We’ve occasionally taken time in this space to discuss the completely absurd editorial board of The Colorado Springs Gazette, which is basically the newspaper version of your drunk uncle at Thanksgiving. In fact, we wrote about the Gazette editorial board just a few weeks ago after it vomited out an opinion titled: “Should we save all […]
One of the big political stories of 2019 in Colorado centered around the completely disastrous attempts by right-wing Republicans to “recall” Democratic lawmakers from office. Angry Facebook groups morphed into angry recall “organizations” that did a decent job of stealing people’s money but had more trouble accomplishing their stated goals; various recall groups tried and failed […]

Colorado Public Radio’s Taylor Allen reports from yesterday’s well-deserved “victory lap” press conference by Senate President Leroy Garcia, after the recall campaign against him collapsed in a heap at the end of last week: Colorado Senate President Leroy Garcia on Thursday said he’s looking forward to the new legislative session — especially after surviving a […]

THURSDAY UPDATE: The Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports: “Typical front ranger way of looking at things … you come up with something that is fake with the idea of defeating West Slope water projects so we are forced to send more water to the Front Range,” wrote Soper, who later deleted his own comment. […]
As Roll Call reports, the Senate today voted once again to reject President Trump’s “emergency declaration” for border wall money, though it is a largely symbolic move since there aren’t enough votes in the Senate to override a promised Presidential veto: Eleven Republicans joined 43 Democrats in support of ending the emergency declaration, which allowed […]
(“You shall make no idols.” Love ya, irony! — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Groups on the religious right in Colorado have long pushed Republicans to embrace the Ten Commandments–and insert them in public life. The issue used to pop up in candidate questionnaires, like this one in 2010 from the Christian Family Alliance of Colorado, […]
The Colorado Avalanche are looking for force a Game 7 with a win over the San Jose Sharks tonight at Pepsi Center; on Tuesday the Denver Nuggets return home try to take a 3-2 series lead over the Portland Trailblazers. It’s time “Get More Smarter.” If you think we missed something important, please include the […]
TUESDAY UPDATE: The internet is forever, folks–as Constellation Political is learning belatedly: You’re welcome (see below). —– UPDATE: David O. Williams picks up the thread for RealVail.com: Eagle County is indeed a very blue county these days, with Sheriff James van Beek the only elected member of the GOP currently serving. Still, that clearly won’t […]
State Senator Vicki Marble (R-Broomfield) made quite the spectacle of herself over the weekend when she appeared to threaten 9News reporter Kyle Clark for having the audacity to inquire about an interview on the subject of her enthusiasm for another secession movement in Colorado. Marble’s thinly-veiled threats were picked up nationally by outlets like Newsweek, yet […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) During a radio interview yesterday, one of the state’s most partisan Republican radio hosts essentially begged State Rep. Lori Saine (R-Firestone) to walk back her statement at the Capitol last week that blacks and whites were once lynched in “almost equal numbers.” But Saine didn’t take the hint. First, KNUS 710-AM […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) 2018 – The Year Climate Change Would Not Be Ignored 2018 was a notable year in regards to climate change. For one, a reporter at Colorado’s new news venture The Sun (also 2018) got our junior senator to comment on the record. Coming across a bit annoyed–perhaps–by the fact that […]

Roll Call reports, Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado is officially handing off chairmanship of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) after Senate GOP leadership elections this morning: Sen. Todd Young was elected on Wednesday to be the next chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, a much more difficult cycle for incumbent protection on the […]
Huffpost reports on the angry crossfire in Florida as the races for governor and U.S. Senator head toward a recount: Florida Gov. Rick Scott suggested there was “rampant fraud” and called for law enforcement to investigate two counties over their election practices as the Republican’s lead in the state’s U.S. Senate race continued to shrink […]

UPDATE: You can add the Associated Press to the list. —– This past weekend, a new ad from a “dark money” group called Colorado Citizens for Truth his Colorado screens backed by a $700,000 buy. The new group’s agent is Katie Kennedy, also the registered agent for Stapleton for Colorado, Walker Stapleton’s SuperPAC Better Colorado […]
UPDATE: Local conservative commentator Ari Armstrong calls out Republicans: This is really a shameful Tweet, @COHouseGOP. a) Polis's name change had nothing to do with this. b) The appropriate officials scrutinized him and determined him to be the victim of an attempted crime. If you can't be better than this you deserve to lose. https://t.co/9oIyLeiPAn […]
Republican gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton has been running into one problem after another since winning the June 26 Republican Primary, and now he’s going to have to figure out a way to explain some pretty terrible fundraising numbers. Democrat Jared Polis reported raising $1,632,021 in the last month, leaving his campaign with $1,268,081 cash on hand. Most of this […]
The kids are not alright. They are, however, right on. Last Wednesday, thousands of high school students across Colorado—and across America—walked out of class to protest the lack of action to stop mass shootings like the one in Parkland, Florida last month. Despite the ever-growing toll from mass shootings in the United States, once again […]
Burgess Everett of Politico picks up on a theme we’ve visited time and again here on Colorado Pols: It’s no fun to be Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma). Take a look at what Everett has to say in a story subtitled “The lonely existence of Cory Gardner”: Senate Republican campaigns chief Cory Gardner might’ve had the easiest job in Washington — if only […]
(Yeah, yeah, it’s January 10th. At least we finished this — Colorado Pols) How bad was 2017 for Cory Gardner? Consider this: When Gardner materialized in the Philippines in June glad-handing a murderous dictator, it wasn’t even the low point of his year. The biggest Colorado political story of 2017 was the slow-motion destruction of […]
Jason Crow: No Friend of Organized Labor I’ve noticed that Jason likes to tout his endorsements from organized labor. Do these endorsements from professional trade unions reflect the rank and file or is it more of the failed political calculus that keeps America from moving forward? Take a look at Crow’s positions and imagine yourself […]
