Reporter Allison Sherry of the major Denver newspaper is out today with a story you knew was coming sooner or later: GOP Senate candidate Ken Buck has officially abandoned Amendment 62, the so-called “personhood amendment,” claiming he ‘did not understand’ that it might actually ban certain forms of birth control. Having given the measure his […]
The Grand Junction Sentinel talks with 2006 GOP gubernatorial candidate “Both Ways” Bob Beauprez (see photo) about his new book, “A Return to Values: A Conservative Looks at His Party.” The Daily Sentinel: In the book, you say, “It is time for a revolution, and Republican principles must lead it.” However, the principles you cited […]
(ACP) – Governor Bill Ritter, thanking Colorado Republicans for their support in the ongoing war to liberate Utah, today appointed former Congressman Bob Beauprez as special envoy to the Colorado Provisional Authority government in Salt Lake City. Beauprez’s unique ability to understand both sides of any contentious issue made him an ideal choice, Ritter spokesman […]
This morning’s Denver Post begins the Bob Beauprez post-mortem: a long process, since everything that could have gone wrong for him more or less…did. Often there is a moment in time that, viewed in retrospect, reveals where things went wrong. In the case of Bob Beauprez’s gubernatorial bid, however, the moments were legion. Political professionals […]
The Sunday Denver Post published a puff piece on its favorite candidate for governor, Bill Ritter, who, it turns out, favors gay unions, if not gay marriage, and embryonic stem cell research, if not abortion. Those tidbits were buried at the end of the two-page article, which means less than 10% of readers ever saw […]
One month from tomorrow, a Northern Colorado Republican group will host a candidate forum featuring 15 people seeking the GOP nomination for Governor in 2026. We only recognize about half of the names advertised for the October 18th event, but they all have one thing in common… None of them are going to be the […]
Colorado’s hottest congressional race in 2024 once again will be the fight for Democrats to defend the evenly-divided CO-08 seat held by incumbent Rep. Yadira Caraveo from who is expected to be the winner of the Republican primary, freshman state Rep. Gabe Evans. Although Rep. Evans is expected to win the primary election one week […]

Now that the 2022 election is behind us (most of us, anyway), there are a number of questions to be answered. Chief among them: Just how historically bad was Hiedi Heidi Ganahl’s campaign for Governor? Bad. Really, really bad. Like, all-time bad. In fact, we’d say that Ganahl has dethroned Bob Beauprez as the single […]
Earlier this year we posted a bracket-style look at the worst major political campaigns in the last two decades in Colorado. The Winningest Loser in our bracket was Republican Bob Beauprez’s disastrous campaign for Governor in 2006, but we noted at the time that 2022 Republican gubernatorial nominee Hiedi Heidi Ganahl was making a run […]
As readers know, Colorado Republicans are furiously sounding the alarm over ads running ahead of the June 28th primary attacking Republican candidates for U.S. Senate and governor Ron Hanks and Greg Lopez. Republican strategists interpret these ads as an attempt to boost what they consider to be the undesirable candidate in the race–in the process […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) One funny side effect of congressional candidate Lauren Boebert’s rise to fame is that she makes other Republican Party candidates in Colorado look awful–at least in the eyes of conservative hardliners who must vote nonstop if Cory Gardner has a prayer to win in November. Don’t take it from me. Hear […]
As the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has thrown the gross incompetence of President Donald Trump and the non-career professional side of his administration into harsh relief, along with the Republican political establishment that enabled and continues to prop up Trump through his daily displays of embarrassing ignorance, Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado has taken a terrible […]

Walker Stapleton will almost certainly be the Republican nominee for Governor. This is almost certainly not great news for Colorado Republicans. We’re just days away from the June 26 Primary, and the overwhelming favorite for the GOP gubernatorial nomination is running a campaign that has Republican observers positively terrified. “I’m starting to worry that Bill […]

In 2015, Republicans retook control of the Colorado Senate for the first time since 2004. This impressive-sounding feat is tempered by the reality that their control of the chamber was won by a single seat, in a race decided by well under 1,000 votes. In 2010, the GOP wrested control of the Colorado House from […]
As reported by the Colorado Springs Independent last week, another major Republican insider-run “grassroots” advocacy group is attacking former Republican state attorney general-cum-Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers, who as our readers know had the temerity to ask the conservative voters of Colorado Springs for–gasp–a tax increase to fix that conservative bastion’s famously crappy roads: IACE Action – […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The Ft. Collins Coloradoan advanced a story Monday that Boulder Rep. KC Becker is working on a bill to provide $5 million for a state teen-pregnancy prevention program that, in a privately-funded multi-year pilot phase, reduced teen pregnancies by 40 percent and teen abortions by 35 percent–and saved Colorado tens of millions of dollars […]
