Stay Classy, Ted Harvey

Senate Bill 88, a bill that would grant health and dental benefits to same-sex couples employed by the state, passed committee on Friday. AP reports:
State analysts estimate that 79 people, including children, would be added to state health plans under the bill at a cost of about $116,000 a year.

Word on the street, Ward campaign says, is that he's leading

Some 6th Congressional District Republican primary campaigns have commissioned pollsters to survey how the race is playing out.

But Steve Ward's campaign prefers to poll 6th District voters the old-fashioned way: by going door-to-door themselves and asking them.

Where’s Ward? Watch the CO-6 debate on line

As we wait for the fundraising quarter to come to end, we suddenly remembered state senator Steve Ward, who is running to replace US Rep Tom Tancredo.

We had to stop and remember him because he's been kind of invisible since the CO-6 debate. And of course we watched the debate on Sunday on PBS. That's what jogged our memory.

You can see the complete debate online right here.
