A pro-pot demonstration at the University of Colorado's Farrand Field drew eight to ten thousand protesters calling for legalization/decriminalization of pot. The event was peaceful and no arrests were made.

Not all the economic bad news is bad...

Colorado Springs based Focus on the Family is cutting 1/5th of its work force and four of it's eight publications.

Cuts are coming from marketing, human resources and finance. The operation is going to concentrate on the internet, rather than traditional publications.

The big story this week is CAP4K, Governor Ritter's cornerstone education reform package, which quietly passed and awaits the Governor's signature. The legislature adjourned one day early, having failed to reform TABOR and having failed to implement some minor policy changes the governor asked for. Now, the insurance bill was pretty major, but is this session a win or a loss for Colorado Democrats?

Colorado appears to be a bellweather state AND a state in which the tide may be turning for Democrats. Yet it is a difficult state for Democrats to win. Remember, Bush beat Kerry by 5% in 2004 and Gore by 9% in 2000.

1992 1996 2000 2004
Rep 36 46 51 52
Dem 40 44 42 47
Ind 23 7 5 1

So the Democrats will have to scrap for Colorado and capitalize on the record turnout in the February caucuses.

Environmental groups announced yesterday they will back Mark Udall and come in with all the PR resources at their disposal.

The coalition's campaign will target "persuadable voters" who are skeptical and turn to outside organizations for information to back up their choices, said Cathy Duvall of the Sierra Club, one of the organizations in the coalition.

She said oil companies have come to symbolize what's wrong with Washington, and it's easy to make that link when oil companies report record profits at the same time taxpayers are subsidizing those companies and paying increasing prices at the gas pump.

Even when voters list the economy as the most important issue, they talk about the price of gas or heating and cooling their home, said Gene Karpinski of the League of Conservation Voters. And, he said, candidates frame the argument in terms of a clean energy policy being good for the economy.

Environmental groups don't like Big Oil Bob Schaeffer.
