FOX 31's Eli Stokols reports:
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi will be in Colorado Wednesday to help raise money for Andrew Romanoff and other Democratic congressional candidates, FOX31 Denver has confirmed.
Pelosi, D-California, will appear at a morning fundraiser for Romanoff, the former statehouse Speaker who is challenging Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Aurora, for his 6th District seat, expected to be one of the closest and most expensive in the country next year.
She’ll also join Rep. Jared Polis, D-Boulder, at a second fundraiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
While Democrats are optimistic about their chances to pick up Coffman’s seat, which was re-drawn last year, the prevailing view in Washington at the moment is that the party’s chances of winning back a House majority in 2014 are extremely slim.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi's visit to Denver is another sign that the CD-6 race between vulnerable incumbent Rep. Mike Coffman and Democratic challenger Andrew Romanoff will be a marquee race in 2014.
One person we haven't heard from in relation to Pelosi's visit to Denver is recall spokesperson Jennifer Kerns of Americans for Prosperity. You'll recall last week's nationally publicized claim by Ms. Kerns that ballots "mailed from Chicago" may be headed to the recall elections in Colorado. Her "proof," as you may remember, was the mere presence of an Organizing for America worker at Democratic Party headquarters in Pueblo. "From Chicago!" Kerns earnestly warned to a laugh track and embarrassed side glances from fellow Republicans.
Well, folks, Nancy Pelosi is coming to town! We assume the alert from Kerns will be even more entertaining.

DEFCON 1. I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
Well, naturally, we can't have that!
It's great that Andrew finally got a girlfriend! He can probably do better than Grandma Skeletor…
And David thinks righties are fleeing this site because we mean progressives don't debate the issues, just make nasty personal attacks.
David should be so pleased to see folks like you participating, engaging in intelligent debate characterized by astute observation and penetrating logic.
I'm humbled. Truly.
Well said and very fair point.
!!!
Well, Grandma is a better choice than "I am only 3/4s dead Harry Reid".
In the interest of stimulating debate on the issues, I venture that we could discuss the only issue raised by our new rightie troll (with the childish avatar), n3b. The issue, as I see it, is whether or not this asshat, n3b, is a bigger douchebag than Jon Caldara…
Can we still do polls?
Makes me wonder whether n3b isn't someone we've seen before, you know, in another life?
This is good. It should be fun watching the "huge" protests and their silly signs.
As for a sign about the coming battle. Yeah. I think of all the big names the R's can bring to town who will help Coffman and chuckle.
Jennifer Kerns aka CApartygirl, aka KstreetKerns, emulated her idol, Rush Limbaugh, in March of 2013, when she was the chief publicist for the California Republican Party. Limbaugh had just alienated most of his advertisers by calling Sandra Fluke a "slut".
Kerns, copying Rush, was trying to shame MSNBC's commentator, Krystal Ball. This is from a California blog , "sfist".
Since Kerns, like Limbaugh, tries to stay in the news by making up stuff, insulting people, and putting out sensationalistic accusations, I thought that it was fair to put out an embarrassing photo of her, too.
Correction: Limbaugh's 3 day "slut" tirade at Fluke, and Kerns' imitation of it, all took place in Feb and March of 2012, not 2013.
