I'm sure many of you know how competitive Colorado is, on many levels, in the upcoming election. As farleftfagala went into in great detail on 9/25 in his diary, "Retaking the Colorado House (September)," the State House is particularly competitive. While our Senate has a five seat democratic majority going into November, the Republicans have controlled by a mere ONE SEAT majority in the House. That single seat, of course, is why the lovely Frank McNulty is Speaker for the House, giving him the power to, among many other less-noted actions, single-handedly crush the Civil Unions bill in May by sending it to his "kill committee" (on my birthday no less… if it had been horrible enough already, that made it personal).

I was recently hired by NARAL Pro-Choice Colorado, the leading political action organization in our state's pro-choice movement, to recruit volunteers for phone-banking outreach in support of Pete Lee's reelection in Colorado's House District 18. We currently have no existing ground operation in El Paso County, so my job is to rally whatever I can to help defend this critical House seat. I'm asking for Coloradans in the DailyKos community who are able to spare a few hours making calls with us. We will be educating voters previously identified as supporters of pro-choice issues as well as likely supporters. Our goal is to make sure Pete Lee's voters know how close they are to losing their Representative if they don't show up and vote down the ballot.

A little background on the election after the flip...

I've been away from my computer lately; so while this is similar to other postings that are even now on the rec list, I was having trouble wading too far through the hundreds to thousands of posts on this topic but still wanted to say my bit.

I've always hated Lieberman ever since he was the VP candidate (I was only 15 at the time, so I wasn't too familiar with politicians outside of the mainstream) and, like everyone else, my opinion of him has steadily decreased to a loathing that reached rather epic proportions over the last year. And I would have loved to see him humiliated and removed from his seat, I think it was indeed prudent to leave him where he is for the time being.

In today's International Herald Tribune, there was an interesting article on a little country called Bhutan. It's almost humorous to read, but is a good example of why democracy doesn't work if forced upon a country by others.

According to a New York Times story, John McCain and Joe Lieberman are already causing all hell to break loose on the streets of Jerusalem.

Politico has a story this morning revealing how Bill Clinton's popularity has gone down since he started campaigning for his wife. I'm not sure, but it might have to do with he and his wife's continuous belittling of more than half of the Democratic electorate.

So how has your opinion of Bill faired over recent months?

Every day, I read skim over countless blog posts. Obviously, the majority have to do with the Democratic Primaries because I, like so many others, have become obsessed with following every little twist and turn in the campaign.

I can't recall how many times I've seen a delusional Clinton supporter proclaim, "This is the beginning of the end for Obama!!" Are you all that moronic? Pray to whatever you find holy that nothing causes Obama's downfall because that will be the day the Democratic Party crumbles.

I don't know how much this has already been discussed (I'm just getting on for the first time today), but looking at the Huffington Post I saw this glorious article and had to make sure everybody knew.

The fact that Olbermann is actually going so far as to do a Special Comment on Hillary's growing insanity shows just how ridiculous this entire situation has gone. I never thought I'd see the day when he would do one against a Democrat.

So set your tivo and enjoy.
