CO-Gov: Tancredo sez it’s "elitist" for elected people to think they should do their job
In a massive ocean of crazy, Tom Tancredo manages to once again rise above the rest.
TANCREDO: It is an attitude that you see all the time. Yes, I spent 10 years in Congress. I could certainly see it there. There is a sort of an elitist idea that seeps...
Polling and Political Wrap, 10/25/10
It is inevitable, in the closing days of the electoral cycle, to see polling go from sporadic, to steady, to overwhelming.
It looks like we just passed that final signpost. Welcome to poll-a-geddon. A new record (and on a Monday, no less!) of 60 polls await us to kick off the penultimate Monday of...
CO-Sen, Gov: PPP–Buck/Bennet tied, Tancredo in striking distance
Pretty good and potentially really bad news out of Colorado today via Public Policy Polling. First the really bad.
Tom Tancredo continues to surge as Dan Maes' support completely collapses in the Colorado Governor's race and John Hickenlooper now leads the race by only a 47-44 margin with Maes getting 5%.

Polling and Political Wrap, 10/23/10
As might be expected on the weekend before the weekend before the election, the polling volume for this Saturday edition of the Wrap is seriously elevated. We head close to the half-century mark, with a grand total of 49 polls to peruse, with the serious probability that several more will come with the Sunday papers.
...CO-Gov: Colorado GOP ready to cut off nose to spite face
Since hapless GOP governor candidate Dan Maes has refused to be bribed off of the ballot by the state GOP, the GOP has apparently decided to embrace crazy Tom Tancredo
State GOP chairman Dick Wadhams is definitely singing a different tune these days when it comes to whether Republican Dan Maes...
Polling and Political Wrap, 10/19/10
Amid rain, thunder, and lightning here in SoCal (a phenomenon we see in this part of the state about once every other year), there is also no small amount of turbulence on the polling front. No small amount of volume, either, as we head north of the half century mark yet again. The final tally...
Polling and Political Wrap, 10/16/10
On a day when lovely Southern California has weather more indigenous to the great Northwest (read: drizzly, gray and 60 degrees), it is a mixed day on the polling front. While one of two of the bad boys listed therein will brighten the day of Democrats, while others bear a clear resemblance to a towering...
Polling and Political Wrap-Up, 10/7/10
After last night's deluge of data (for those that enjoy alliteration), today's polling load drops to a mere steady rain. Indeed, tonight's poll count stands at a "mere" 23 polls, less than half of the number that was tallied on Wednesday.
Among the highlights: either Dems are on the move in New Hampshire, or...
CO-Gov: Tancredo endangering Colorado GOP’s future
The already-epic battle between Colorado Republican party chair Dick Wadhams and former Republican Congressman, now American Constitution Party candidate for governor Tom Tancredo is going to get even uglier. Tancredo's run as the only conservative alternative to Republican Dan Maes could dramatically weaken the Republican party in the next two election cycles.
...CO-Gov: A kernel of truth in Maes tall tale
Remember hapless Dan Maes and his story about being an undercover agent with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation investigating a gambling and drug ring, where he was fired because "got too close to some significant people in the community who were involved in these activities"? Well, some of it was sort of true.
...Polling and Political Wrap, 10/2/10
The first October edition of the Wrap is a fairly light one, probably the last Wrap of the cycle for which that can be said. Only 18 polls greet us on the weekend, meaning plenty of time for college football for regular Wrap readers (or, for the truly addicted, scouring the Sunday editions of the...
