trace you, we swear.
Our posts are all dated in the future, you should probably just ignore that.
By the way, we are linking to Progress Now and some of them pesky right-wing bloggers. If any of you want to post something, it would be pretty sweet. We are by THE PEOPLE and FOR THE PEOPLE!
BubbaGump, were you going to suggest another website that Republicans could post at instead of ColoradoPols? Maybe one run by hack jobs at State Party instead of liberal hack jobs?
Congratulations to Bill Cowher & the Steelers on winning the Super Bowl. It’ll probably go down in history as one of the most poorly officiated contests in SB history.
I have also heard that Bill Owens is getting ready for a campaign swing tour of the state with Beauprez, after which he is going to spend a week stumping for Peggy Lamm to thank her for supporting him in 2002.
Thanks to Gov Owens for paving the way to victory… you’re simply the best.
Thank Medusa football season is finally over. With any luck they will go on strike and cancel next season out.
Maybe baseball, basketball, hockey, etc will follow suit.
Why not, they deserve more money…..strike, strike..
The riots over the muslim cartoons
This article was written about the Koran/toilet episode but I think it is equally relevant here. Why Islam is Disrespected trackbacks: Mudville Gazette
Gecko,
Over the weekend the sports experts on KOA were saying that the NFLPA Union was hoping to get rid of the salary cap (can you imagine – paying them MORE?) as part of the upcoming collective bargaining talks. Gene Upshaw, the union head, says that if the salary cap goes away, it’ll never be back.
Stand by for “cheap seats” at $100 per game. Good luck to them. At this point, I’d rather watch paint dry than waste another 3.5 hours watching a 60 minute football game.
