UPDATE: Aaron Gardner of conservative blog RedState Tweets it like it is: We all get that this is still just beginning, right? Lot of big bold dots that can easily be connected. #copolitics — Aaron Gardner (@Aaron_RS) June 26, 2015 —– For Attorney General Cynthia Coffman, the headline in the Denver Post this afternoon is […]
(Making it formal – Promoted by Colorado Pols) POLS UPDATE: The Durango Herald’s Peter Marcus updates the story, with Tom Tancredo admitting that the name of Steve House’s alleged mistress was indeed brought up during their confrontation–a key confirmation: Former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo said Thursday that the name of the woman who Colorado Republican Party […]
UPDATE #2: Conservative opinion site RedState has a lengthy story and interview with Steve House up today that’s worth a read–in which this blog is referred to as the “Daily Kos” of Colorado. An audio interview performed by former federal agent, and current Vice Chair from Adams County, John Sampson with Julie Naye – the alleged […]
One of the central curiosities surrounding the Coffmangate scandal is that all parties involved in the alleged coup attempt against State Republican Party Chair Steve House have continually refused to go into any detail about why they were so intent on forcing House to resign after less than three months on the job. While details […]
On Saturday, Colorado Pols was first to report details about the rapidly-growing Coffmangate scandal involving Attorney General Cynthia Coffman and a handful of other Republicans (for more background on this rapidly-evolving story, see the links at the bottom of the page). One of the revelations from our Saturday post was about the emergence of another […]
MONDAY UPDATE: We’ve heard from a number of people regarding a potential special election, which we originally noted could be held in November 2015. Should Cynthia Coffman resign in the near future, State Statutes indicate that Gov. John Hickenlooper would appoint a temporary replacement Attorney General until the State Senate reconvenes in Jan. 2016 (the […]
(Drip, drip, drip – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Today, ProgressNow Colorado, the state’s largest online progressive advocacy organization, filed a Colorado Open Records Act request for all correspondence between Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman and specific individuals named in a growing blackmail scandal involving Coffman and Colorado Republican Party chairman Steve House. As the likelihood of […]
UPDATE: 9NEWS Brandon Rittiman reporting, Cynthia Coffman sticks to her story about the timing of her decision not to run for the U.S. Senate: Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman confirmed to 9NEWS Thursday she will not run for US Senate, saying it’s a decision she made before this week’s news of her participation in an […]
This unfortunate, but hilarious, incident occurred last night in Washington D.C. at a Washington Nationals baseball game. Imagine Attorney General Cynthia Coffman as the person under the poncho, and you’ll have a pretty good idea of what her life is like these days.
UPDATE: Interesting choice of words from Coffman’s spokesperson in response to a request for comment from the Associated Press: House’s statement, about three months after he became party chair, was prompted in part by an email Coffman sent to The Denver Post saying he was resigning Tuesday, but she didn’t explain why. She declined to […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) On Friday, after Rep. Mike Coffman suggested that if leaders of the Veterans Administration were put in charge of ISIS, they would be too incompetent to keep track of beheadings, neither of the radio hosts who conducted the interview questioned Coffman about whether the Congressman’s comments were appropriate. Instead, Steffan Tubbs and […]
MONDAY UPDATE #2: Via the Denver Post’s Mark Matthews, the Department of Veterans Affairs responds: A VA spokeswoman chided U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman on Monday for statements the Aurora Republican made recently in which he imagined the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs running the terrorist group ISIS. His “comments do not belong in our public […]
On Friday, we received word from more than one reliable source about fresh rumors that Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman may be preparing to announce a run for the U.S. Senate–a particularly interesting rumor given her husband Mike Coffman’s announcement one week ago that he would not run against incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet. Since then, we’ve heard conflicting […]
The Denver Post’s Lynn Bartels reported Friday afternoon: Aurora Congressman Mike Coffman paid Republican Ben Carson $15,000 to speak at a fundraiser, according to a Wall Street Journal story reporting that the GOP presidential candidate and his wife earned between $8.9 million and $27 million in a recent 16-month period… Democrats thought that they had […]
Congressman Mike Coffman told the Denver Post on Monday that he will not challenge Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet in 2016 and will instead focus on re-election in CD-6. Coffman’s decision to stay out of the race is big news for the same reason a flawed Coffman was the GOP’s top choice to run for Senate […]
Lynn Bartels of the Denver Post with the breaking news confirming what we’ve been saying for months now: Rep. Mike Coffman will NOT challenge Sen. Michael Bennet in 2016: U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman won’t challenge Democrat Michael Bennet in Colorado’s Senate race next year despite being wooed by local and national Republicans. “It certainly was […]
As the Denver Post’s Anthony Cotton reports, a rally outside the construction site for the troubled VA Medical Center project on the Anschutz health care campus in Aurora yesterday was well attended by local veterans with a single, simple message: “Finish the damn thing.” More than 150 people turned out for the rally, held across […]
(Try to Google “What is Mike Coffman’s position on immigration reform?” — Promoted by Colorado Pols) In response to my post yesterday urging reporters to spotlight Mike Coffman’s weak advocacy for immigration reform, Coffman’s spokesman Tyler Sandberg told me via Twitter that “Google is Your Friend,” and directed me to an instance when Coffman said […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Rep. Mike Coffman has spent years telling reporters how much he cares about immigration reform. But what would it look like if he really wanted to pass an actual factual immigration-reform bill? Instead of just talking about one? Or writing an op-ed about it? Or even attending a press conference about […]
As Roll Call reports, Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) will have breakfast tomorrow with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who hopes to pursuade Coffman to challenge Democratic incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet in 2016. Judging from the headline of the Roll Call story (“What if Mike Coffman Says No“), somebody may have more than egg on their […]
UPDATE: AP’s Nick Riccardi: Politics changes quickly. Coupla weeks ago Coffman might have ridden VA mess to Senate. Now his party blamed 4 killing project. #copolitics — Nick Riccardi (@NickRiccardi) May 20, 2015 —– As the Denver Post’s Mark Matthews reports, the ongoing controversy over the wildly over-budget new VA medical center under construction at the Anschutz […]
The Denver Post’s Mark Matthews reported yesterday on a…push, agitation, grandstand, kabuki dance, whatever you want to call it from Rep. Mike Coffman for an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act to allow “DREAMer” undocumented students to enlist in the military: A provision that could pave the way for young immigrants to serve in the […]
(But remember, the “War on Women” is a myth! – Promoted by Colorado Pols) THURSDAY UPDATE: Coffman voted for the 20-week abortion ban yesterday. Under the bill’s exceptions, a raped woman can have an abortion only “if the rape has been reported at any time prior to the abortion to an appropriate law enforcement agency.” And […]
(Right back at ya – Promoted by Colorado Pols) As Rep. Mike Coffman appeared in Aurora today to grandstand at a U.S. Senate Veterans Affairs Committee field hearing about the troubled VA Hospital project in Aurora, ProgressNow Colorado, the state’s largest online progressive advocacy organization, released a new report documenting Coffman’s own oversight responsibility over […]
Congressman Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) is a member of the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee and the Chairman of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee. It is, ostensibly, his job to have done something — anything — to prevent the disaster that has become the still-under-construction VA Hospital in Aurora. Coffman hasn’t done much of anything in the […]
