I don’t have too much time here, as I’m about to step out to see a movie, but just wanted to point you toward some good news for our man in Denver, Dr. Mike Fallon.

Comes word from Joshua Sharf over at View From a Height of a poll in Colorado’s First CD that has the good doctor showing better than anybody ever has against that one lady, and that she is actually polling below 50%. (One note of caution, as Josh mentions, this is a Republican poll, so we shouldn’t get too carried away just yet.)

Now is a great time to show what a surge can do. I invite you all to visit Mike’s website, donate money, or volunteer.

We’ve NEVER been this close in CO-1. Help us make it happen!

Things must be going well for Republicans this year. While I know how great a campaigner Dr. Mike Fallon is, and how much he deserves more national support, I was resigned to the likelihood that the big-wigs of the Republican party were writing off (as they do every year, stretching back to the tenure of that other hag) Colorado’s First Congressional District in 2010.

Lo and behold, news comes this week that the National Republican Congressional Committee has added Mike to its “On The Radar” list. As Mike’s press release states, this is a good indication that the national party believes “that the traditionally Democratic district in Denver may be more competitive than expected.”

In fact, Diana DeGette, who feels she owns the seat, is even using this great news to try to drum up fund-raising support of her own.

This can only mean good things for us. And no better time for all of us to help this excellent candidate by volunteering, or if you don’t live in CO-1, contributing as best you can.

Way to go, Mike!

This morning I had the pleasure of joining CO-1 Congressional candidate Dr. Mike Fallon, his two kids, mother, and some members of Denver’s LCR chapter at Denver’s AIDS walk. No sign of Diana DeGette. Maybe she heard he’d be there (she has a tendency to avoid those who don’t agree with her—like, for example, her constituents).

Mike’s a great candidate, and as we witnessed earlier this summer when he joined me campaigning at Denver Pride, he is incredibly comfortable and welcoming among gays and lesbians. His platform of reform and individual liberty and responsibilities should resonate not only with gays and lesbians, but all Americans who want government out of our lives (seems I recall that was something we used to want, no?).

Had a great time walking with Mike. I invite and encourage you to forward your support and even volunteer to help Mike “Cure Congress” this fall if you’re a Denverite, or to make friends of yours who live here aware of him as getting above the din of our other higher-profile races in Colorado is a challenge this year.

Here’s something you don’t see every day:

Yes, that’s Mike Fallon, MD*, campaiging today at the Denver Pride Fest. Yes. A straight Republican at the Pride Fest. Word has it DeGette was somewhere around, but I didn’t see her anywhere; and Jared had his own booth (likely, I surmised, he actually owns that section of the actual street). I and a few of my friends walked with Mike and a top campaign worker of his around Civic Center for about two hours and stopped to hand out information and Mike answered questions and spoke to anybody who was around.

I was hopeful about his campaign until I spent this extended time with him one-on-one. Now, I’m electric about it. From our talk (as we dodged dudes in thongs and shouldn’t-be-but-were-topless old out-of-shape gals), here’s some stuff straight (as it were) from the horse’s mouth:

I just got back from a late breakfast with a representative of Mike Fallon, who’s running this year in my home district of CO-1 (Denver). We had a wide-ranging discussion about policies and what it’s going to take to get our Nation back on track.

I am convinced that Mike is the right choice to represent this district in Congress and am proud to endorse him and ask you to join me in contributing to his campaign and contacting your friends and relatives in Colorado’s First Congressional District and asking them to vote for him.

Mike is an emergency room surgeon who knows all too well the upcoming negative repercussions of the SoHCA2010 and has made its repeal his first and foremost goal if elected. His agenda, which he calls his “Cure For Congress”, is centered around fiscal sanity, shrinking the size and cost of government, and fostering a more receptive atmosphere for small business (he’s a businessman himself). He sums it up as: “Healthy people, a healthy economy, and a healthy government make a strong country.”

Having met Mike and his family, I can tell you, he’s the real deal. He’s charismatic, attractive, totally genuine, and ultimately electable. I’m not exaggerating when I say, think Scott Brown.

Mike is not a politician and is utterly approachable. I think these characteristics will ultimately do him very much good in this cosmopolitan yet Western pull-no-punches district. Need more incentive? He’s running to unseat ultra-Left bazillion-term Pelosi lackey and Deputy Majority Whip Diana DeGette, the only woman who could live up to Pat Schroeder’s embarrassing legacy of profligate spending, disrespect for life, and disdain for liberty. And she’s been doing it for over a dozen years. It’s beyond time to retire her.

That such a great candidate has come along in Mike Fallon only proves the providence of this time in Colorado politics. Please join with me in doing whatever you can to help make Mike one of dozens of Republicans to unseat undeserving Democrats in the 112th Congress.
