Progressive Power Play Called: Steal Elections If You Can’t Win

by Lu Busse | 7:41 pm, April 5, 2010

With polls not looking good for Democrats to retain the US Senate seat held by governor-appointed Michael Bennet and other offices,  operatives in Colorado are turning to another page of the Progressive Playbook – Steal elections if you can’t win them. Scuttlebutt predicts State House Speaker Carroll will introduce the Modernization of Elections Act soon. Here is the draft [...]

Colorado caucus preference polls show Tea Party, 9.12 group voters don’t vote “straight tickets”

by Donald E. L. Johnson | 9:38 am, March 17, 2010

It is hard to tell how much influence candidates forums and events sponsored by the Tea Party, 9.12 project, R Block, Liberty on the Rocks, Americans for Prosperity and Republican county parties and clubs had on Tuesday’s caucus preference polls. One thing seems clear. There still is no consensus in any of  those groups about who they want to be the GOP’s gubernatorial and U.S. Senate candidates in the November elections. Voters draw on numerous information sources and come to their own conclusions. The media don’t control them. Bloggers certainly don’t. And meeting organizers don’t try to. What’s great is that so many people and organizations have been working hard to give voters a chance to see and hear the candidates so that they can make informed decisions when they cast their votes.

Where are Jane Norton, Scott McInnis, Ryan Frazier, other GOP candidates on ObamaCare?

by Donald E. L. Johnson | 8:30 am, March 5, 2010

Why are Colorado Republican candidates for governor and Congress being so quiet about President Obama’s dishonest efforts to shove ObamaCare down the throats of Americans?
Why aren’t Jane Norton, Ken Buck, Tom Wiens, Scott McInnis, Dan Maes, Ryan Frazier, Cory Gardner and other Republican candidates putting pressure on Senators Michael Bennet and Mark Udall and other Colorado Congressional Democrats to vote against ObamaCare?
If Republicans don’t step up and help fight the Democrats over ObamaCare, why should Colorado voters think they will be real conservatives if they are elected?
Colorado’s GOP candidates should dedicate the next two weeks to pressuring Bennet (admittedly a lost cause), Markey (a vulnerable Democrat in conservative CD-4) and Ed Perlmutter (also a lost cause) to vote against ObamaCare 2. 
We’re looking for some political courage, and we’ll be watching to see who knows how to fight for Colorado.
UPDATE: The McInnis campaign notes that he spoke out against ObamaCare early in his campaign and continues to. A You Tube video is here.
