Hey everyone, thanks as always for reading Mile High Politics -- hello especially to readers of the Rocky Mountain Independent!
I just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that things will really start to take off at Mile High Politics beginning next week. That's when I return from vacation (from unseasonably cool Chicago) and the entire site will get a much-needed makeover.
I'll certainly be posting in the meantime, but make sure to check out and bookmark Mile High Politics starting next week! As always, feedback and comments via e-mail are always appreciated.
Hope everyone had a great Fourth of July weekend!

The future of Mile High Politics

And We're Back!
After a break of a few months to blog for 5280 Magazine, Mile High Politics is back!
Colorado is on the brink of summer (though it might be hard to tell with all the rain in Denver for the past month). And this summer is the time that all the big backroom decisions are being made for 2010 -- who's going to run, who's going to work for whom, and who's going to cajole and pressure the competition out.
And the stakes are pretty high. Next year's winners will help oversee legislative redistricting -- and if Democrats stay in control, they'll more than likely redraw the map to help cement their startling gains in Colorado over the past few years. Plus, both Gov. Bill Ritter and U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet are -- at least on paper -- fairly vulnerable.
So thanks for reading, and check back often for the latest non-partisan coverage of Colorado politics!
