Shawn Coleman finds his calling

Shawn Coleman elected Obama delegate at 2nd CD convention. Finally, this guy finds his calling, which is national and state politics, not nasty local city politics. Shawn will never get elected to City counsel while he is under 35 years old, especially given his pro-growth positions and his pro-business positions on the downtown boulder planning commission Residents don't want some kid to tell them how to govern their city.

But state and national politics are different. Shawn should get out of poisonous city politics and focus on the state, where youth counts and broad ideas matter. Also, growth has a completely different meaning at the state level, where a broad environmental position is all that is needed for a Democrat. And people that wouldn't even think about having him on city council would happily have him in a state or national position.

David Thielin makes ass of self at Dem convention

Political poseur David Thielin made an ass out of himself at the Second CD convention this last weekend, passing out cheesy home-made flyers with La Rouche like undertones. Will Schafroth actually rolled his eyes as David spewed out his political conspiracy theories.

Will the Second CD actually vote for this numskull? Not with 3 Obama delegates at stake, there were some really plugged in people running for delegate, and running a Boulder blog like David does is not exactly a way to get credibility with the party.

David Thielin - political dummy for National delegate?

Republican liberal poseur David Thielin wants to be a national delegate for Obama, even though he endorsed Edwards on his little read web page. Why is David a Rush clone? And can David be trusted not to switch his vote and the convention?

David is untrustworthy. First, he endorsed Republican Bob Greenlee to run against liberal progressive Democrat Claire Levy for the state house. Why would any Democrat delegate want this type of person as a delegate. This is what he wrote about our Democratic representative.

"As to the Republicans, here is what you do. When it's time to select your candidate for this seat, wait until Bob Greenlee leaves the convention floor for a minute and then quickly vote to make him the Republican candidate to challenge Claire. That would be a great race." http://www.davidthielen.info/politics/2007/11/claire-ms-arrog.html

Second, he manipulates the news to fit his views, like Fox News Liberal councilperson Macon Cowles said said that as the one-man operator of his Web site, Thielen has the power to color the picture of candidates that voters receive, and he's not convinced he'll be fair. "I would not give Rush Limbaugh the chance to distort my record or my views, and I will not give that chance to Thielen, who is not 'Liberal and loving it!' as proclaimed on his masthead."

Third, he has posted extensively about electing Republicans in Boulder County.
