6th CD

The downfall of the Christian Right in Colorado can't be pinned on any one cause, but in part it can be traced back to several key characters who show up repeatedly in several key parts of the tragedy. In today's Inside Edge we'll take a look at how the saved and the sinner's alike share a time in the wilderness.   

In today's Inside Edge Harvey was crowned Ms. 6th CD in a tight race. So now the real campaign beigns. And the Scheffel Shuffle continues!

In this week's edition of Winners and Losers, we take a look at a candidate not competing at the 6th CD assembly, the two U.S. Senate candidates making molehills out of mountains (or something like that), a Colonel of Marines who spent more time whining than winning votes and we let Kristi Burton take a bow. She's earned it.

Steve Ward's candidacy in the 6th Congressional race is threatend by a non-person which will appear on the ballot: "I abstain." So while the Inside Edge has always viewed Ward as the odd-man out amongst the serious contenders in the 6th, on Saturday we could have our first statistcal proof, with delegates saying that they prefer someone not on the ballot before they prefer Ward.

Every Friday, Inside Edge answers your questions about Colorado politics. This week: a vote of support for Wil Armstrong's first venture into TV advertising, Doug Lamborn's next venture into scapegoating, and a "thriller" starring Jason Bane! 

With a “do nothing” Colorado legislature adjourning for the regular 2008 session, there are some clear winners, and maybe some winners that aren’t so clear. Meanwhile, a few congressional candidates continue their bumbling, stumbling ways and means, and a Colorado Senate candidate shows he might not be ready for the rough and tumble of politics, politicker style. Find out who are this week's Winners and Losers in Colorado politics.

In watching the debate last night at the Southridge Rec Center, we looked at both style and substance in grading each of the 6th CD candidates and here are Wally's conclusions:

Mike Coffman Grade: A

Tonight when the four Republicans who are trying to replace retiring Tom Tancredo square off at the Southridge Recreation Center in the first of PolitickerCO’s sponsored debates, each will emphasize a theme that will likely set the tone for the rest of the campaign. In this debate preview we’ll take a look at each of the candidates, what they are likely to say and how we think it may play.  read more »

Schaffer didn’t look so vapid when he was parasailing off the Mariana Islands. We saw the picture on ColoradoPols, just like everyone else. You can see the TPM video that explains the whole story in a nutshell.

6th CD candidate Senator Steve Ward is hosting an energy forum on April 17th in Highlands Ranch where he will discuss “the current state of the industry, break-through technologies, and options for liquid fuels,” according to the email he put out trolling for attendees.

And, oh by the way: the forum is complimentary according to the email.  read more »
