Objectively, the word "moderate" does not come to mind if you look at the majority of Rep. MikeCoffman's record. There's no justification for journalists to label him as a "moderate."
If Republicans attack Andrew Romanoff on immigration, reporters should obviously spotlight Mike Coffman's own record on the issue.
There's a desperate quality to Mike Coffman's actions these days, typified by his No-Labels maneuver, and with any luck it will be fully dissected by reporters the 2014 election nears.
Now Coffman is saying he supports one of the DREAM Act's paths to citizenship (military enrollment) -- not the second path (high school or college graduation). So, he hasn't flipped on the DREAM Act. Based on his current positions, he'd vote against it again.
The picture of millions of "legal" immigrants with no voting rights gets ugly, doesn't it, when you start thinking about it in the context of those pesky American values, like democracy.

Reporters should cover events like the protest in Aurora this Saturday against extending tax cuts for the top two percent, and note the super rich weren't in the streets over this. What's up with them? Too busy? Embarrassed to put their faces out there?
It's great for the Denver Post to back comprehensive immigration reform and to criticize the GOP's half-baked proposals. But it should also spotlight the obstacles to real immigration reform here in Colorado.

In a good story, Associated Press reporter Ivan Moreno, discusses how the personhood amendment isn't on the Colorado ballot but it's nonetheless a big part of this year's election debate.
Somehow, the details of Mike Coffman's thinking on abortion -- why he's come to take such a hard-line stance -- have fallen through the journalistic cracks.
Rep. Mike Coffman stands alone as a major Colorado politician in close election who has not withdrawn his previous support for the personhood amendment, which would ban all abortion, even in the case of rape and incest.
One of the more memorable ads this election is the House Majority PAC's attack on Coffman for opposing embryonic stem cell research. In its Truth Test on this topic, 9News should have said more about the ramifications of Coffman's position.

Linked up with the others, Coffman and Coors could do considerable damage to medical research, women's rights, and the dreams of family for childless couples. Fortunately, democracy provides us a remedy. Remember in November!
Compared to the 2010 election in Colorado, this one has been mostly a snoozer, journalistically. Still, reporters have turned out some excellent work this time around, and I've listed my favorite reporting below.
Mike Coffman told The Denver Post that he will provide "very specific" answers to any question from his constituents. Here are a few questions for Coffman:
Coffman's summer "town hall meetings" appear to be private gatherings for small groups of employees at large corporations (Home Depot, LabCorp and Tyco Fire & Security). Not very town hallish.
When I think of a "town hall meeting," what does not come to mind is a private gathering for employees at big corporation or even a small corporation. Apparently Mike Coffman is re-inventing the term.
A liberal super PAC hoping to unseat some of the Tea Party's most beloved lawmakers added a new incumbent to its takedown list: Rep. Michele Bachmman ...
Why do righty talk-radio hosts love to sit there in silent acquiescence as their guests say that Social Security is nothing but a disaster?
As the personhood initiatives have come and gone in Colorado, we've seen the different reactions of politicians who endorse personhood. Will Rep. Paul Ryan, who supported personhood legislation in Congress, stand by his decision?
