Please don’t construe the headline on this article as a necessarily glum and fatalistic commentary on the stages of life. It isn’t meant to be. It’s just that it sums up three events that have recently occured (or will occur, in one instance) and which show us the differing points in life that we’re experiencing aside from all the politics. Let’s begin, naturally, at the beginning: the first stage of life. Maes picks former Democrat, Trial Lawyers Association member for LG
Tambor Williams is running mate. ...And what about Ted Harvey, Tom T.'s choice to replace Maes?

By Jody Hope Strogoff Gotcha. We admit the headline over this week’s column might be a tad on the sensational side, but it is also true. Tambor Williams, selected by Republican Party gubernatorial nominee Dan Maes this week to be his running mate, is indeed a former Democrat and at one time was a member of the more politically liberal Trial Lawyers Association in Colorado. Major GOP players line up behind Hick

By Jody Hope Strogoff The cat is out of the bag. Or stated in more politically correct terminology, the elephant (or elephants plural) have left the herd. These Aurora precinct caucuses bucked tradition

By Jody Hope Strogoff “Buck” seemed to be the operative word at Lansing Elementary School in Aurora Tuesday night when Republicans from several precincts met for their biennial caucuses. Everyone's still waiting on Romanoff

By Jody Hope Strogoff Democrat Michael Bennet continues to make headway in his first U.S. Senate race with stellar fundraising ($1,162,000 in the 4th quarter alone and a total of $4,823,706 year to date) and an enhanced ability to articulate his positions. Political whirlwind harks back to '04

By Jody Hope Strogoff As Colorado’s political world was being rocked this week by the seismic announcement that Gov. Bill Ritter would not run for reelection, numerous after shocks were being recorded in the days to follow. A little change to spice things up

By Jody Hope Strogoff This issue is our last for 2009, and we’ve intentionally kept it smaller than usual for a couple of reasons. First, there’s a little lull in the political world right now, which is fine with me. I think the holidays should be spent with family and friends — and maybe a glass of eggnog — rather than with the same old faces and standard fare at political events. An end of an era for old time politicos

By Jody Hope Strogoff For longtime politicos — or those of us old enough to have covered their comings and goings over the years, myself included — it was an end to an era last month when Adams County Republican activist Hal Shroyer died in a Commerce City care facility at the age of 88. News focuses on its gatherers

By Jody Hope Strogoff We’re supposed to cover the news, not make it. But lately that hasn’t been the case. Ritter could think “out of the box” for Senate appointment
Polly Baca provides a thoughtful alternative for Ritter

By Jody Hope Strogoff There are numerous Democrats being talked about as potential successors to Sen. Ken Salazar and many are top notch contenders. How inadequate Colorado Republicans must feel in comparison. Nary a handful of names as impressive as the ones being mentioned comes to mind had the vacancy occurred within the GOP. |
