The Cherry Creek News: "Colorado Congressman Mark Udall (D-Eldorado Springs) joined a bipartisan group of senators and U.S. representatives on Capitol Hill today in introducing a congressional resolution calling for a new national renewable energy goal of producing 25% of the nation's energy supply from the nation's farms and rural communities by 2025. The resolution builds on a broad and politically influential coalition including agriculture, industry, and environmental leaders, as well as several governors and state legislatures."

The Moderate Voice: "Whether a third party is practical, viable and can do more than defeat one of the big parties by sucking away people that would vote for it are separate issues that can be debated later. But, for NOW, one thing is certain: there is LOTS of 'buzz' in centrist circles across the country about finding ways to short-circuit polarization - even if this means looking at a third party alternative. One of the highest-profile groups is Unity08, which seeks to offer an alternative ticket."

Tom Tancredo won a presidential straw poll of Michigan voters, according to the Denver Post. From the article, "Rep. Tom Tancredo's calls to strengthen the southern border are resonating loudly near the northern one, where some Republicans have named him as their top choice for U.S. president. Tancredo, R-Colo., won a straw poll of Republicans in Macomb County, Mich., on the 2008 presidential race. Tancredo won 60 of the 327 GOP delegates, about 18 percent, in the key Republican county, a suburb of Detroit, beating 13 others, including Sen. John McCain of Arizona, former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and even Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, son of former Michigan Gov. George Romney. The win did not signify an earnest drive to put Tancredo in the Oval Office, however. 'The participants that voted for him in the poll stated they were doing so to show their displeasure with the immigration policy that's being discussed in Washington,' said Saul Anuzis, chairman of the Michigan GOP. 'It was less a vote for who they wanted for president and more of a protest vote.'"
