Yesterday we suggested a scenario for a “Colorado Political Draft,” with the ongoing NFL Draft as inspiration. We gave you our Top Five, and let you suggest your own draft choices. Today, we’re taking a look at the “Sleeper Picks.” These are the picks that a team makes in the NFL Draft that initially have […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) A March 28 Denver Post article offered up a misleading tidbit that I should have pointed out earlier–before it spread across the country. I’m not referring to the headline of the Post article, which was bad enough. It read “Markey a Polarizing Force in the 4th Congressional District.” The […]

Recent experience suggests that several things are required to execute a successful political campaign. It’s been documented . Things like 1. Communicate a clear and consistent message 2. Persuade, don’t educate 3. Respond quickly to attacks 4. Run a tight ship with a clear chain of command or 1) Understand your constituency 2) have a […]
Democrats putting together their opposition research file on CD-4 frontrunner Cory Gardner haven’t been disappointed by his votes in the Colorado legislature this session. We talked last weekend about Gardner’s politically ill-advised vote to cut the Agriculture Department, despite Minority Leader Mike May’s near-pleading on the House floor not to do so. And then there […]
(Mr. Hyde (R) strikes again!-ColPols–I just updated with Jared’s response – promoted by Danny the Red (hair)) Update with Jared’s response I voted against the HIRE Act along with 35 members of the Congressional Black Caucus and Progressive Caucus on grounds that it was simply too little, too late: its tax cuts will not bring […]
Strange editorial today in The Denver Post about “reconciliation” on the health care debate: Most Americans want Congress to start over on health care reform, but it seems Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet would rather jam it down our throats. Ignoring the message that voters sent in Massachusetts [Pols emphasis], and shedding any notion that he […]
Now that the 2010 campaign season has started to really get going, we’re starting to get more and more press releases from various campaigns. As we always do here at Colorado Pols, we like to take a closer look at those press releases that amuse us for one reason or another. Today’s fun press release […]

Science plays a very important part in our political sphere. The most obvious is the theory of global warming – do we invest trillions to address the problems it predicts? But it plays a part across the spectrum from food safety to medical research to… the list is endless. The question I asked was please […]
Ever since the Rocky folded, the Denver Post seems much more conservative. During the summer-of-a-hundred health care reform rallies and towne halls, our numbers were consistently under-estimated and equal time was given to (usually) pathetic tea-party protester crowds. Also, Cong. Mike Coffman has had several Op-Eds, while his Democratic opponent, Lt.Col.(ret.)John Flerlage has submitted many […]

Now that 2010 is here (and most of you are back to work after the holidays), it’s time to take our look back on the decade that was. We asked your opinions on what the Oughts Brought, and now it’s time to start revealing the winners. We’ll be here with this all week, folks, so […]
I read this in the Sunday Denver Post (12/20/09) in the section, Colorado Votes: H.R. 2847 – Jobs and Benefits: Voting yes: DeGette, Polis, Salazar, Perlmutter Voting no: Lamborn, Coffman, Markey H.R. 4313 – U.S. Debt Limit Voting yes: DeGette, Polis, Salazar, Perlmutter Voting no: Lamborn, Coffman, Markey Now, maybe I could understand Rep. Markey’s […]
Recently my sister passed away unexpectedly and I was looking for some helpful books I could pass on to help her daughters to deal with their loss. So I dusted off my Women Who Run with the Wolves book and decided to make a copy of one of my favorite stories about intuition and the […]
In 2006, the Democrats, Moveon.org and George Soros were pissed. Not only had George W. Bush survived his 2000 election, but he won reelection in 2004 handily. The most galling part of the 2004 election for the Dems was the state of Ohio. Ohio’s Republican Secretary of State had not only kept out questionable ballots […]
Adams County Deputy DA Paul Nitze with the best analysis of the brouhaha over U.S. Attorney nominee Stephanie Villafuerte we’ve seen, laying out the unspun facts in a column today: Late in Gov. Ritter’s 2006 campaign, when GOP candidate Bob Beauprez knew he was on the ropes, he took a cheap shot at the governor, […]
Tom Tancredo’s friend and colleague Congressman Mike Coffman is running for re-election in CO-6 against Democratic challenger, Lt. Col. (ret.) John Flerlage, as well as a new challenger — the man responsible for closing many of Aurora’s libraries. “New Republican” only-recently turned libertarian Rob McNealy, the driving force behind “Citizens for Responsible Aurora Government” was […]
As the Pueblo Chieftain reports: Senate candidate Jane Norton said Wednesday that she doesn’t want the federal government to condemn land to expand the Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site… Norton said she would allow ranchers who want to sell their land to the U.S. Army to do so. But, “I wouldn’t support condemnation,” she said. “I […]
(I remember the press holding vigil every day at Poudre Valley Hospital until Matthew Shepard died, and there have been regular press stories about his murder ever since. I didn’t hear about Angie Zapata until the trial of her killer and have heard nothing since. Something is wrong with that picture. – promoted by ThillyWabbit) […]
So liberals are less than delighted with the revised House health reform legislation revealed yesterday–there are complaints building that too any concessions were made to so-called “Blue Dog” conservative Democrats, that the “public option” insurance entity provided for in the new bill lacks the teeth to really bring costs down as originally intended. But the […]
From a middle of the night email from Mitch Stewart, National Director of Organizing for America: Your voice was overwhelming — with reports in the media of congressional offices “completely crushed with calls.” CBS News described your effort as an “onslaught.” And a congressional aide was quoted with a common response, saying their office was […]
The Congressional Delegation Town Hall meeting went very well. Though slightly raucous, the Democrats clearly indicated that the status quo is not acceptable, that coverage, containing costs i.e. payiig for health care reform without increasing the deficit, and providing more competition detail the core of the bill that they wish to get out of the […]
A friend of mine once told me he loved politics because every two years he got to see new and creative ways that Democrats screw up a sure thing. He won’t be disappointed in 2010 if Andrew Romanoff stays in the Senate race. Andrew Romanoff is a good and decent man. Most of us CO […]
