What's in my email inbox this morning?

CD7 Democratic candidate Herb Rubenstein pledges that if he's elected, he'll vote to bring our troops home from Iraq by July 1, 2007. If he doesn't, he pledges he won't seek re-election.

CD7 Democratic candidate Peggy Lamm apparently had a great time marching in the Gay Pride parade last weekend. Lamm also came out in support of net neutrality.

Former Governor Roy Romer sent an impassioned plea on behalf of CD7 Democratic candidate Ed Perlmutter, citing in particular Ed's commitment to early childhood education.

Is there a world outside of CD7 Democratic candidates? Well, there's CD4, where Roll Call reports that Democratic nominee Angie Paccione is "essentially tied" with Marilyn Musgrave.

And the Governing newsletter (among about 18 others) told me that Colorado is about to spend $14,000 a day on a special session to deal with an issue our Democratic legislature already dealt with. My personal feelings aside, I'm glad to see Dick Lamm and Federico Pena playing nice. From The Denver Post:

The compromise, modeled after a Georgia law, blends aspects of the proposed constitutional amendment that was wiped off the November ballot earlier this month by the Colorado Supreme Court and a Democratic-backed proposal to get tougher on employers who don't verify the legal status of their workers.

After wading through all that, I found an email with a link to the new site Bob is Lost. It's almost funny enough to make checking my email worthwhile.

Herb Rubenstein is Colorado's ticket to ending the war in Iraq. I think that Herb's pledge to pull out troops within the next year displays his dedication, commitment, and ambitions. People want change. Herb represents change. He is not backed by the establishment like his two Democratic opponents and the Republican. He is going to be a force in Colorado politics and his surge in popularity over the past six months shows that he will be a force sooner rather than later. We need more people like Herb!

I've had the distinct pleasure of watching a debate between all the democratic CD7 candidates, and I must say I took a particular liking to Herb Rubenstein. Frankly I had never cared to research him and had barely heard much about him in this race, but I am glad I was able to discover him for myself because he blew me away with his strong viewpoints, eloquent speaking skills, and intelligent responses. Get the name Herb Rubenstein out there, I want to see him in Congress!

Agreed. Everyone should go to www.herbforcongress.com and check this guy out. His platform isn't half bad, in fact it's rather intelligent.
