Surprise! The Supreme Court picks some winners this week. We just hope they clean under the bench regularly. Wally anoints some whinners of the week too. So check in with Wally Edge for Weekly Winners & Losers: it's your patriotic duty this whole week long.
Winners |
Losers |
Mark UdallIt’s early and we expect the race to be a squeaker, but being up 9-10 points early makes thing easier on a campaign in a long race. |
Jeff CrankCrank also came up loser this week when the Springs HBA issues a press release that essentially calls his version on the polling issue factually incorrect. |
Millionaires-The Supremes affirm Jared Polis’ and Marc Holztman’s right to waste as much money as they want on stillborn political careers. We all have the right to free-speech says the court. Rich guys just get more of it. |
Pat WaakWe read the Colorado Dems non-denial denial of Obama’s coordinated non-coordination decision. Pat, Pat, Pat. These are politicians. Do you think they are going to tell you they don’t trust you? |
Gunnies2nd amendment advocates get a win on handgun ban. But it’s not a total victory because it still leaves intact the ability to license firearms. |
Marilyn MusgraveThe target gets bigger, or maybe just more apparent, on Musgrave with special interests pouring money in on Betsy Markey’s behalf. Thanks for the tip Anne. |
Jeff CrankEveryone knows Crank is Hefley’s guy and so this week Hefley announces it. Again. A winner, just barely...see above |
Rima SinclairSinclair-Barakat gets some unwanted attention via FrontPage mag. It’s hard to see the GOP embracing her in HD 6 |
Joshua SharfSharf’s battle in HD 6 gets some national attention when it makes the pages of FrontPage. Got to be good for the campaign coffers. |
The Colorado StatesmanIt's also hard to imagine a newspaper getting a story more wrong than the Statesman's treatment of the Crank-Rayburn fiasco. That's what happens when you print yesterday's news next week. |

Sooo Wrong Wally
Oh Wally, your losers are so off base. Wouldn't consult you for my lottery ticket!
Odds against Wally
You're a newcomer to Colorado politics. I disagree with all of the losers listed, and especially your ranking of Crank as a loser. I read the Colorado Statesman newspaper and applaud their depth of coverage on all issues. Wally, you show an amazing lack of knowledge, but an abundance of bias for Mr. Rayburn who doesn't have a chance in hell in the 5th CD race - and that, my friend, is a quote from one your HBA sources.
Russian Roulette Wally
I can only guess that you're on seriously dangerous drugs. Colorado Statesman puts your crap to shame megatime! Pat Waak is NOT in trouble. Jeff Crank is leaps and bounds ahead of your mutt bet Rayburn, and you're eating too many press releases and calling it news! Get a brain!
