The vast collection of bizarre online media programs and bunker-crazy talk-radio hosts has probably cost Bob Beauprez the governor's office. Beauprez can't shake off the digital archive of underground thought that he articulated on these shows beginning after his last gubernatorial loss in 2006 and continuing into this very year. It's defined him. Calling Obama […]
As the Durango Herald's Brandon Mathis reports, GOP U.S. Senate candidate Cory Gardner has got his talking points on energy down pat. It's total BS, of course, but he's got great delivery: U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner, seeking to unseat incumbent U.S. Sen. Mark Udall, defended hydraulic fracturing as a job creator and said bans of […]
(Lifestyles of the rich and creepy? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Some of the World Famous, Colorado-centric, Billionaire Koch Brothers family history is about to come out. And their anti-social, radical, reactionary, and anti-government attitudes will make a lot more sense to a lot more people. Sons of Wichita: How the Koch Brothers Became America’s Most Powerful and Private […]
MONDAY UPDATE: Think Progress: Thanks to Colorado Pols, we have GOP gubernatorial candidate and former U.S. Representative Bob Beauprez’s views on climate change — and they appear to mirror those of Buck. In his 2009 book “A Return to Values,” Beauprez called climate change “at best a grossly overhyped issue and at worst a complete […]
(Tom Tancredo, intellectual? – promoted by Colorado Pols) The Denver Post's Lynn Bartels took us down the GOP-Nightmare-Memory-Loop in an article yesterday pointing out that Sen. Greg Brophy endorsed former Congressman Tom Tancredo in 2010, calling him a "selfless hero," but now Brophy says Tancredo is "unprepared" to be governor. Asked by Bartels to explain […]
Perhaps the biggest reason why Colorado Pols is the most read and discussed blog in Colorado politics is our astute community of readers. We have always placed a high value on providing a forum for political debate for our readers, many of whom are themselves political insiders. That's why our reader account and community blog system has […]
(I’m in Colorado and I’m a woman… – promoted by Pita) As Facebook prepares to go public, 58% of its users lack representation on the world’s largest social network’s executive board. In addition to comprising most of its user base, women are responsible for 62% of sharing through Facebook network. Despite the importance of women […]
Worth noting, from Rep. Ed Perlmutter’s press release yesterday: More and more employers want to access your Facebook and social media accounts with your password for job screening purposes. Not so fast, says Rep. Ed Perlmutter (CO-07) who introduced a provision that would prevent employers from requiring current and prospective employees to hand over their […]
You may have heard Newark’s Mayor Cory Booker was in town on Saturday, as the keynote speaker at the Colorado Democratic Party’s Jefferson Jackson Dinner. His speech was electrifying. These principals are why so many of us are Democrats. Note: This is 37 minutes long. The first 12-13 minutes are a little slow, but starts […]
(Uh… – promoted by Colorado Pols) POLS UPDATE: Somebody mentioned Greeley and the “Tenth Amendment Center?” —– The Fourth Tea Party (posted at the Tenth Amendment Center) Perhaps you have wondered why you have grown more concerned about what is happening with the United States. … Could it be that you have heard God’s voice, […]

Colorado Pols now has a page on Facebook. Check out our page and be our friends. *We used to have a profile page, but it appears to have been disabled because “Colorado Pols” isn’t actually a person.
Fort Collins City Councilwoman Lisa Poppaw is the target of an inexplicable recall campaign. The primary motivator for the campaign doesn’t even live in Poppaw’s district and says this is the first time she has been involved in politics. Recall organizers need 1,086 signatures by early June. We’re hoping to attract that many Facebook “Fans” […]
Or at least they won’t be, after Jane Norton’s defensive end Josh Penry reads this: Now that’s what we call ‘caucus discipline,’ Mister Minority Leader.
Anyone else reading it? I can’t put it down. For many of you who follow politics in CO closer than I have over the years (family responsibilities used to be much more demanding than they are now), this is a catch up for me. Fascinating stuff. Its an easy read –a “Colorado’s recent political history […]
(Uh, okay. – promoted by Colorado Pols) Oh, those crazy kids: Attorney general warns agencies of Facebook use BOULDER – The Colorado attorney general’s office says state agencies shouldn’t have Facebook pages because of the potential legal liability. …A spokesman for the University of Colorado says the four-campus system has about 150 separate Facebook groups […]
Much of the said criticism of Andrew Romanoff on Pols and other sites definitely have merit; he has run a bit of a sloppy campaign (to say the least), he oftentimes fails to distance himself from his opponent, and his quizzical press conference earlier this week has not his finest hour. However…at least he can […]

(Seems to be all the teevee is talking about this morning. The hideous state budget situation is going to make the job losses worse… – promoted by ThillyWabbit) New unemployment data came out showing the job market continues to worsen. My Facebook friends reflect this. Four times this week, friends of mine have announced their […]
Although there’s been no word from the man himself, former Colorado Speaker of the House Andrew Romanoff has had a groundswell of support to run a primary bid against incumbent Senator Michael Bennet next year. Leading the charge has been talk show host, and frequent Pols contributor, Wade Norris. Taking a note from the earlier […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Bob Schaffer needs a little lesson in American history. Or maybe just a lesson in political ideologies. Michael Roberts of Westword has the story: Republican senatorial candidate Bob Schaffer needs a game-changer right now, given the size of Democratic opponent Mark Udall’s lead in most polls. So why not […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) McCain picked a book banning authoritarian to be a heart beat away from the Presidency. He’s shown his eager willingness and poor judgement to sell out to religious extremists for his own political ambition. Talk about putting America second.
Though not without some controversy, as the Denver Post reports: Lawmakers on Tuesday battled over what information voters should get about a host of ballot measures affecting unions and businesses. The tussle came as a committee of lawmakers finished approving language for the state’s “blue books,” which will be mailed to all registered voters through […]
