by elpresidente | 12:34 pm, February 6, 2012

Colorado’s Democratic Sen. Mark Udall and President Barack Obama don’t appear to be on the same page when it comes to the recently sidelined Keystone XL pipeline that the Democratic administration rejected permitting for in January: “‘I think there is a legitimate argument that it’s in the national interest to build the pipeline,’ said Udall, [...]

by elpresidente | 2:54 pm, January 19, 2012

We’ll have to see what the fizzling “Occupy Denver” folks have planned–“more details will be available soon”–but with only Republicans holding their precinct caucuses on February 7, the potential for things to get interesting could certainly be there, especially at Denver county caucus locations: Stay Tuned for February! We are already organizing events for February [...]

EP’s 2011 Recap: Part 6, Having Fun on the Campaign Trail

by elpresidente | 1:00 pm, December 29, 2011

Part of the residual effect of having been a professional journalist and blogger is the credibility and the credentials to hit the campaign trail and cover prospective candidates. It just so happened that several candidates for the highest office in the land managed to traipse their way through Colorado in 2011, stumping and picking up [...]

EP’s 2011 Recap: Part 5, A Fistful of Pace

by elpresidente | 12:00 pm, December 29, 2011

This one is more of a peering-into-2012 story. If this doesn’t end up as a campaign ad, our side will be negligent in their duties. Aspiring 3rd Congressional District Democratic candidate, former House Minority Leader Rep. Sal Pace (D-Pueblo) had some strong words for those who might oppose unions and their Big Labor agenda way [...]

by elpresidente | 10:00 am, December 29, 2011

MIC CHECK!!! Turning briefly from straight-out investigative reporting or blogging, one of the highlights of my year was working with the fabulous Tabitha Hale, formerly New Media director at FreedomWorks, to put together a panel on ‘Building a State Blog Network’ for the group’s BlogCon11 conference held fortuitously in Denver in November. Simply being listed [...]

EP’s 2011 Recap: Part 1, Surging Independents

by elpresidente | 8:00 am, December 29, 2011

It has been a long year. Rather than an exhaustive recap, allow me, if you will, to take a quick look back on the top stories that came across my virtual workdesk in 2011–stories of original research, investigation, or reporting that I published on the pages of People’s Press Collective, Independence Institute/Townhall, National Review Online, [...]

People’s Press Collective has thrown together a quick, informal, and non-intended-to-be-scientific-but-fun-anyway survey for our readers to rank their Top Political Stories in Colorado for the past year. There have been some doozies, which would be an understatement.

The Paranoid Style in Obama’s Politics

by Eileen McGuire-Mahony | 10:05 am, December 16, 2011

Yet again demonstrating his staggering lack of self awareness, our esteemed President is soliciting a dwindling fan base to send in the contact information of their Republican pals.  In the last two days, this story has gone around the world.  It seems that part of Obama’s ploy for a second term is…to….er….well…damn. Alright, so the [...]

Brave New Films Bravely Fails in Koch “Setup”

by T.L. James | 11:45 am, November 13, 2011

Oops. “Truth-telling” filmmaker Robert Greenberg needs to find less-inept assistants. Apparently, in trying to “prove” that the Kochs are “unresponsive” to critics, Greenberg’s team made several phone calls to a Koch number in rapid succession, leaving a recorded message each time — and in a couple of cases, accidentally recording themselves after they thought they’d [...]
