Weblogs in Elections MyDD: "Representative (Mark) Strama was invited by the Austin Kos group to speak at the Bloggers' Caucus, which was attended by numerous candidates for office at various levels of government in Texas. Following is the story Mark told of how he used technology to achieve his election victory with less funding than his opponent's. (Editor's note: If in the Texas House election of 2004 there was an equivalent of the arrogance of U.S. congressman Tom DeLay, it was the outrageous arrogance of Strama's opponent, Republican Jack Stick.) If he ran his campaign in Denver Mr. Strama would probably have won one of the coveted Gulchie Awards. Thanks to Left in the West for the link.

Beauprez for Governor? Colorado Pols: "It looks like we were wrong on this one. Earlier this week we had heard that Congressman Joel Hefley was leaning towards endorsing Marc Holtzman for governor, but he must not have been leaning that far. Congressman Bob Beauprez announced today that Hefley has endorsed his candidacy for governor." Category: Denver November 2006 Election 6:53:27 AM    comment []
