Andrew Romanoff is running for Congress in the competitive 6th Congressional District (D+1) against an incumbent Republican, Mike Coffman. Andrew’s internal polling apparently indicated that he was having trouble motivating his base, who are largely sitting out the mid-term elections. So what does an attention-deprived desperate Dem would-be-Congressman do? Call in an off-the-wall national figure […]
I was astonished to find my local progressive station running the Bloomberg News. Here is what I found : radioinsight.com/blog/headlines/88602/kkzn-denver-to-drop-liberal-talk/ “AM 760” KKZN Thornton/Denver is next in line to shift to another Talk variation following similar moves in recent months at sister stations in Portland and Los Angeles…. Clear Channel registered RealTalk760.com last December that […]
There has been a lot of talk over the last week or so about Republican concerns that Tom Tancredo might poison the entire 2014 election should he emerge victorious from the June gubernatorial Primary. We won't deny that the GOP faces plenty of problems with a Tancredo candidacy, although the entire argument seems a bit […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) So I attended the Pueblo County Republican Party Meeting on May 13, 2014. My intent was to go incognito, as a generic interested Puebloan, and to find out what Marilyn Marks, (left) the featured speaker and Colorado elections activist, had to say about elections in Pueblo, as well as how the […]
While working for the most politically active agency in Colorado state government, Colorado PERA administrators must balance scores of political relationships, and divide hundreds of thousands of Colorado PERA trust fund dollars each year among hired Colorado PERA lobbyists. These PERA lobbyists seek to effect the political goals of the Colorado PERA Board of Trustees, […]
As FOX 31's Eli Stokols reports, it's a match made in heaven: Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is endorsing Colorado gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez, FOX31 Denver is first to report. Romney, who lost the 2012 presidential contest to President Barack Obama, will officially endorse Beauprez in an email that will be sent out later […]
Readers new to this discussion should know that the State of Colorado is currently seeking to break contracts to which the State is a party, specifically public pension contracts. In less than one month, the Colorado Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the resulting lawsuit, Justus v. State. In 2009, a public pension system […]
Back in February, we talked a little about Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo's "Latino outreach program," which coincided with the opening of a campaign office in Pueblo, and the rollout of a new chutzpah-heavy tagline, "¡Viva Tancredo!" As one of the nation's best-known and most controversial public figures on the issue of immigration, Tancredo's "Latino outreach […]
Fundraising reports for all Colorado statewide candidates are now available, and as we do every quarter, we break down the numbers in our handy chart and provide some context with Winners, Losers, and (our newest category) Disasters. We took an early look at the numbers as they trickled in late yesterday, but below we break […]
The Colorado Statesman's Jody Hope Strogoff follows up today on last Friday's fundraiser, first reported by Colorado Pols, for Colorado GOP Attorney General candidate Cynthia Coffman starring controversial Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer. We're very pleased to learn that Gov. Brewer is a reader! Brewer candidly acknowledged that — to the mild chagrin of her staff — she […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) I was all set to write a blog post this morning about Scott Gessler saying on the radio that his Republican gubernatorial opponents are all losers, including Mike Kopp who, Gessler said, presided over the Republicans' disastrous legislative-election collapse in 2010. Gessler told KNUS talk-radio host Jimmy Sengenberger a couple weeks ago: […]
Reporters have covered GOP Attorney General candidate Cynthia Coffman’s attacks on Democratic AG candidate Don Quick for saying he wouldn’t defend Colorado’s gay-marriage ban, if Quick were elected state AG. But strangely, they haven’t reported if Coffman thinks the ban, which is overwhelmingly opposed in Colorado, is constitutional. This detail went over my head when […]
(What a strange ending for Waller. He probably should have dropped out months ago, or at least soon after the GOP State Convention, so why now? — Promoted by Colorado Pols) As Eli Stokols at KDVR (And later, everyone else) reports: State Rep. Mark Waller announced Monday afternoon that he is ending his campaign for […]
(Worth reading – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Dear Denver Post, I want you to know that you’re my favorite daily newspaper in Denver. OK, you’re the only daily newspaper, but you get where I’m coming from. You’re like family to me, because you’ve arrived at my front door and been in our home every day […]
Longtime Colorado Pols reader Republican 36 posted a fascinating diary last night about Republican Rep. Mike Coffman raising money with a different message on Obamacare. You can read the entire diary here, but here's the key excerpt: Today I received a letter soliciting a campaign contribution from Coffman that contained a "confidential memo from Tyler Sandberg, his […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) On conservative KNUS radio last week, GOP Senate candidate Cory Gardner assured listeners that he remains "pro-life" even though he recently un-endorsed the personhood amendment, which would ban abortion in Colorado. "I remain a pro-life legislator who believes that my record actually speaks for itself while I’ve been in Congress," Gardner […]
An insightful story published yesterday evening at the Wall Street Journal takes a look at an emerging dominant theme in the biggest federal races in Colorado this election year–a desperate attempt by veteran Republican politicians to jettison their longstanding "anti-woman" baggage: Wary of being on the losing side of the gender gap, Republican candidates are working […]
Denver Post Politics Editor Chuck Plunkett has obviously never heard about the number one rule of holes: STOP DIGGING! Yesterday we followed a rather bizarre decision by Plunkett to remove a story posted to the newspaper's political blog "The Spot." Plunkett took down a story Tuesday night about Republican Congressman Mike Coffman written by reporter […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Here are eight reasons why Denver Post reporter Kurtis Lee's blog post, quoting Rep. Mike Coffman about personhood and abortion-for-rape-and-incest, was newsworthy and should not have been deleted from The Post's website. 1. It was news! The core of Denver Post Politics Editor Chuck Plunkett's written explanation for scrubbing the piece […]
(Warning: long) Many of the most densely populated portions of Congressional District 6 lie within the city of Aurora. My family and I moved near Mike Coffman's neighborhood in Aurora, CO 23 years ago from the midwestern college town where my husband received his PhD. When we moved into our first home, a rental, I was stunned […]
The Denver Post's Kurtis Lee circles back with Rep. Mark Waller, whose campaign for the GOP Attorney General nomination took a big hit at Saturday's state assembly: Chief Deputy Attorney General Cynthia Coffman nearly walked away with the GOP nomination for AG over the weekend, amassing 69 percent of the support from state delegates. The […]
UPDATE #2: An interesting twist in the gubernatorial primary, FOX 31's Eli Stokols: In a bit of a surprise, former state Sen. Mike Kopp narrowly won the top line on the June GOP primary ballot in the fight for the chance to challenge Democratic Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper this fall. Kopp took 33.6 percent of […]
UPDATE: Mike Coffman's Democratic opponent Andrew Romanoff responds: The Ryan budget does not reflect the values most Americans share. It would force middle-class families to pay more in taxes, students to pay more for college, and seniors to pay more for health care. The House I led balanced the budget every year. But we didn’t do […]
A press release from Democratic CD-6 candidate Andrew Romanoff moments ago: Andrew Romanoff, candidate for Colorado’s 6th Congressional District, raised $603,520 in the first quarter of 2014, bringing his total contributions to more than $2.6 million. Romanoff ended the quarter with nearly $2.1 million in cash on hand. Romanoff recorded his strongest fundraising period to […]
Liberal hack group Progress Now Colorado thought they had a live one on so-called "Equal Pay Day." As women across America observed Equal Pay Day, commemorating the extra days a woman must work in order to match the annual income of men, ProgressNow Colorado, the state’s largest online progressive advocacy organization, condemned votes by Reps. Cory […]
