Wadhams is fluent in Newspeak
By Jeremy Pelzer, PolitickerCO.com ReporterSome call it the "war room."
But to state Republican Party Chair Dick Wadhams, the GOP opposition headquarters set up about a mile from the Pepsi Center has a more sinister name.
"Just consider this the Ministry of Truth," Wadhams joked to the Denver Post, referring to the ironically named propaganda organization in George Orwell's 1984.
The ministry's three slogans are "War is Peace," "Freedom is Slavery," and "Ignorance is Strength."
Wadhams' quip has made the rounds among Democratic National Convention delegates.

Quote of the Day
"With respect to Hank Eng's campaign, one of the problems with the campaign is that it started a little bit late and he wasn't able to get his name out; he wasn't able to get his message out and so nobody knew who he was. And that's something that I'm not going to allow to happen in my campaign."
- David Canter, an attorney from Highlands Ranch who has announced he will seek the Democratic nomination for the state's 6th Congressional district seat in 2010, on how he will run a different campaign from the one 2008 Democratic candidate Hank Eng did against U.S. Rep.-elect Mike Coffman.
