Denver mayoral party-hopping
Last night, I witnessed the victory speeches of both mayoral candidates who qualified for the June 7 runoff, Chris Romer and Michael Hancock, making me perhaps the only person to do so. (You may recall I did something similar with the senatorial and gubernatorial primaries last August.) Here’s some video of both, mixed with iMovie on my iPhone: Earlier in… Read more »

Election Day in Denver
Mail-in election? Ha! I spent two hours last night researching the candidates, then dropped off my ballot today — Election Day — at the nearest Voter Service Center. I refuse to go along with this newfangled mail-in, multi-day election nonsense. Elections are held on ONE day, always a Tuesday, as God intended when He invented democracy. Why, in my day,… Read more »
