Republican groups like The Christian Coalition have been busy beating up on other Republicans as the primary approaches, and some of their methods have been dubious at best. As the Rocky Mountain News reports: The Christian Coalition of Colorado claims that Rep. Dale Hall, a candidate for the state Senate, once voted for a bill […]
Opened the New York Times on Monday and, surprise, there’s a picture of Colorado’s very own junior senator… in Connecticut, campaigning in the Democratic primary on behalf of Joe Lieberman. For Lieberman, doubtless this was better than a rerun of GWBush planting a big kiss on his favorite “Democratic” Senator, but how much better? Having […]
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 […]
We’re rolling along with our “Online Debates” in the congressional primaries after yesterday’s exchange between four of the Republican candidates in CD-5. Today we present our “Online Debate” between the three Democratic candidates in CD-7: Peggy Lamm, Ed Perlmutter and Herb Rubenstein. We asked each candidate to submit three questions for each of their opponents, […]
You’ve read the Colorado Pols Online Debate between Republican candidates in CD-5, and now it’s time for you to vote. Which candidate do you think did the best in the Colorado Pols “Online Debate?” The winner will receive a free small button ad for the week leading up to the primary. You must be registered […]
Last week we asked all six Republican candidates for congress in CD-5 to submit two questions (total) for the rest of their opponents to answer. We then collected those questions and distributed them back to the candidates, and you can read their questions and answers below. Two candidates – Doug Lamborn and Lionel Rivera – […]
From Sunday’s Colorado Springs Gazette in a story about how Democrats are looking like the Party to beat in 2006: In the General Assembly, Democratic leaders are coming off a special session where they wrote and passed one of the toughest anti-illegal immigration measures in the country. It’s a move that gives their candidates a […]
It looks like the CD-5 attack ad against Jeff Crank and Lionel Rivera is really hurting the campaign of Doug Lamborn. From The Colorado Springs Gazette: A mailing accusing Republican congressional hopefuls Jeff Crank and Lionel Rivera of supporting the “radical homosexual lobby” may have backfired on its sender. At least two volunteers have since […]
We once called Rep. Jim Welker “Colorado’s Dumbest Legislator”, and even in exile he manages to hold onto his title. You may remember Welker for continually forwarding inappropriate e-mails to colleagues and then shrugging it off by saying, “I thought it would be interesting for discussion.” Later on, it was revealed that Welker ran a […]
We talked yesterday about the strange mail piece sent out in opposition to CD-5 candidates Jeff Crank and Lionel Rivera. Today, one of Crank’s supporters struck back with some biting criticism of Doug Lamborn. Here’s a portion of the e-mail sent out by state Sen. Andy McElhany… Those of us who know Doug Lamborn best […]
(We’re promoting a diary a day this week, so get yours written by clicking in the menu at right. – promoted by Colorado Pols) In HD51, there is the clearest choice in the state between a fiscal conservative and a big-spending statist masquerading as a Republican. Kevan McNaught has no political record to run on, […]
The old “it exists/no it doesn’t” poll done by Celinda Lake that reportedly showed Peggy Lamm leading Ed Perlmutter – the one that the Perlmutter camp obsessively denied existed for months – has resurfaced. Again. This is a different poll than the “oversample” poll that showed Lamm leading Perlmutter. The Lamm campaign is pointing to […]
We’ve posted before on this feud between Republicans Ted Harvey and Mark Baisley, who are locked in a primary in SD-30, mostly because we’re entertained by the press releases sent out by Baisley’s campaign. The Baisley camp is trying to make a big deal out of something that, frankly, is really difficult to understand. Take […]
Democrat Bill Ritter raised more than $360,000 for his gubernatorial campaign in June, bringing his total amount raised to $1.9 million. Ritter’s campaign also purchased another $125,000 in fall media time, for a total advance buy of $700,000.?Spending so much money early to lock in media time is a good idea, but Ritter doesn’t have […]
The Grand Junction Sentinel reports today on an issue that we thus far haven’t heard much about in Colorado campaigns: Curbing methamphetamine use and distribution. The issue came up during the campaign for SD-7 on the Western Slope.?From the Sentinel: The two Mesa County Republicans running for the state Senate are calling for different approaches […]
Attorney General candidate Fern O’Brien has split with campaign manager Jim Merlino. O’Brien was a longshot at best to beat incumbent Republican John Suthers, so it will be interesting to see who comes on to take over her campaign.
Eric Eidsness, a Reform Party candidate in CD-4, continues to make more news than most third-party candidates. Eidsness has no shot at winning the general election, but if he can take enough votes from incumbent Marilyn Musgrave, he could help swing the election in favor of Democrat Angie Paccione. From the Rocky Mountain News: Eric […]
Both Republicans and Democrats are trying to out-accuse each other of political ploys. From the Rocky Mountain News: Republican lawmakers vowed today to back Gov. Bill Owens in his possible call for a special session, denouncing Democrats’ dueling plan as nothing more than a political ploy. Before the legislature could convene, Democrats, who control both […]
Ed Perlmutter’s campaign for CD-7 is long past sounding ridiculous over their incessant cries about polling, but?now they are entering more dangerous territory: They’re starting to look silly and feeble. Perlmutter’s camp is?actively disputing the validity of the 9News/Survey USA poll released last week that showed fellow Democrat?Peggy Lamm with better name ID than Perlmutter. […]
A 9News/SurveyUSA poll shows Peggy Lamm ahead of fellow Democrats Ed Perlmutter and Herb Rubenstein, a revelation which may cause Perlmutter’s campaign headquarters to explode given his staff’s weird obsession with continually discussing past polls. From 9News: The phone poll of 513 registered voters in the 7th CD asked about whether their opinion of the […]
We’ve got a lot of e-mails to catch up on. Here is Republican Rick O’Donnell’s (CD-7) plan to cut deficit spending, as announced in a press release…
Governor Bill Owens’ last?chance to stick it to the 65th Democratic General Assembly?– from the Rocky Mountain News: Gov. Bill Owens vetoed 18 bills on Friday, including key Democratic proposals to relieve prescription-drug costs, expand the use of ethanol fuels and ban employers from requiring staffers to participate in political or religious meetings. Also vetoed […]
Democrat Peggy Lamm?today filed more than 3,000?petition signatures, which all but guarantees that she will make the primary ballot in CD-7. Click below for the full press release…
The results of today’s Republican congressional assembly in CD-5: Jeff Crank: 46% Doug Lamborn: 40% John Wesley Anderson: 13% Businessman Patrick Carter, who was a longshot at best, received less than 10% of the vote and is now out of the running. The rest of the field can petition onto the ballot. Colorado Springs Mayor […]
