As the Associated Press reports, all this bipartisan happy talk about “Grand Bargains” and “backup plans” is meeting a stone wall called the “Tea Party”–and freshmen members of Congress elected in the 2010 Republican wave are trapped between their unrealistic promises to an unreasonable fringe, and the inevitable failure to fulfill them: Solid backing of […]
When newly-elected Colorado GOP chairman Ryan Call laughably suggested on television a couple of weeks ago that Republicans had been some kind of great defenders of education funding in the state budget battle, rewriting months of copiously-documented history from every newspaper in the state, we feel pretty confident that Rep. Tom Massey, moderate Republican from […]
Nevertheless, we’ve noted the entry of nominally “major” GOP candidates for the presidency as they have announced, and we’d be remiss if we didn’t in his case–AP reports: Santorum has been laying the groundwork for months. While the two-term senator lacks the name recognition and fundraising organization of his better-known rivals, he is a favorite […]
Today, the one-seat minority Colorado House Democrats, with a few Republicans, are trying to put their own stamp on the state budget–principally attempting to reduce cuts to public education. The Pueblo Chieftain’s Patrick Malone reported this morning: In the run-up to today’s budget debate in the House, Rep. Tom Massey met with Gov. John Hickenlooper […]
Former State Republican Party Chair Dick Wadhams wasn’t unemployed for long. According to a stunning press release sent out this morning, Wadhams has been named Deputy Political Advisor to Governor John Hickenlooper. A press conference has been scheduled for this afternoon, but as the release explains: The office of Gov. John Hickenlooper today announced that […]
UPDATE: FOX 31 updates the story: According to McNulty, Shaffer abruptly left the dinner meeting Thursday night after McNulty told him that next year’s budget must include the “Delgrosso amendment”, a proposal from House Finance Committee Chair Brian Delgrosso, that was left out of an agreement drawn up by Senate lawmakers earlier that afternoon… But, […]
Potentially a major development in conservative Colorado politics in the aftermath of Saturday’s victory for Denver attorney Ryan Call, elected with surprisingly strong support to the post of state GOP chairman–as the Colorado Independent’s Leslie Jorgensen reports: [The Republican Study Committee of Colorado] claimed 34 Republican members in the state Legislature – 11 in the […]
UPDATE #2: For those of you who have never heard of newly-elected Colorado Republican Party chairman Ryan Call, from a post of ours last December: Call in particular is probably a choice that Democrats would prefer the GOP not make, being a smart guy with a good understanding of the role of ‘independent’ groups, and […]
The Colorado Statesman reports on a Monday Republican meeting in Northglenn where two of the candidates for GOP State Chair — Ryan Call and Leondray Gholston — pitched their candidacies to the faithful masses. Two of the other candidates for GOP Chair, Ted Harvey and Bart Baron, were not in attendance, but Gholston had plenty […]
UPDATE: Westword has the hat-in-ring from Matt Arnold, and oh yeah, it’s memorable. There are some other great candidates in this race, but I will (and do) bring a whole other skill set to the table — one that will breathe new life in the party and show we truly aren’t insane. [Pols emphasis] My […]
