The Denver Post is speculating on the Democrats most likely to run for the Colorado Second Congressional District. The two I am most interested in are State Senate President Joan Fitz-Gerald and Jarad Polis.
In its article, the Denver Post has provided a very useful comment:
"I don't expect any real Republican threat," said Bob Loevy, a political science professor at Colorado College. "The next person in the seat will probably be the winner of the (Democratic) primary and likely the most liberal of those who run."
If you think about it, this is a comment (or a reworded version) that should go into the Wikipedia entries of Polis (who doesn't have an entry yet), Fitz-Gerald, and Udall. The Post and others will be trying to label Udall as a "moderate," and yet this quote says that winners of CO2 primaries are likely the most liberal of those who run.
I would like to see three different readers of this blog tackle this project, one for each of the three folks. Don't forget to cite the Post article, rather than this blog as the source.
There are two reasons I am recruiting others to do this. The first is that I want other Republicans to become Wikipedia savvy, and the second is that I would prefer that different authors be seen as making the entries.
The article also mentions two other Democrats in passing: House Majority Leader Alice Madden and Will Shafroth, head of the Colorado Conservation Trust, each said they are mulling a potential run.
