You probably didn’t ask, but as readers know the 2022 iteration of the cottage industry pretending to be on a campaign to recall Gov. Jared Polis for cash and prizes, depending on your reckoning either the third or fourth such campaign since Polis’ election in 2018, is in the field once again–and hard up against […]
(A Q-onsolidating race for Secretary of State — Promoted by Colorado Pols) David Winney, a Republican, dropped his quest to be Colorado’s Secretary of State Friday, throwing his support to Tina Peters, the embattled Mesa County County Clerk, who announced her entrance into the race on former Trump advisor Steve Bannon’s podcast Feb. 14. Winney […]
Republicans, including fledgling gubernatorial candidate Hiedi Heidi Ganahl, are trying really, really, really hard to cement a 2022 election narrative that crime is out of control in Colorado and it’s all because of Democrats. Vote for us, say Republicans, and your catalytic converters will be safe once again! This entire effort is getting rather silly. […]
UPDATE #2: Republican State Rep. Matt Soper (R-Delta) made it very clear today that he has no problem with Rep. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert as the face of the Colorado Republican Party: In short, racism is cool so long as it upsets Democrats. Just…wow. —– UPDATE: Jimmy Kimmel nails it: pic.twitter.com/taMFKhA1FC — Jimmy Kimmel (@jimmykimmel) March […]
Former Republican Congressman, presidential candidate, and anti-immigrant human blowtorch Tom Tancredo has been on a tear of endorsements for Republican candidates running in hot primaries. A “Tanc Ticket” of conservative contenders headed by Gino Campana for U.S. Senate and CD-8 candidate Lori Saine is coming together for the June 28th primary, along with Tancredo’s surprising […]
Late last Friday afternoon while you were working out your plans for the upcoming lovely weekend, the Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul wrote a story that despite its “Friday news dump” timing was a big topic of discussion among a small but influential group of people: Former Colorado Gov. Bill Owens is the chairman of the […]
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 […]
Marianne Goodland at the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog has seen plenty of unusual situations inside the Colorado Capitol, including at least a couple that involved the building’s too-few and always in demand bathrooms. But a discovery last night in a Capitol bathroom by a House staffer of an envelope full of checks made out […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) by Erik Maulbetsch, Colorado Times Recorder “This is not about Republican and Democrat,” Mesa County, Colorado, Clerk Tina Peters told the audience of election conspiracists. “They try to make it so it seems they’re dividing one party against the other, but it’s not that at all. It’s the globalists who have […]
With Colorado Republicans single-mindedly focused on turning the complex and nationwide issue of rising crime into a partisan political weapon ahead of a midterm election in which they are desperately hoping to recover lost ground, the daily crime-beat headlines have become a continuous source of cheap messaging fodder to fuel their narrative. In the last […]
Chase Woodruff of Colorado Newsline reports this morning on an “emergency meeting” that took place last night in Castle Rock, organized by the militia-fortified conservative activist group FEC United. Last night’s meeting featured a number of Colorado Republicans who, like a majority of the Republican rank-and-file, believe as an article of faith–faith being necessary due […]
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 […]
9NEWS updates on the growing controversy in conservative Douglas County, after the newly-elected right-wing school board majority allegedly violated open meetings laws to set up the ouster of DougCo Schools superintendent Corey Wise without the knowledge of the minority. In response, at least 1,350 Douglas County teachers announced they would rally today against the board […]
The Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul reports on the intensifying campaign to protect abortion rights in Colorado ahead of a Supreme Court decision that could strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling–a battle that has raged year after year with less attention than it should have received due to what we can best describe as […]
With all of the fundraising reports from 2021 now available, we took a moment to make some adjustments to The Big Line: 2022. Here’s a brief synopsis of what changed (and what didn’t): U.S. SENATE Incumbent Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet remains the clear favorite here, so the only movement is on the Republican side. […]
We were tipped off this morning about a filing yesterday by former Republican Speaker of the House Frank McNulty to run for the post of University of Colorado Regent, representing the state’s heavily conservative 4th congressional district after McNulty’s home in Highlands Ranch was lumped with most of the Eastern Plains on the new congressional […]
As the Washington Post’s John Wagner reports, after a wild weekend rally at which former President Donald Trump teased the idea of pardoning January 6th insurrectionists and running again in 2024, Trump issued a new statement last night claiming in no uncertain terms that he should still be President: Former President Donald Trump suggested in […]

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, […]
Westword’s Conor McCormick-Cavanaugh reported late last week on House Bill 22-1064, introduced by a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers to ban flavored tobacco products statewide after a similar ban was vetoed by Denver Mayor Michael Hancock last December: “It’s not an easy topic to address. This is a contentious topic,” says Representative Kyle Mullica, a Democrat […]
As longtime readers know, the editorial section of the arch-conservative Colorado Springs Gazette, which has extended its editorial footprint northward with the launch of the like-minded Denver Gazette, has a reputation for making laughably strained cases in defense of favored Republican politicians, ballot initiative campaigns, and luminaries near and far. During the 2018 governor’s race, […]
As Colorado Newsline’s Julia Fennell reported yesterday, former Colorado Christian University “constitutional law professor” Jenna Ellis, who gained nationwide fame as one of the principal faces of ex-President Donald Trump’s legal team challenging the results in dozens of failed lawsuits across the country, has been subpoenaed by the Select Committee investigating the January 6th, 2021 […]

As The Colorado Sun explains in its “Unaffiliated” newsletter, Republicans are back to arguing about the definition of a “fact” as they continue their incessant whining about mean people making them wear something over their nose and mouth during a global pandemic: Republicans in the House on Friday, the third day of this year’s lawmaking […]
