For the common good?

Wow, this Crisanta believes she is doing the common good for all of us. Obviously she is looking to fill a sit wherever she can. From what I heard, Estevan Flores was planning on running but rather not fill because he was supporting another candidate. It's this kind of strange that now she is no longer on the union board she is looking to keep her prestige role in any sit available to her. What about all the bad press she received lately and also on Colorado Pols. What happened to the common good for the community? Oh, wait, she didn't believe in protecting the hard workers in the union. Why serve the community? She sounds to me more like Republican then Democratic. And saying she already has money to dish out? She is no stranger to spending other people's money.

Senate Line

How about updating the Colorado Senate line?  Rasmussen has Norton up by 9 over Bennett and 11 over Romanoff.  Hard to argue she isn't the front runner at this point!

Rasmussen

Actually it is very easy to discount Rasmussen polls without other polling to back it up.

Rasmussen often allows the people paying for the polls dictate the questions and the demographics of the sample questioned. When this is done, it causes skewing of the results.

I would want to see a poll from a firm that uses their own sampling procedures based on a correlation to real vote turnout before giving the Rasmussen poll credence.

now that Garcia is giving up his council seat

a lot of races get more interesting and you need to add a line for the council seat.

A lot depends on when Garcia's seat is declared 'vacant' (election before the end of the legislative session or shortly thereafter?).  I can't imagine a circumstance in which the election would not be held during the session

Paula will be restricted from some funding sources while still in session, though she is capable of self-funding.  Will she resign the senate seat as soon as the vacancy is declared in order to run for council and be able to raise money?

Does Don Mares get in the council race?  He had been considering it before Ritter decided not to run.  I know that Mares has been making calls about the Mayoral race, but will he abandon that to run for council?  Or does he run for council and then turn around and run for Mayor?

Does Jerry have the votes on the vacancy committee?

Plenty of questions.

UFCW leadership took Duran's endorsement away.

As a fellow labor activist observed:
SHE GOT VOTED OUT OF A 23,000 MEMBER UNION...
but...
WANTS TO BE VOTED IN TO A 71,000 CONSTITUENT DISTRICT.
...right.
I can't make sense of that either. 1,500 voting members of the union she was political director/legal counsel/president's daughter for told her "we will no longer be needing your services" and Crisanta is turning around to tell us (yes, I live in District 5) that we would somehow benefit from her services as a representative in House District 5. it just doesn't add up...
