Elevated Voices: "There are already three candidates running for governor in 2006 - Democrat Bill Ritter and Republicans Marc Holtzman and Bob Beauprez - but of the four statewide races that will be decided next November, this is the only race with a full slate on each side. All of that should change in the next month or so, and it sounds like we're already heading in that direction. Of the four statewide races (not including CU Regent), only that of state treasurer thus far has announced Democrats on the slate. Interestingly, 2006 will be a year where none of the top jobs features an incumbent who was elected by the people. Elected State Treasurer Mike Coffman took a leave of absence for a tour of duty in Iraq in the spring, and Governor Bill Owens appointed state Sen. Mark Hillman - who will run for the job in 2006 - as his interim replacement. Elected Secretary of State Donnetta Davidson left last summer for an appointment in Washington D.C., and Owens filled her job with Gigi Dennis, who by most indications will run for re-election. And elected Attorney General Ken Salazar left in January to take his post in the U.S. Senate, after which Owens appointed Republican John Suthers to take his place. While there are three Republicans who can technically be called 'incumbents' for these three seats, none have the comfort of knowing that the voters of Colorado have already agreed with them once before."

SoapBlox Colorado: "There's lots of Buckeye transplants who hang around this blog--me, rnoboa, and em dash off the top of my head. Our Speaker of the House, Andrew Romanoff, also grew up in Ohio. In yesterday's thread about 'Other state-wide positions', rnoboa posted a long history of the Ohio GOP, it's rise to power, and how they did it. I think there are lessons in there our state Dems could learn from, so I'm bringing this comment in to it's own post here..."
