Bennet to Head DSCC

by Joshua Sharf | 1:48 pm, December 4, 2012

Word is that Sen. Michael Bennet will accept the position as the head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), reuniting there with his old chief of staff, Guy Cecil, who’s now the DSCC’s Executive Director.  It’s tempting to conclude that the appointment is largely on the strength of the unexpectedly strong Democrat showing in [...]

It’s been a few days since my last Seeing Stars post thanks to work and family obligations.

In case you missed it, here’s Music Free Static episode 10 (despite my claim that’s episode 11). It’s mostly tech this week.

Udall: We Need the USPS to Deliver News

by Randall Smith | 8:46 pm, April 25, 2012

Congress is facing an uphill battle as they try to deal with massive revenue losses at the US Postal Service without actually fixing the underlying problems. The Senate is working on something now with various Senators, including Colorado’s own Michael…

Seeing Stars: Supreme Court to Kill Mandate?

by Randall Smith | 11:15 pm, March 28, 2012

It’s looking that way but let’s not count our chickens until they’re hatched. I’m being quietly optimistic but, really, if it’s not overturned, what can’t the Federal government — or even a state government — force us to do? It the mandate is upheld,…

Seeing Stars: Colorado to Become a Third Parent?

by Randall Smith | 6:00 am, March 19, 2012

SB 12-130 has been drawing attention lately. On the surface it combines agencies. Going deeper? At the very least, it appears to be a funnel for Federal funds (with Federal requirements and control). At worst, it looks like an attempt to completely tak…

Seeing Stars: Oh, Frack!

by Randall Smith | 7:00 am, February 20, 2012

Thanks to growing up in the 80s and my general geekiness, I cannot hear the word “frack” without thinking of Battlestar Galactica. It also means that I can rarely read a story about hydraulic fracturing without chuckling a little to myself when I see f…

Seeing Stars: I Know of This Debt of Which You Speak

by Randall Smith | 7:00 am, February 18, 2012

Linking to interesting news stories is easy. Writing headlines? That’s hard.

Anyway, the observant among you will notice that nearly everything in the “Everywhere else” section is budget related. That’s actually a happy accident but all of the storie…

Seeing Stars: Colorado PUC Says "No Energy for You"

by Randall Smith | 7:00 am, December 17, 2011

Sorry about missing Seeing Stars yesterday. It was just one of those days when I just wasn’t home long enough to get anything up. Today and tonight look to be busy as well. Just one more hazard of Christmas season.

The Silver Lining

by ColoradoPeakPolitics | 12:18 pm, December 15, 2011

Fellow elephants, let me assure you: Things are not as bad as they seem. After a couple of very predictable losses at the State Supreme Court, suddenly people think that Colorado Republicans are headed back to the gallows of perpetual minority. It’s the Blueprint all over again. It brings back nightmares of the liberal takeover in 2004, but I’m here

Seeing Stars: Another One Bites the Dust

by Randall Smith | 7:00 am, December 15, 2011

Candidates are dropping like flies in the wake of Democrats’ reapportionment tricks. Happy reading.

Another one bites the dust. Rep. Keith Swerdfeger won’t see reelection since he got redistricted into a heavily Democrat district with a D…
