? for U.S. Senate? Jason Bane (via Elevated Voices): "Schaffer has only officially been in the race for less than four months, but things have gone poorly literally from the very beginning. In early May Schaffer announced his candidacy, then backtracked, then announced again. It was hardly a smooth entry into a race, and announcing your candidacy usually isn't the toughest thing to do. Raising money is hard. Organizing volunteers is hard. Announcing that you are going to run...not so much." Category: Denver November 2008 Election 6:41:17 PM

News Consumption: Peering into the Future From The Cherry Creek News, "Like the cable and broadcast revolutions, the Internet revolution is redistributing the news audience in ways that has and will continue to benefit some news outlets, while harming others, according to a research report released today by the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government...The biggest gains in audience occurred among the non-traditional news providers. The sites of search engines, service providers, aggregators, and bloggers grew faster on average than the sites of traditional news providers, whether print, broadcast, or cable. The sites of Google, Yahoo, AOL, and MSN, along with sites such as newsvine.com, topix.net, digg.com and reddit.com, saw large increases in traffic during the past year." 6:17:01 PM
