What a Difference Two Years Makes
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) The political landscape looks a bit different on the eve of Election Day 2010 than it did two years ago here on Colorado Pols. There’s been some turn-over among regular Polsters, Denver no longer has two dailies (and the one remaining is newspapera non grata), and Democrats were giddy […]
Soul-searching has already begun: What if GOP nominee had been Norton?
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) If you’re a Republican, and you look at Ken Buck’s troubles, you can’t stop your mind from wondering back to the comforting image of….Jane Norton. Except it’s not so comforting, of course, because you wake up and see Ken Buck trying to talk about rape and incest, and you […]
Who’s running for what in the municipal election?
Because of my job, I live in something of a political vaccuum. But I am curious what people have heard about who is running for what this May.
There is already a thread about the Mayor’s race, but if accurate it will cause a game of musical chairs.
After the jump are my observations. I would like to hear others’ speculations.
So, what if the unthinkable happens?
I’ve been spending some time on PollingReport.com examining the 2004 elections.

It was apparently canceled […]
Lame Ducks and What They Need To Do Soon
Time for me to return to the online life again. I have been in a two day session for women and nuclear security. Women from across our country came together to learn about nuclear treaties, nuclear security and what we can do to get the Senate off it’s collective butt and ratify the New START […]
Colorado’s House May End Up Tied. What Then?
(Any of you Polsters out there know what happens if the House is tied? – promoted by Colorado Pols) Hot off the press … As Republicans and Democrats fight it out for control of Colorado’s 65-member House, a third possibility exists. What if they tie? Ordinarily it wouldn’t be an issue: The chamber has an […]
What is A Shunning?
And when is appropriate? As with many words in the English language, the dictionary definition is just the start. Merriam Webster online SHUN: to avoid deliberately and especially habitually The Wikipedia gives a little more context shunning: the act of deliberately avoiding association with, and habitually keeping away from, an individual or group. It is […]
What Happens in Washington Stays in Washington!
Ken Buck has proven to be an accessible candidate, consenting to appearances on talk shows and television. Many of these appearances could best be described as entering a lion’s den. Buck has certainly acquired the scars of a candidate willing to run the gauntlet of a lengthy campaign that has garnered national attention. As a […]
