		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s either pathetic or funny to see Sen. Michael Bennet desperately embracing President Obama for a Feb. 18 campaign event in Denver. (Read his manager&#8217;s breathless email below.) The two out-of-touch liberal incumbents, each dropping like a rock, must hope they can defy gravity by holding hands. Bennet just fell further behind GOP front-runner Jane [...]]]></description>

So destructive are its politically-motivated machinations that it is in the process of setting back American medicine &#8212; and the [...]]]></description>

Michael Bennet and former Speaker Andrew Romanoff, if the 2010 election were held today. Then it was Romanoff crowing that he tops all comers from [...]]]></description>

Hollywood leftie Henry Waxman’s is one of the names on the House bill, and few could name a Member of Congress who deserves more “credit” for laws burdening the U.S. [...]]]></description>

That the nation is divided over both obligates us to clarify their relationship to each other. Judge Sotomayor, whose [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gov. Ritter has asked Coloradans for their opinions and suggestions as to who should replace Sen. Ken Salazar now that Obama has given him a Cabinet position in thanks for delivering Colorado. My suggestion would be to try and recruit Colorado&#8217;s favorite son, John Elway. Political experience? No, but then that isn&#8217;t really a resume [...]]]></description>

Just mere weeks ago, we heard so much discussion about Sarah Palin. She did not have enough experience to hold such a high office. Never mind that Barack Obama has far less [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This last political season was defined by the word “hope”. But after the drubbing the GOP received on the national level, that word has not been associated with Republicans lately. Now the upcoming game of musical chairs in Colorado politics triggered by Senator Ken Salazar reportedly being named to President-Elect Obama’s cabinet, may give Colorado [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For Bill Ritter, Ken Salazar&#8217;s move from Senate to Cabinet is more a problem than an opportunity. His appointment to replace Salazar could topple dominoes among current officeholders, antagonize powerful also-rans, rile factions within the Democratic party, and complicate Ritter&#8217;s own reelection in 2010. That&#8217;s assuming he names a rising politician who wants to serve [...]]]></description>
