DeLay Rule
Bull Moose: "The Moose begs the elephant to stick with their ethically-challenged Majority Leader. Although President Bush is the official chief Republican, Tom DeLay is a far better symbol of the party. He is the embodiment of the corrupt crony corporatism that is the modern GOP. DeLay is the poster boy for the sleazo-cons that rule the roost on Capitol Hill."

Colorado Water
From today's Denver Post: "A controversial cap on water allocations for whitewater kayak 'play parks' took another step closer to law Tuesday, winning the approval of the House Agriculture, Livestock and Natural Resources Committee. Senate Bill 62 has pitted tourism interests and whitewater enthusiasts against municipalities and agriculture. Before voting for the bill, committee member Rep. Ray Rose, R-Montrose, said it was of historic importance as tourism, development and agriculture collide in a time of water scarcity."

Denver November 2006 Election
Here's an opinion piece from the Denver Post editorial staff about the governor's race [March 24, 2004, "Everybody for governor?"]. They write, "Only a year ago, prominent politicians scattered like bugs when Colorado suddenly had an open U.S. Senate seat. Now, 19 months before the gubernatorial election, it seems everyone wants to run for governor. With a state budget fix in the works, maybe the job has become more appealing. Democrats, fresh off their statehouse victories last fall, now want one of their own in the governor's mansion. Republicans, still smarting from last fall's elections, want veto power if Democrats continue to hold the legislature. (Gov. Bill Owens is a lame duck.)"
Here's an article about Scott McInnis' potential run for governor from the Cortez Journal. From the article, "Three Republicans have already announced their plans for a campaign to succeed term-limited Gov. Bill Owens in 2006. But a popular choice among some Western Slope party faithful is former 3rd District Rep. Scott McInnis, R-Grand Junction."
