The Colorado Statesman celebrated its 118th birthday last night, with a party at the Governor’s Mansion carriage house and the launch of a new website and business model. In a short speech at the event, Statesman Publisher Jared Wright praised his staff and noted that the newspaper now has more capitol reporters than any other […]

According to a source with the Ted Cruz campaign, all of the other GOP Presidential candidates are dropping out and supporting him. That’s not true? Oh. It’s time to Get More Smarter with Colorado Pols. If you think we missed something important, please include the link in the comments below (here’s a good example). TOP OF MIND TODAY… ► Donald […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) It seems unlikely that any yellow-bellied “whistle pig” or other Rocky Mountain variant of the ground hog will be out today to cast a shadow. But I still think Colorado is in for a few more weeks of winter. It’s going to take that long for the snow to melt in […]
The Denver Post’s John Frank has a good story up this week on the large field of relatively low-level Republican candidates now competing for the chance to take on incumbent Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet in this year’s U.S. Senate race. Frank’s story is doing a good job defining the players early for a national audience […]

A bunch of armed terrorists take over a federal building in Oregon, and they blame law enforcement when one of them is killed. Sure, that makes sense.

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Informed that radio host Peter Boyles wishes Ryan Call were back in charge of the Colorado Republican Party, former state GOP chair Ryan Call said on KNUS 710-AM Saturday: Call: “To the extent I’ve ever heard Tom Tancredo acknowledge he’s wrong about something, I think in some ways, he’s done the […]
The AP’s Kristen Wyatt has a great story up today on this year’s widely-anticipated battles in the Colorado legislature over–wait for it–abortion politics. After Cory Gardner successfully gummed this issue to death in 2014, it’s an issue that many Democrats are fatigued at the prospect of having to argue yet again. Unfortunately, Republicans are fresh off a year […]
As the Denver Post’s Mark Matthews reports, it’s a match made in heaven: U.S. Rep. Ken Buck on Wednesday became the first member of Colorado’s congressional delegation to back U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz for president — calling the Texas Republican (and fellow Princeton alum) a “strong, conservative leader” who has “fought hard against the Washington establishment.” […]
With the right algorithm, you can calculate almost anything correctly. Using the correct combination of data and logic, a statistical junkie can crunch numbers to make fairly-accurate predictions and analysis about everything from NFL games to business profits and losses. Politics is different. You can gather all the data you want about politics, but it’s […]

Republican critics of Republican Presidential frontrunner Donald Trump have often used some variation of the line that “Trump won’t be the nominee” as an excuse to avoid offering an opinion on some of the more bombastic statements from His Hairness. Congressman Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) — who for some reason is absolutely terrified of saying anything about Trump — has used […]

We don’t post all of the blast emails we get from political candidates, but we wanted to take a moment to highlight a very smart action alert sent out yesterday by Democratic CD-6 candidate Morgan Carroll, in response to President Barack Obama’s executive actions to tighten background checks for gun sales: I remember the horrific day […]
UPDATE: Raw Story reporting, Cory Gardner isn’t the only Colorado Republican catching hell for his knee-jerk response to President Barack Obama’s action on guns today: Rep. Mike Coffman (R-CO) wrote, “.@POTUS just showed w/ #guncontrol that he has no respect for rep. government nor the limitations that Constitution places on his powers.” The congressman represents […]
(Bad advice. Don’t take it. – Promoted by Colorado Pols) After a surreal year of infighting, including a failed coup led by Cynthia Coffman, Tom Tancredo and others, the vice chair of the Colorado Republican Party is pleading with fellow Republicans to stop obsessing on state party leader Steve House–and to lay off attacking each […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The world didn’t end at Y2K. Or in 2012. All signs are that we, not all of us of course but collectively, will be here again next year, looking back at the year. With the West gripped in a snowy El Niño and riders and skiers rejoicing for a fantastic season […]

There’s no nice way to say it: Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump’s hotly controversial call to bar the entry of all Muslims into the United States has a surprising–the better word may be disturbing–amount of support among American conservatives according to polls taken since terrorist mass shooting attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California. While polls […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In response to my recent post, revealing another instance where Rep. Mike Coffman appears to resist criticizing Donald Trump, I received this letter: Dear BigMedia: The following psychological profile excerpt is a nearly one-to-one match with the qualities/behaviors that Trump supporters find attractive, in their own words: “[N]ever allow the public […]
