The Aurora Sentinel’s Rachel Sapin reports on Morgan Carroll’s debut ad in the red-hot CD-6 race: Democratic challenger Morgan Carroll released her first television ad Wednesday in her 2016 campaign to win the congressional seat from incumbent Republican Mike Coffman. In the ad, the former state Senate president touted her personal accomplishments in an effort […]
UPDATE: The Washington Post tries to sort out the mishmash of claims in this ad without much success: Amateur hour: Trump’s new TV ad cites two contradictory tax plans — one that Trump has explicitly ruled out and another that he has yet to endorse — raising more questions about what policies the GOP nominee […]
Denver7’s Deb Stanley reports, get ready for a spit take: The Trump-Pence Colorado campaign is creating numerous coalitions in Colorado to target various group of voters. The coalitions include African Americans for Trump, Women for Trump, the Education/School choice coalition, the Sportsmen coalition, the Agricultural coalition and the Faith coalition… “These leaders are contributing valuable […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Sometimes it seems that a headline should be too obvious to write, a title too trite and true. The “Dog Bites Man” story. But there it is. And here we are–policy-wise–debating as if it is actually a question whether Colorado’s air quality is harmed by industrial development known to spew methane and volatile compounds. Such is the power […]
(Stay classy! – Promoted by Colorado Pols) In a Facebook post Wednesday, Adams County Republican chair John Sampson called Black Lives Matter “Punk Ass Bitches,” but in an interview the next day, he said he was only referring to those “who assault us, who burn, who loot, or who destroy property, because they’re having a […]
The United States is in a dark place at the moment: Rising gun violence. Mass shootings. Astonishingly vivid deaths of minorities at the hands of law enforcement officers. Targeted killings of police officers in Dallas. At the same time, we are in the midst of a Presidential campaign with a presumptive Republican nominee in Donald Trump who is often accused […]
(No, this is not good news for Republicans – Promoted by Colorado Pols) After Colorado Trump campaign director Patrick Davis said last week that Trump will rely on the “robust operations” of the Colorado Republican Party to mobilize voters leading up to November, a key county Republican chair said Saturday there’s no signs of any […]
A fascinating story from the Huffington Post about Republican congressional minor candidate Alex Beinstein. Beinstein’s primary run against incumbent GOP Rep. Scott Tipton didn’t count for much, but a subsequent exchange between himself and Colorado Republican Party chairman Steve House he revealed to the HuffPo could make Beinstein more famous than he ever was as a candidate: Alex […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Linda Sorenson took the advice of Delta County Sheriff Fred McKee and resigned last week as chair of the Delta County Republican Party. Sorenson has been embattled since she shared a Facebook meme, first reported on this very blog, comparing Obama to a Chimpanzee. Asked about the meme in May, Sorenson told me […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) It’s no surprise that Colorado Republican kingmaker Larry Mizel is a co-chair of today’s $10,000-per-couple lunch for GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump at the home of former Broncos’ coach Mike Shanahan. But it inspired me to check out a tipster’s suggestion that I lay out a public trail of evidence showing […]
(Yeesh, another one? Here? Seriously? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Otero County Republican chair Judy Rydberg Reyher says there’s no intended racism in her Facebook posts that appear to make sweeping unfavorable comments about African Americans, including, among other things, that African Americans are “hatred-filled beings” who are kept full of “hate and resentment” by […]
MONDAY UPDATE: CBS4 reports on some trouble at PrideFest yesterday despite all the security: Vanessa Martinez was waiting for the parade to start at Colfax Avenue and Grant Street when she says a man, yelling profanities, threatened her daughters with gun violence. “Of course I’m going to protect them,” Vanessa Martinez said. “I jumped in […]

But he did not call for Sorenson’s resignation. ——————- The Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports today that not only is the NAACP calling for the resignation of Delta County Republican Chair Linda […]
A press release we just received from NAACP’s Colorado Wyoming Montana State Conference calls for the immediate resignation of Delta County Republican Party chairwoman Linda Sorenson, who is facing growing condemnation after her office denied racist Facebook postings she had previously admitted to: “There is no room in Colorado politics for the kind of blatant racism expressed […]
(Lookit all the hacking! – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Delta County (Colorado) GOP chair Linda Sorenson, who’s been the focus of national media attention after sharing a racist Facebook meme comparing Obama to a Chimpanzee, has apparently shared or “liked” material in the same vein in the past, including Facebook posts in support of the […]
(The stupid, it burns! – Promoted by Colorado Pols) In the wake of a Republican U.S. Senate candidate’s denunciation of a racist Facebook meme shared on the personal Facebook page of GOP County Chair Linda Sorenson, Delta County Republicans are saying a hacker is responsible for the post , contradicting Sorenson, who has taken responsibility for it last […]
(The ghost of “Coffmangate” – Promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE: GOP Executive Director Shana Banberger responds: “Mrs. Porter has explicitly declared herself to be a member of the media and has been acting in that capacity for more than a year. After consulting state party and RNC rules we determined that should Mrs. Porter wish […]
(Stay classy – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Delta County Republican Chair Linda Sorenson shared an image on her Facebook page last week depicting Ronald Reagan nursing a chimpanzee. The photo is sandwiched by the phrase, “I’ll be damned… Reagan used to babysit Obama.” Sorenson told me in a very brief phone interview today that it […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado GOP State Chair Steve House fired back at Donald Trump’s presidential campaign yeseterday, saying campaign staffers know they were treated “fairly” in Colorado, but are attacking state Republicans anyway because they want to advance a “narrative” that “typical politics” is “unfair and improper.” “Alan, [Colorado Trump Campaign Director] Patrick [Davis], […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Trump won in South Carolina because GOP primary voters were angry at establishment Republicans for “submitting to the leftist, racist political correctness and removing the confederate flag without discussion,” according to Anil Mathai, the chair of the Adams County Republican Party. Mathai: “People are totally missing what happened tonight in South […]
As Colorado’s political class continues to figure out what to make of Initiative 107, the product of out-of-work legislators and political operatives to “reform” the state’s redistricting and reapportionment process ahead of the 2020 census, the chairman of the Colorado Reapportionment Commission from 2011, unaffiliated voter Mario Carrera, released a statement this morning panning the new […]
