DNC

In this week's Winners & Losers, Jesse Jackson shares with us his recipe for Rocky Mountain oysters; and Wally guesses the condition by which US Rep Doug Lamborn might agree to debate his opponents. So check in with Wally Edge for Weekly Winners & Losers. And remember Doug: things always go better with a Coke and a smile.

Sources have told the Inside Edge that Obama's decision not to coordinate with the Democrats could have implications for the top of the Democratic Party in Colorado. At issue is who controls the money that the DNC raises for the presidential race in Colorado. It's not going to be Waak, apparently.

In today's Inside Edge, Wally takes up the, biased, slanted coverage of the Democratic National Convention held in Denver 100 years ago. Yes, Wally even has opinions on that.  

A funny story about cows in Denver leads Wally to ponder some serious questions about conflict of interest. If Obama's vetter-of-veeps-in-chief can't get a loan from Countrywide, should the Denver Post be calling the shots about cattle drives during the DNC this summer? Better yet should any media be subsidizing any political convention? 

Who's up? Who's down? Check out our picks for this week's major political players, the winners and the losers.

A new Democratic National Committee ad that criticizes John McCain on Iraq will begin airing on cable TV in Colorado, the Colorado Democratic Party announced Tuesday.

The ad, entitled "100," will also be shown at Democratic organizational events around the state, a press release stated.

The DNC said the ad will air nationwide. However, the  Republican National Committee claims the ad distorts McCain's words and has written NBC, CNN, and MSNBC to insist they not air the ad.

WASHINGTON, DC - Democratic Governor Bill Ritter told PolitickerCO.com today that Denver would be ready for the Democratic National Convention, which is being held in August.

“Yes, we are going to be ready,” said Ritter, who is here today for the National Governors Association conference. “We are enthused beyond words.”

Ritter turned and added:

“And it looks like it’s going to be a very exciting convention.”
