The last 24 hours have seen a story about GOP House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s initial reaction to the violent insurrection on January 6th, 2021, in which McCarthy at least for a while placed the blame squarely on ex-President Donald Trump and allegedly promised colleagues he would urge Trump to resign, explode into a major […]
Blockbuster allegations coming to light today in the New York Times that could shake apart the fragile peace between Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and the fractious crew he’d like to continue leading as Speaker of the House in 2023 if Republicans prevail this November–but more likely not after ex-President Donald Trump and the […]
When Republican candidate for governor Heidi Ganahl’s first campaign manager Tiffany Coolidge resigned from the campaign barely a month after the campaign kicked off, it was an early and foreboding sign that things were not going well. Since then, Ganahl has continued to flounder while trying and failing to shake a determined primary challenge from […]
Republican candidates for Congress in the new CO-08 got together last Thursday for a debate/forum at KHNC radio in Johnstown, so we decided to listen in and peck out another of our world famous “Debate Diaries.” The forum was sponsored by a group called the Youth Federalist Initiative (YFI), which touts itself as some sort […]
Republican Congressman Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina is not very good at not talking when he shouldn’t be talking. It is a trait he shares with many of his fellow Qaucus members in the House of Representatives, including Colorado’s own Rep. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert (R-ifle). Last week Cawthorn got blasted on social media for taking […]

When you have been in an accident, you will need an attorney to represent you. Selecting the right lawyer for your car accident case can be complicated, but it doesn’t have to be. The following article provides information on common scenarios requiring legal assistance after a car accident, which will help you decide what course of action […]
In the year 2020, over 38,000 people were killed on roadways in America. Unfortunately, this number has been increasing steadily for years. As for non-fatal car crashes, about 2.28 million people sustained injuries in an accident. Most of these crashes were caused by excessive speeding, not using a seatbelt and driving drunk. Some of these […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: The response from Heidi Ganahl’s communications director Lexi Swearingen is one for the books: She never said she spoke or appeared. So what you’re saying is, she literally phoned it in! That’s sure to go over well with Greg Lopez and the crowd who waited for hours to testify. Another unforced error from […]
The three Republican candidates for Governor got together for a candidate forum in Douglas County on Tuesday. You know what that means – it’s time for another Debate Diary!!! On Tuesday, March 8, Hiedi Heidi Ganahl, Greg Lopez, and Danielle Neuschwanger took center stage at The Lone Tree Hub for a candidate forum moderated by […]
We wrote last week about the ridiculous Republican retread ticket in Jefferson County, where proven political losers such as Don Rosier, Libby Szabo, and Vicki Pyne are taking another shot at public office in Jefferson County government. We often say that the Republican bench in Colorado is basically a phone booth, but even so…is this […]
We’ve said many times in this space that the Republican bench in Colorado is basically a phone booth. For years, the Colorado GOP has had a hell of a time trying to find decent candidates for any number of important races. Things are as bad for Republicans in 2022 as they have ever been; the […]
Republicans in the new seventh congressional district seem to be pinning their 2022 hopes on an economist named Tim Reichert as the likely challenger to State Sen. Brittany Pettersen (D-Lakewood) in the battle for the seat being vacated by the retiring Rep. Ed Perlmutter. There are other Republicans in the CO-07 field, including Laurel Imer […]
The Republican candidates for U.S. Senate got together last Thursday night in Weld County for another Election Year forum about issues and conspiracy theories. We couldn’t resist following along with another Debate Diary (click here for last month’s Debate Diary from the Senate forum in Lakewood). Eight candidates sat shoulder-to-shoulder behind a long table at […]
The Republican candidates for U.S. Senate met on Tuesday evening (Jan. 25) for a candidate forum at Colorado Christian University in Lakewood. The forum was moderated by State Republican Party Chairwoman Kristi Burton Brown and Republican political operative Michael Fields, who is presented as the “President of Advance Colorado Institute,” whatever that means. Lakewood, BTW, […]
The 2022 session of the Colorado General Assembly kicked off earlier this month, and before the opening gavel even sounded the Republican mini-minority in the House signaled that the session was not going to be characterized by bipartisan good will. Hosted by Denver talk radio junior varsity commentator Jimmy Sengenberger for a pre-session interview, House […]
Colorado Republicans held a press conference at the state capitol on Wednesday to unveil 40+ bills that they plan to introduce over the coming months as part of their 2022 legislative session agenda. Near the end of the press conference, State Rep. Mark Baisley (R-Highlands Ranch) strolled to the podium to talk about his upcoming […]
In a state like Colorado that leads the nation in voter participation as well as robust security to ensure the counting of ballots and verification of eligibility is accurate, Republicans face a huge disconnect between their article-of-faith belief (vigorously enforced by the ex-President) that the 2020 presidential election was stolen versus the uncontroversial reality Colorado […]
On December 30, 2020, we wrote about Republican Rep.-elect Lauren Boebert’s meteoric rise from unknown slinger of undercooked pork products in Garfield County to election to Congress on a high-energy low-information pro-Donald Trump platform spiced with a dash of the then-prevalent “QAnon” conspiracy theory: Sneaking past Tipton’s somnolent re-election campaign to a ten-point primary victory, […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) A year after the nation survived its first-ever insurrection, federal law enforcement has so far arrested twelve Coloradans for their participation. While prosecutors are focusing on bringing charges against the most serious offenders, such as those suspects who assaulted police, vandalized federal property, and entered the House itself, it’s worth keeping […]
The office of Governor was an open seat in 2018, which prompted several candidates on both sides of the political aisle to take a shot at the top job in the state. After a fairly anticlimactic Primary Election — on both sides — Democrat Jared Polis went on to defeat listless Republican Walker Stapleton by […]
Via reporter Heidi Beedle of the Colorado Springs Independent, we find Joe Oltmann of FEC United, Colorado’s leading promulgator of election conspiracy nuttery and armed militia-backed infiltration of the Colorado Republican Party, in a pickle that you should just read so we don’t have to explain it: There’s a lot here, including what seems to be […]

UPDATE: Colorado Newsline’s Sara Wilson: “I could go into the thousands of phone calls and text messages and emails from people throughout the district that have reached out to me to take a look at it,” Coram said in an interview. “The fact is I have a very solid record as a moderate who is […]
We’ve been meaning to take note of an interesting bit of Republican consultant recycling taking place in Pennsylvania in the 2022 election cycle. As you may have seen, Mehmet Oz, better known as celebrity television physician “Dr. Oz,” is seeking the Republican nomination for a U.S. Senate seat in Pennsylvania next year (a state in which […]
