( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Not too long a go, a provocative headline from the maestros questioned whether Gov. Bill Ritter was creating waves with his environmentalist base over the FRAC Act.

He clearly doesn’t have a clue why Obama got elected–the best he can do […]

In a guest column for the Boulder Daily Camera today, Sen. Mark Udall writes in support of expanding federal hate crimes definitions to include segments of the GLBT community–timely with the first such trial under Colorado’s expanded law about to kick off: I was elected to Congress a month after Matthew [Shepard’s] murder.

(Isn’t this why he didn’t run for Senate? – promoted by Colorado Pols) This past weekend ex-Congressman Scott McInnis, now a lawyer-lobbyist, announced at a Republican party meeting that he plans to run for Governor in 2010.
