Winners and Losers

CO-6 is all the rage in a sloooow news week, producing winners and a loser; and a general mishap with his tongue pushes a General into the losers' ranks. So check in with Wally Edge for Weekly Winners & Losers. You won't want to miss the fireworks.

Winners

Losers

Barack Obama

We were a little skeptical when Obama showed up in the CO-5 to preach the values of service and religion. But we think he pulled it off with some success. It shows how comfortable his campaign is at this point.

John McCain

McCain announces the opening of his southwest regional office to coordinate the Western states to include Colorado. Better hurry up coordinating because the McCain folks in Colorado have the sense of chiggers: the only thing they know how to do is bite and suck.

Republican principals

That’s republican with a small “r”. How can we let the eve of our nation’s birthday go by without recognizing it? We can’t.

Wesley Clark

Wes has blown his chance to be Secretary of State. Democrats have told him “Go away and don’t come back until after the election.” Way to use your 15 minutes of fame, Wes.

Mike Coffman

Another impressive outing for the little Marine that could. His campaign announces fundraising in excess of $300k for the quarter. It’s not the end for other candidates, but it could be the beginning of the end.

Wil Armstrong

Armstrong announces another endorsement from a score of Republicans who have led his party from a majority to one of the worst environments the GOP’s had since the Civil War mid terms. If a person is going serve the way he campaigns, Wil ought to retire now with Allard.

Ted Harvey

Harvey gets a trade endorsement from the credit unions. That might push him into the mid teens. Harvey doesn’t have to win at this point; he just has to do respectably. Oh, and hope Bill Armstrong forgives him.

English speaking world

We also can’t let the nation’s birthday go by without pointing out that the English speaking world has lost something by the diminution of the bonds between our great republic and Great Britain, as if such a thing even exists today.
