All the GOP candidates in Denver lost again Tuesday.
Here are the vote totals for the Colorado House District races
(I ran for House District 5).

My question to you, friends who care enough to read this blog,
is "what do I do next"?

Your comments to me via email to me at JohnSWren@aol.com
would be appreciated.

I'll post a summary here in the next day or so with my goals for
2006-- as of this moment it is to seek the GOP nomination again for
Colorado House District 5, here in the Heart of Denver.

So the question is, what do we do next?

I got an email

When (R) Loves (D), There's No Room for 'I' (washingtonpost.com): "bipartisan couples aren't common, says Lindon J. Eaves, a professor at Virginia Commonwealth University who studies human behavior. 'If you look at spouses for social attitudes,' he says, 'on the whole they tend to be fairly significantly alike.' In fact, social attitudes, which include political traits such as liberalism and conservatism, are much more important to people who are choosing mates than physical appearance or personality traits such as extroversion or neuroticism. "

A Catholic Votes for George W. Bush by George Weigel , America: The Catholic Weekly Magazine: "Democracy and the market are not machines that can run by themselves. If free politics and free economics are going to promote genuine human flourishing, the tremendous energies they set loose have to be tempered and directed by a vibrant public moral culture. The culture is the key to the entire edifice. A culture that teaches freedom-as-license is going to wreck democracy and the free economy, sooner or later. A culture capable of sustaining the high adventure of democracy over time is a culture that teaches and celebrates freedom for excellence and freedom as the way we choose the good as a matter of habit."

The New York Times > Business > Your Money > Is Kaiser the Future of American Health Care?: " 'To have a real market for quality in health care, you need a product,' Mr. Halvorson said. 'And that means reliable, timely information about outcomes, clinical-trial sorts of databases that show things like, for example, 50-year-olds in our system have fewer heart attacks.
'With the right information and the right incentives,' he added, 'capitalism creates very good solutions.' " George Halvorson, CEO, Kaiser
