by Dave Crater The GOP picture in Colorado’s 5th congressional district is a picture of soulless politics and in microcosm of a national GOP headed for a November electoral disaster. Editor: So warns Dave Crater, Air Force veteran, CU law student, and founder of the Wilberforce Center for Colorado Statesmanship. Here’s the article developing his […]
( – promoted by DavidThi808) While the Colorado press stays quiet, investigative political site Talking Points Memo, winner of the 2007 Polk Award for Legal Reporting, stays on the case. What are Bob Schaffer’s ties to a mysterious Congressional earmark to fund a criminal enterprise that fleeced taxpayers of more than $2 million? Schaffer, who […]
UPDATE: As Jason Salzman reports in his Big Media Blog, Rocky reporter Lynn Bartels did indeed intentionally edit Wadhams’ attempt to use “Boulder Liberal Mark Udall” in his comments. Kudos to Bartels for not falling into the trap that catches so many other reporters when a politico tries to insert spin as fact. It seems […]
Rather than talk about the issues, Bob Schaffer wants to discuss ZIP codes. This is the best he can do? Rather than take a stand on “Personhood Amemendment”, Bob Schaffer tells reporters “he’s really busy focusing on his own campaign to take sides.” This is the best he can do? If he’s to be our […]
UPDATE: Here is video from today’s Meet the Press interview with Scott McClellan about the Iraq war propaganda campaign. From The New York Times THEY thought they were being so slick. When the McCain campaign abruptly moved last Tuesday’s fund-raiser with President Bush from the Phoenix Convention Center to a private home, it was the […]
(Finally, someone with a report from the convention – promoted by DavidThi808) This years convention in Broomfield was a treat. It got off to a good start, and stayed on schedule most of the day, until, the end when we were a few minutes ahead of schedule. The keynote speaker Mitt Romney, hammered home the […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) For those unable to attend the Republican convention (or those in attendance who want to relive it), here’s Bob Schaffer’s acceptance speech. Posted on Slapstick Politics This is the first half. Part 2 is after the jump. UPDATED TO ADD: Mark Udall released a new 30-second TV spot about […]
They think they can (repeat mantra-style), as the AP reports: Republicans will nominate former congressman Bob Schaffer on Saturday to run against Democrat Mark Udall for Colorado’s open U.S. Senate seat, hoping he can help them avoid another embarrassing loss in this swing state. Republicans insist they can hold onto the seat after losses that […]
Check out this letter we were just copied on (along with most of the political beat reporters in Colorado) to Bob Schaffer from the head of liberal activist group Progress Now: “We call on you to end your pattern of hiding when asked the tough questions that only you can answer.” From: Michael Huttner (michael@huttner.org) […]
UPDATE #2: Prominent national blog Talking Points Memo summarizes: Colorado Senate candidate Bob Schaffer’s business buddy was convicted on 22 counts in federal court last night. That doesn’t bode well for the Republican’s campaign, since Schaffer served on the board of directors while prosecutors said the National Alternative Fuels Foundation was scamming money from the […]
