Face the State

"Congratulations to Libertarian Candidate Bob Barr. In both Indiana and North Carolina, Barr received more votes than Obama won those states by. In other words, if you believe that Libertarian votes would have gone Republican (something I think is much less true than it might have been 4 or 8 years ago), John McCain might have won one or both of those states had Bob Barr not been on the ballot.

Given that I had bet someone a beer that Obama would get over 340 electoral votes, I really needed one of those states to go Blue."

"I have never heard such despicable lies in political ads as those ads running against Colorado Amendments numbers 47 and 49, the former being "right to work" (i.e. not to have to be a union member or pay union dues to get any particular job) and the latter removing the government's ability to automatically deduct union dues from paychecks.

Critics are calling the ads attacks on teachers and firemen."

"The following letter to the editor is in response to an article in the Pueblo Chieftain called "Udall, Schaffer at odds over buyout package"

To the Editor:

Every time I read more of Mark Udall’s economic idiocy, I wonder – especially during such challenging economic times – why anyone could consider voting for him instead of the obviously more economically-literate Bob Schaffer...."

"I jumped into the middle of a protest march in downtown Denver on Monday morning, then spent some time in Civic Center Park, the main coordinating point for the various socialists, anarchists, communists, stoners, and morons who have descended on our city for the week."

"I had the opportunity to interview Frank Donatelli, Deputy Chairman of the Republican National Committee, on Friday afternoon. Mr. Donatelli had just returned to Washington, D.C. after a multi-state trip which included a visit to Colorado to get a closer look at both the Presidential and Senate races in which Coloradoans will be voting in three months as well as coordinating with the leaders of the Colorado GOP on the implementation of the party’s Victory Program."
