The D.C. publication Roll Call has an interesting story today probing around about Republicans looking for their next statewide candidate to potentially challenge Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet in 2016, and it leads with the possibility that the GOP nominee may eventually have the last name of Coffman. But which one? Rep. Mike Coffman, or his […]
Colorado state agencies will be surprised to learn that answering questions posed by the Joint Budget Committee's staff and members in the state budget oversight process is optional. Colorado PERA administrators have manipulated the Colorado state budgetary process to avoid answering budget process questions posed by the members and/or staff of the Colorado Joint Budget […]
("Liberal media" strikes again! – Promoted by Colorado Pols) This has been sitting on my shelf for a while, but I thought I'd post it today because I love it so much when Denver radio-host Mike Rosen whines about how The Denver Post practices "agenda journalism" in favor of liberals. Rosen was sure The Post was in the pocket of […]
A new poll from local consultant outfit Strategies 360 offers a different look at the Colorado U.S. Senate and gubernatorial races, with a polling sample they consider to be more representative of the 2014 electorate in Colorado than most public polling we've seen–in particular, a more accurate sample of Latino voters. From their memo today: Strategies […]
The rollercoaster of polling results in Colorado has been of the more prominent stories of the 2014 election cycle, and it is a story we would expect to see many media outlets revisit once Election Day has finally come and gone. Polling results for various races have been all over the map in the last […]
A press release from Sen. Mark Udall's campaign today announces a new, positive TV spot highlighting Udall's long fight against the National Security Agency's domestic surveillance powers over American citizens, the controversial USA PATRIOT Act, as well as abuses of power by the Central Intelligence Agency: Udall for Colorado today released its newest TV ad, “Freedom.” The 30-second […]
A new poll from (formerly) conservative-leaning pollster Rasmussen Reports has Democratic incumbent Gov. John Hickenlooper leading GOP challenger Bob Beauprez by four points as October heats up: In Colorado’s other contentious election, Democratic Governor John Hickenlooper has pulled slightly ahead of Republican challenger Bob Beauprez in his bid to keep his job. Hickenlooper now picks up […]
(Dance with the ones that bring ya – Promoted by Colorado Pols) I wrote last week about how senatorial candidate Cory Gardner’s support for Colorado's personhood abortion ban was part of his formula for winning the 2010 Republican caucus process, which was a big step to his being elected to Congress. If you look at […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Senator Gail Schwartz, who has rather tirelessly worked on behalf of Senate District 5 is term-limited, and the battle to replace her is considered one of the top races this cycle for control of the Colorado Senate. The contest is between Kerry Donavan, town councilor for Vail, and member of a […]
A lengthy press release and “research dump” this week from Sen. Mark Udall’s campaign highlights an issue that could prove damaging to GOP Senate candidate Cory Gardner with otherwise conservative-leaning constituencies–his co-authorship of 2008’s failed Amendment 52, which would have diverted mineral severance tax funding revenues away from water projects to road construction. Amendment 52 […]
(Reporters: time to ask the next question – Promoted by Colorado Pols) CORRECTION: At least two immigration-related bills cleared the GOP-controlled U.S. House this session, so I erred below in writing that none did. One responded to the crisis created by the young migrants crossing the border. It would have boosted border security, legal processing, […]
UPDATE 11:20AM: American Bridge now eagerly circulating what could be the defining moment of today's debate, in which GOP Rep. Mike Coffman forgets something very, very important about his position on abortion rights: Like we said, this will be in a TV spot very soon. Maybe more than one. —– It’s time to fire up the […]
We're at Colorado Christian University in Lakewood for Live Blog coverage of the GOP Gubernatorial Debate. We've got Bob Beauprez, Scott Gessler, and Mike Kopp battling it out once more. Tom Tancredo is not here, as expected. They're calling this "Women and Colorado's Future." *All comments are paraphrased unless in direct quotes. FINAL THOUGHTS This […]
UPDATE: The Colorado Independent takes a look at Rep. Cory Gardner and his political maneuvers around Obamacare, and includes a link to today's House Committee hearing in which Gardner tries desperately to get insurance executives to answer his questions in the most anti-Obamacare fashion possible. You can see from Gardner's five minutes of questioning below […]
The Hill's Alexandra Jaffe reports on the other new ad running in Colorado from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce: The Chamber of Commerce is launching a $3 million advertising campaign to boost preferred candidates and incumbents in 10 House races nationwide in its first major shift toward the general election. And in Colorado’s Senate race, […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Dear Chairman Call, I'm not your typical terrorist: a fifth-generation Coloradan, a Yuma County native and graduate of a small rural K-12 school, Idalia High School. Upon return from college I settled in Wray where I raised my three children. I was active in local activities – a founding member of […]
(Worth reading – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Dear Denver Post, I want you to know that you’re my favorite daily newspaper in Denver. OK, you’re the only daily newspaper, but you get where I’m coming from. You’re like family to me, because you’ve arrived at my front door and been in our home every day […]
With more and more ads implying that Coloradans lost their insurance under Obamacare, and senatorial candidate Cory Gardner saying directly that “335,000 Coloradans…lost their health insurance” thanks to Obamacare, it’s worth a trip to the archive to see if conservative bloggers agree with fact checkers, like 9News political reporter Brandon Rittiman, who noted that getting […]
(Warning: long) Many of the most densely populated portions of Congressional District 6 lie within the city of Aurora. My family and I moved near Mike Coffman's neighborhood in Aurora, CO 23 years ago from the midwestern college town where my husband received his PhD. When we moved into our first home, a rental, I was stunned […]
(Worse and worse – Promoted by Colorado Pols) The Colorado Independent has been investigating the circumstances that led to Nathaniel Marshall, a person with significant ties to white supremacism, to enter the race for Colorado HD-23. As an early result of that investigation, the Independent's John Tomasic reported yesterday that signs had emerged indicating that Tim Neville – […]
(How ingratiating – Promoted by Colorado Pols) I wrote a blog post a while back regurgitating rocker Ted Nugent's appearance on KNUS Peter Boyles' show, where Nugent said Colorado is the poster child of "moral dereliction" and the Republican Party has "no balls" because someone cut off "their scrotum with a rusty shiv.” Exciting stuff that […]
President Obama is preparing to act on the NSA spying controversy that has become a key issue for Sen. Mark Udall, who has been leading the charge for change. As CNN reports: President Barack Obama and congressional leaders said Tuesday they will propose changes to the National Security Agency that would end its sweeping collection […]
As Laura Hancock of the Casper Star-Tribune reports: Wyoming’s newest legislator stands by a book he wrote nearly 30 years ago that claims many gay people demand the right to have sex with children and people with AIDS should be quarantined if they continue having sex. The book is called “The Death Sentence of AIDS: […]
After having a field day last Friday with a dreadfully inaccurate health care story on the front page of the Denver Post by freelance reporter Arthur Kane, we woke up this Sunday morning expecting the next in a series of such "exposés," and another day ripping it into bite-size pieces with help from our astute fact-checking readers. Mr. […]
