On Thursday (Feb. 11), the University of Denver (DU) College Republicans wrangled 7 of the 13(?) candidates for the first Republican Senate debate of the cycle.

Discussion continues to swirl about a pre-debate rally for Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump in Las Vegas Monday, where an ugly demonstration of the lowest common denominator of contemporary American politics played out for all to see–Buzzfeed’s McKay Coppins: A zealous chorus of boos filled the room, while the two protesters brandished a homemade poster (“NO […]

UPDATE: Maybe you’ve never heard of Peggy Littleton, but Rep. Gordon “Dr. Chaps” Klingenschmitt has! Chaps recorded a full-episode interview with Littleton in 2013 on the evils of then-Sen. Evie Hudak and the Common Core education standards. You can watch the whole interview, but here’s the money quote of Littleton denouncing Hudak’s vote for the […]
We’re a tad late to this here party, but we decided that we couldn’t just skip the “Junior Varsity” debate tonight, or as it should be re-named, “The Less-Than-One Percenters” debate. Let’s fire up the Colorado Pols Debate Diary once again. *NOTE: The most current update appears at the top of the page. As always, unless it is in […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Methane is a greenhouse gas some 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide. It is a pollutant when released into the atmosphere, often a precursor to ozone, and is itself a volatile compound that may signal a threat of area toxicity depending what other compounds are present in the gas. It […]
UPDATE: AP via the Colorado Springs Gazette—it looks like Advancing Colorado was fudging their buy number for dramatic effect, as if the ad wasn’t enough melodrama: “With Washington Republicans lacking an opponent in the Colorado Senate race, it comes as no surprise that a secretly funded group with ties to the billionaire Koch brothers is […]

UPDATE: The Fort Collins Coloradoan’s Jason Pohl reports some additional details today that both shed some light on the story and raise more questions–and either way, don’t make Cory Gardner’s hair-raising speculation via press release any more justifiable: A woman called Fort Collins Police Services on May 24 to report “two unknown Middle Eastern males” had approached her […]
UPDATE: Lynn Bartels of the Denver Post updates this story, which includes a Colorado Pols mention: ProgressNow — and, privately, some Republicans — have jumped on the mistake Brauchler made last week when he tweeted during the trial, although the judge had been clear not to do so. Three jurors have been replaced in connection […]
Sure, they suck, so there’s that. Sucking less than the other guys is just so disappointing. And a little frightening. My elder son is a socialist, he understands what it means but he also understands why “burn more coal!” is a recipe for not good. What he is only just starting to understand is why […]
