WEDNESDAY UPDATE #3: Here's the video of what we can only describe as a rambling and not very apologetic Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman this morning, addressing his wrongheaded outburst yesterday against Senate President Morgan Carroll: We're not sure what he's trying to say, but based on what we already know (below), it's fairly ridiculous. This is when […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) By Bob Ewegen Former state rep. and U.S. Rep. Mike Strang – a “Little country boy from Princeton” who helped transform Coloradans attitudes toward their land and its legacy – died Sunday at his home in Carbondale at the age of 84. An Associated Press obituary focused […]
Last Tuesday, we took note of a spoof story on a satire "news site," The National Report, hilariously breaking the scandalous news of food stamps being accepted at Colorado's new retail marijuana stores: “If you are a tax payer in Colorado, you get to pay for welfare recipients, a majority of whom are Democrats of course, to […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Senator Mark Udall has been one of the most consistent critics of the NSA and CIA over the NSA's spying, the CIA's torture policies, and various other national security issues. This is a good thing and anyone would agree it's difficult to criticize a National Security Establishment that is more costly and more […]
(Another good reporter gone – promoted by Colorado Pols) Investigative and legislative reporter Patrick Malone leaves the Fort Collins Coloradoan Friday for a job at The Santa Fe New Mexican, giving us another reason to grieve for the state of journalism in Colorado. After starting his journalism career at the Chronicle News in Trinidad, Malone […]
The 2012 election cycle was the first in a decade in Colorado that did not feature a major statewide race on the ballot (not including President, of course), which left many potential candidates for higher office cooling their heels for an extra two years. Combine that with the success of Democratic candidates in recent years; […]
A press release from health care advocacy group Protect Your Care Colorado that you'll find curious to say the least: Even as ads and right-wing OpEds are running praising Representative Mike Coffman for opposing Obamacare, and as Congressman Cory Gardner rails against it on television, their offices are helpfully referring constituents to Colorado’s marketplace, connectforhealthco.com, […]
(Kind of ridiculous – promoted by Colorado Pols) KNUS talk-radio host Peter Boyles has yet to acknowledge that a leader of the Hudak-recall effort, Mike McAlpine, during an appearance on Boyles' show, referred to pro-Hudak protesters as Nazis. Boyles even attacked gun-safety activist Tom Mauser for saying, correctly, that McAlpine called Mauser a Nazi. I […]
The deadline for 3rd Quarter political donations is Monday, and while we likely won't start hearing about Q3 totals until mid-October, we can still look ahead at which candidates are under the most pressure to show a strong three months. Because of the holidays and the general lack of interest from non-politicos at such an […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Correction: An earlier version of this blog post stated that Debbie “Feeley” is on the list of people who are most detrimental to the Republican Party of Colorado. It is actually Debbie Healy, according to Sarah Arnold, who also told me she was not present at the GOP executive meeting last […]
(Where does it end? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Operating in a reality that few people understand, during a typical one-sided pile-on in support of the recall of Sen. John Morse, talk-radio host Peter Boyles takes calls from "Ray" and "Tom" on KNUS radio today. Both are contemplating voter fraud. And, in case you wonder […]
The above message is reportedly greeting the administrators of the Facebook pages for both Democratic Senators presently defending their seats in recall elections next Tuesday. They cannot post new content even to their personal Facebook pages, and new content posting on both campaign pages has been halted. Within the campaigns for Senate President John Morse and […]
If you’re one of the organizers of the strikes at Denver fast-food restaurants today, you got to be feeling pretty good about the media coverage. Unfortunately, worker demonstrations aren’t normally hot news items, unless it’s an NFL players’ strike or something, but today’s walkouts at MacDonald’s, Subway, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell were a media […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE: Today, August 15, 2013, the Colorado Supreme Court denied an appeal to McGahey’s previous ruling. County Clerk and Recorder Gilbert “Bo” Ortiz had appealed to the court to not allow the Libertarian candidates extra time (until August 26) to get on the recall ballots as “successor” candidates. By a vote of […]
As the Fort Collins Coloradoan's Patrick Malone reports: Domestic spying practices top the list of reasons that Fort Collins’ representative in Congress says U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder should go. “I would be very happy to see him leave,” U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo., told the Fort Collins Coloradoan on Wednesday. The federal government’s wiretapping […]
You might have missed the news last week that Colorado Supreme Court Chief Justice Michael L. Bender will retire from the bench, effective Jan. 7, 2014 (full press release after the jump). Bender's retirement, mandated by the Colorado Constitution because Jan. 7 is Bender's 72nd birthday, puts Gov. John Hickenlooper in an important position this […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) POLS UPDATE: El Paso County conservative activist Sarah Arnold weighs in: When will the El Paso County Republican Party learn to stop meddling in primaries (which, for all intents and purposes, this is)? Just because you make it public knowledge doesn’t make it any less “backroom” and “smoke-filled”. Those who collected […]
PCG note: The live stream of the attempted re-entry has ended, but the post contains some helpful numbers to call to advocate for the DREAMers' safe re-entry. Several days back 8 DREAMers left the country to bring attention to the CIR bill's failure to provide adequate opportunities to allow those who have been deported under Obama to […]
Democrat Pat Quinn, who surprised political observers by jumping into the State Treasurer race earlier this month (on the same day that Democrat Betsy Markey announced her candidacy) took another unusual step today. This morning Quinn released the full results of a statewide poll that, spin from the campaign aside, really aren't all that favorable […]
The second half of Quinnipiac University's polling of Colorado out today, via National Journal: In a new Quinnipiac University poll filled with bad trends for Gov. John Hickenlooper, poor ratings for President Obama, and lackluster early numbers for 2016 Democratic presidential contenders, Sen. Mark Udall's, D-Colo., approval ratings stand out as a possible bright spot for […]
UPDATE: Today's statement from Sen. Mark Udall: "The government's collection of millions of Americans' phone records is the type of surveillance I have long said would shock the public if they knew about it. We must strike the right balance between keeping Americans safe and protecting constitutional rights. As the leaders of the Senate Intelligence […]
There are 65 members of the Colorado House of Representatives, and 35 members of the Colorado State Senate. The Colorado legislature as a whole is a representative body, with each Senator representing about 143,691 constituents, and each House member standing for 77,372 Coloradans. The Colorado Constitution outlines the makeup and duties of the state legislature, […]
(To protect, serve, and kowtow? Promoted by Colorado Pols) In 2010, when he was running for Sheriff of Larimer County, Justin Smith answered a "candidate questionnaire" from Rocky Mountain Gun Owners. It posed 10 questions for candidates running for the office of sheriff, and it advised that "failure to answer this survey" would be viewed […]
(This is objectively cool – promoted by Colorado Pols) KOA’s Steffan Tubbs has become the leading media voice in Colorado for U.S. troops. Other local media figures cover the military, including Denver Post photographer Craig Walker, who won a Pulitzer in 2012, but Tubbs gives military personnel regular coverage, in different media platforms, and he […]
Earlier today, I posted about Dave Williams' extreme hostility toward the GBLT community, and the anti-gay bullying which led to Dave's impeachment as UCCS student body president. Yesterday, we covered Dave's disturbing, quasi-violent response to a request for an apology to the gay Army colonel he booed at the 2012 Republican state convention. Because Dave is so deeply committed to opposing homosexuality, one might assume he'd be […]
