Thanks

I go on (f*ck it, we'll do it) live for his Texas show that then gets replayed usually just after 5pm. Mario's show runs 4-7pm.

How usual

is appearance on the show? I tend to work longer hours in the office and miss most talk radio shows. Maddow is the only one I still religiously listen to (when's she's not sitting for KO).

it's actually a link to

this article on Weld County.

I'm in CD 2 and I'm for Joan...

I don't dislike any of the candidates but Joan has been there for Democrats for a long time. She's a fighter and I want somebody scrappy. But I won't say anything bad about either of the other two candidates.

Fark has tons

of awesome LOLish images on McCain. They seem to have adopted a "Pancakes" theme for the guy.

Good point about Joan.

I know she has been proactive. I wish I had mentioned that myself.

Counterpoint

One of the things that drew me to Perlmutter back in the day was his help getting others elected. On this front I know that Joan has a long history of being out there with candidates, endorsing them and canvassing and revving up support for other Dems. I don't know about her financial backing, but she's definitely had her feet on the ground for a long time.

Polis' money doesn't bother me. I've said before I don't see any problem with someone spending their own money on a contest. I'm just trying, as a conscientuous voter, to keep in mind that more flyers in my mailbox doesn't necessarily equate to more support from Dems.

She Needs to See Dept of Labor's Toxic Chem Rules Proposal

saindenver — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 17:58:23 GMT

She is presently working on major legislation for both consumer safety and food safety. Boring little things that will get no press, but will save many many lives from here forward.

Carol Leonnig in the Wapo has this:

Political appointees at the Department of Labor are moving with unusual speed to push through in the final months of the Bush administration a rule making it tougher to regulate workers' on-the-job exposure to chemicals and toxins.

I have written her and hope she and others put a stop to this kind of behavior by Bush's own Elaine Chao.

I want to second your sentiments

Pager — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 17:57:33 GMT

on one of your points. Jared has consistently put his money where his mouth is when it comes to Democrats and initiatives and that holds quite a bit of weight with me. It's one thing to run for office; it's quite another to have spent a good portion of your adult life working to help others get elected.

I'm not as informed on the other two candidates as I probably should be so I won't comment on Joan's stances on the issues, since I frankly don't know them.

One other point you made that I heartily agree with--I just know that for me, I really don't give a shit if Polis is wealthy and I could care even less if he spends his own money on this race. So what? Like Joan and Will wouldn't if they had the money? Bullshit. They'd be writing checks, hand over fist, if they had the capability to self fund.

That is one of the few things that has grated on me with the other two candidates--their consistent and constant griping about Polis and his money. They sound petulant and envious, more than anything else and it's a turnoff to hear it all the damn time.

This is another reason for Severance Tax Reform
