1. Local radio group with ties to Tancredo and the Independence Institute refuses to run ads from Tancredo's opponent -- Bill Winter. Bad right wing media.

2. Was told this morning by someone who has lived in Denver for 3 years -- and San Diego for five years prior --- that Denver is MUCH the better place for families. SSHH!

3. Update on the Haggard story -- yowza.

4. I'm liking Angie Paccione more and more --- amazing how much money the GOP (10:1 Musgrave $$ to Paccione). is having to pour into Musgrave's attacks against her. Angie's a tough former professional athlete and a born-again Christian --- don't think Muskrat's minions expected her to slam back from their sleaze-flood.

5. I can't imagine how classical GOP conservatives in Colorado must be feeling about the fact that the federal face of the CO GOP --- best case --- will be a pastiche of Wayne Allard, Tom Tancredo, Doug Lamborn, and Marilyn Musgrave. No one but the nuttiest of wingers would want to confess to that congressional crew as the best the Grand Old Party can provide from this great state...

6. I think Bush' entourage just flew by my office window via a helicoter convoy ... four choppers in a row, with one big fat one in the middle ... about at the level of my 25th floor office. I think they're in-town campaigning for Musgrave today....

7. Vote!
