U.S. Congressman Tom Tancredo is still testing the waters for a presidential run in 2008, according to the Denver Post. From the article, "Rep. Tom Tancredo is in Iowa this weekend assessing whether he should formally announce a plan to run for president. 'What comes out of this weekend will determine whether or not he sets up an exploratory committee,' Tancredo spokesman Carlos Espinosa said. Tancredo, R-Littleton, is in the state to publicize his book, 'In Mortal Danger.' But while he's there, he's talking to Republican leaders in the state. Tancredo often talks about running for president to publicize the immigration issue. If he decides to announce, Espinosa said, it's because he cares so much about the cause, and not because he thinks he can win election. 'Any bid that Tom would put up, it would be fighting for third place,' Espinosa said. 'Third place would be a huge victory for Tom Tancredo.' He's eyeing Iowa because, in his view, there are only two Republican front-runners who plan to compete in the caucus there: Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney."

Here's an article about New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson from The Albuquerque Tribune. They write, "It's just 450 miles and 20 months until the big shindig for the Dems. As in, the Democratic National Convention. As in, the convention at which Richardson could be crowned as the party's nominee in the 2008 race for the White House. 'This isn't just a win for Denver and Colorado, but for the whole mountain west,' Richardson said in a statement. 'From Montana to New Mexico, the West is the most fertile ground for Democrats. The Denver convention in 2008 will only further these efforts.' Richardson pushed for Denver to be the host city, and for Washington Democrats to recognize the West as a key area for the party. Democrats in recent years have gained ground in western states, historically seen as a conservative area."

James Dobson has come out against a John McCain Candidacy, according to the WorldNetDaily. From the article, "A prominent Christian leader whose radio and magazine outreaches are solidly in support of biblically-based marriages - and keep in touch with millions of constituents daily - says he cannot consider Arizona Sen. John McCain a viable candidate for president. 'Speaking as a private individual, I would not vote for John McCain under any circumstances,' said James Dobson, founder of the Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family as well as the Focus Action cultural action organization set up specifically to provide a platform for informing and rallying constituents."

Coyote Gulch received a shout out this morning in Dave Kopel's column in the Rocky Mountain News. Mr. Kopel writes, "CoyoteGulch.net is a left-leaning blog with a special focus on Colorado water issues. By collecting water news from sources all over the state, CoyoteGulch proves a great resource on a critical Colorado issue, even if you disagree with CoyoteGulch's water policy viewpoint." Thanks!.
We're wondering if this'll help us get that press credential for the 2008 Democratic National Convention? It can't hurt.
