“Don’t underestimate me,” declared newly announced Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders to George Stephanopoulos on Sunday. That may be good advice. By conventional standards, Sanders’ candidacy is absurd: He’s not well known, he doesn’t have big money donors, he’s not charismatic, and by Beltway standards, he’s ideologically extreme. But candidates with these liabilities have caught fire before.

  • Colorado’s 3rd District prepares for epic, costly election battle — even without Lauren Boebert
    Denver Post, Friday - 04/26/2024 - 08:00 AM

    Since U. S. Rep. Lauren Boebert opted to change her address to one clear across the state late last year, the race for Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District has fallen out of the media glare that seemingly shines on the controversial Republican congresswoman wherever she goes.
