John Salazar (D?-Pueblo/Gunnison), brother of Colorado's semi-beloved, former Senator and current Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar, has been recently found to be aiding and abetting a land swap deal for one of the Koch Brothers up here in Colorado.
Locals don't like it. Partly because the recipient of the favors, Bill Koch, can't be trusted, and partly because Salazar is pushing this tricky land swap that veers far and wide of the normal process: [S]ome staffers at the Bureau of Land Management worry that Koch will be getting land with much higher value because of its potential for energy development. They also complain that there was very little opportunity for public input and scrutiny of the deal. There were no public hearings specifically devoted to gathering public comment, as there are with most proposed government land swaps.
"I'm not very pleased about it. It doesn't look like a very good deal for me or other people in this area," said Tony Prendergast, a former Forest Service ranger.

Don't let anyone tell you Mark Udall is going to play it safe for six years, make easy calls on bland issues, and undo the taint of the half-assed "Boulder Liberal" smear compliment Dick Wadhams tried to use against him ad nauseam in '08.
Nosireebob, this guy has Proud Progressive tattooed to the inside of his eyelids: "Thank you Al Franken, John Kerry, Mark Udall, and all other Senators who favor Elizabeth Warren to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau! Thank you for putting Americans first!" Next from Mark: taking up for the Public Option where Michael Bennet petered out and calling out John McCain, if only privately, on his warmongering so we can rebuild our national parks.
Cuz we know they're going to call Mark the same thing no matter what he does, anyway.
Don't we, Mark?

That fight to bring Colorado back from the brink of a Republican-induced Armageddon, that seemed to have begun in the obscurity of an Old Chicago drinking room in the Springs, that was egged on by some guy named Ed Perlmutter - who I had never heard of - that made George Bush and Dick Cheney take John Kerry seriously in Colorado, IN COLORADO GOD DAMMIT !!, that forced Ed Rollins to unretire and run interference for that man-child from his Lexus, cannot possibly end like this, though I am deathly afraid it has:
"That's not what we want," Pelosi said, cutting him off. "That doesn't do any of us any good." In the end, Axelrod pointedly declined to say that the president would stop acknowledging the failures of both parties in Washington, but the message was received. In the weeks that followed, Obama intensified his rhetoric about Republicans, playing to his constituencies on the Hill as well as to the audiences he was addressing. I could write 10,000 words about this, but what good would it do?
They've already been written, been recycled, been rendered irrelevant by a post-partisan president who still thinks Republicans should be given the benefit of the doubt, though they won't even accept the fact that he's American.
