Some bang-up reporting from FOX 31’s Eli Stokols yesterday: In Denver Monday, the Romney campaign held a “Strengthening our Middle Class” event at the Rio Grande Company that featured Colorado Congressman Cory Gardner, R-Yuma, and Sen. John Thune, R-South Dakota, whose name had been mentioned as a potential running mate… Gardner and Thune agree on […]
UPDATE: A press release moments ago from Personhood Colorado: Personhood Colorado submitted signatures to the Secretary of State’s office today for the Colorado Personhood Amendment. The signatures submitted totaled 112,121, although only 86,105 were required. All signatures are pending validation by the Colorado Secretary of State’s office. “Once again, we are amazed at the tenacity […]
As the Pueblo Chieftain reports, Wednesday is a big day for normally sleepy Alamosa. Adams State University hosts the first debate matchup that night between GOP freshman incumbent CD-3 Rep. Scott Tipton, and challenger Sal Pace of Pueblo, a state representative. We expect many questions about this race–still considered the biggest congressional pickup opportunity for […]
That’s the word from Allison Sherry of the Denver paper this afternoon. Circling back with three GOP members of Congress, Reps. Scott Tipton, Mike Coffman, and Cory Gardner, who had expressed support for extension of the wind power tax credit considered key to the preservation of hundreds of related jobs in Colorado, Sherry finds that […]
TUESDAY UPDATE #3: In a release moments ago, Colorado Democratic Party spokesman Matt Inzeo seeks answers from Republicans who have supported the wind power tax credit: Romney’s opposition to the PTC is all the more out of touch given that it supports as many as 5,000 jobs in Colorado and 75,000 nationwide. And failing to […]
(I never thought Shawn Mitchell would do something more disgusting than that time he showed his loosey-whities… – promoted by ProgressiveCowgirl) Yesterday, President Barack Obama flew to Colorado to comfort the victims of Friday morning’s tragic mass murder in Aurora and their families. At the same time President Obama was getting ready to head out […]
Little to disagree with in this summary of the increasingly hot race for CD-6 from our friends at National Journal, who now rank CD-6 #1 in their top five “bellwether House races.” A former secretary of state with a military background, Rep. Mike Coffman looked like a rising Republican star when he came to Washington, […]
( – promoted by ClubTwitty) Author’s Note: This diary has been updated every time I thought of a new #retroactively joke. Ed Gillespie, Mitt Romney’s top campaign adviser, stated Sunday on “State of the Union” that Romney cannot be held responsible for decisions made at Bain Capital between 1999 and 2001, because Romney had retired […]
Democrat Joe Miklosi got off to a slow start last year in his bid to unseat Rep. Mike Coffman, but fundraising seems to have picked up (no doubt with an assist from Coffman’s continual birther comment problems). According to a press release, Miklosi raised more than $335,000 in the last fundraising period. Full release after […]
(The Mike Coffman two-step? – promoted by Colorado Pols) Talking to KHOW’s Peter Boyles June 5, state Senate candidate John Sampson said it was unfortunate that a Georgia judge decided not to scratch Obama’s name from Georgia’s presidential ballot for the upcoming election. Sampson said the judge should have issued a default decision against Obama […]
After GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney made it out of fire-ravaged Colorado yesterday, without having to answer questions about prior campaign-trail statements disparaging calls for “more firefighters,” a press release this morning from Aurora firefighters via the Colorado AFL-CIO brings the issue to the fore–hitting both Romney, and Colorado congressional Republicans who have voted to […]
We talked yesterday about attempts by Republican officials and conservative opinionmakers in recent days to turn the response to the tragic wildfires in Colorado and elsewhere into a political hit on President Barack Obama in an election year–despite the fact that the reduction of the nation’s aerial tanker fleet mostly occurred during the prior administration, […]
We were taken aback a couple of weeks ago to see freshman Rep. Cory Gardner of Colorado call for an investigation into the possibility–based on nothing but uninformed speculation–that federal roadless area policies (meaning “the government”) might have contributed to the High Park Fire that ravaged the mountains above Fort Collins. Gardner admitted that he […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) During their final, good-bye broadcast Friday, Craig Silverman and Dan Caplis thanked Rep. Mike Coffman for “being a real friend of the show” and for being “accessible.” Caplis told Coffman, “You never ever ducked us,” which definitely ain’t what 9News and other media types have been saying lately about […]
The Colorado Statesman has some good gossip online about the 2014 Senate race (Sen. Mark Udall’s seat). There are a few particular items that we thought worthy of further analysis: In no uncertain terms, state GOP boss Ryan Call wants to demolish the notion that he might be considering a run for Democrat Mark Udall’s […]
Charlie Cook gives Democratic CD-6 challenger Joe Miklosi a most favorable heads-up: CO-06: Mike Coffman (R) – Denver southeast suburbs: Aurora, Littleton Toss Up. Democrats scored a huge coup in Colorado redistricting when a state judge picked a map moving GOP-leaning Douglas County out of the 6th CD and uniting the increasingly Democratic suburb of […]
“This is Democrats’ best opportunity to pick up a seat in the entire Mountain West.” – The Cook Political Report Both Cook and Rothenberg Political Reports believe Joe Miklosi has a good chance of beating incumbent Mike Coffman in CD6. In today’s Cook Report, it states Colorado Democrats “scored a huge coup” from the state […]
UPDATE: To clarify, these numbers do not reflect a whole quarter of fundraising for either Rep. Joe Miklosi or Mike Coffman. These are pre-primary period reporting numbers from April 1-June 6, with most but not all of the second quarter included. There are still eleven days left in the second quarter, so both Miklosi’s and […]
Since Rep. Coffman’s constituents weren’t having much luck finding Rep. Mike Coffman in his district or in his Congressional office, we thought we might have better luck at his campaign office. There’s a single page on the Web that has a mailing address listed in Highlands Ranch, so we drove out there and this is […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Yesterday’s topic was a bill introduced by Representative Scott Tipton that would make Drill, Baby, Drill the law of the land in lands managed by the forest service and BLM. It made energy production the only use to be considered when approving drilling requests, leaving out hunters, fishermen, cattlemen, […]
Dear Joe, Recently I received a direct call from you asking for a ridiculous amount of money. I tested you on your stance of Mike Coffman’s American Exceptionalism quote and you failed miserably. The quote: “Coffman went on to say in his written apology: “However, I don’t believe the president shares my belief in American […]
Conservative talk radio hosts don’t have too many kind words for Metropolitan State College these days, after Metro’s decision last week to offer a reduced tuition rate to undocumented students. Everyone knows this issue potentially alienates Hispanic voters in a swing state where Hispanics could decide the election. Still, the conservatives on the radio, many […]
A story from the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Dennis Webb we wanted to ensure got a mention: A Democratic Colorado congressman Wednesday succeeded in convincing the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives to strip a $25 million oil shale subsidy from an energy and water appropriations bill. The amendment by U.S. Rep. Jared Polis and Rep. Gerry […]
As 9News reports, a former Democrat named Kathy Polhemus apparently plans to run in CD-6 as an Independent candidate: Kathy Polhemus, a retired non-profit executive who founded Dress for Success, intends to submit signatures to the Colorado Secretary of State Wednesday morning to secure a spot on the ballot. State Representative Joe Miklosi is the […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) If you’re a connoisseur of conspiracy theories, you know that consparicists take great pleasure in each other. They thrive in the closeness they achieve through their shared beliefs, especially because everyone else thinks they’re crazy. That’s why talk radio is such a beautiful medium for conspiracists. The voices and […]
