(Promoted by Colorado Pols) A Rifle restaurant owned by Colorado congressional candidate Lauren Boebert once had its liquor license temporarily suspended for serving alcohol to an underage (and undercover) Liquor Enforcement Division employee. The restaurant, Putter’s Pub & Steakhouse, admitted to the 2015 violation and paid a fine. Boebert herself didn’t sell the beer to […]
[SPOILER ALERT: There is no Republican health care plan] President Trump’s somewhat-anticipated interview with “60 Minutes” reporter Lesley Stahl finally aired on Sunday night. This was the interview that Trump cut short last week when he got sad that Stahl was not going to just let him sit there and pretend that a secret laptop […]
As the Aurora Sentinel reports, get well wishes are in order for Mayor Mike Coffman of Aurora, and a close call for Gov. Jared Polis as the third wave of the very much ongoing COVID-19 pandemic grips the state: Colorado Gov. Jared Polis was but now isn’t quarantining himself after learning that Aurora Mayor Mike […]
Two years ago, we were talking a lot in this space about #Crowmentum. The race for Colorado’s 6th Congressional District was looking better for Democrats in 2018 after a couple of near-misses (and “not-so-near” misses) in previous election cycles in which CO-06 was a top battleground in the state. Democrats were cautiously optimistic that first-time […]
A powerful speech delivered yesterday by Sen. Michael Bennet, senior Senator from Colorado, tearing into his Republican colleagues for “stealing the authority of the Founders in an effort to conceal their reactionary project”–“to protect their power and call it freedom: freedom to enslave; freedom to segregate; freedom to pay workers less than they can live […]
MONDAY UPDATE: The Washington Post gives it to you straight: —– UPDATE: Remember this joke? “My 8-year-old son came to me and said, ‘Dad, I know when the pandemic ends.’ And I said, ‘You do?’ He says, ‘Yes, the day after the election.’ Now, he picked that up somewhere or heard that somewhere, or maybe mom […]
On October 9th, the Denver Post’s editorial board issued an endorsement of John Hickenlooper in Colorado’s U.S. Senate race that acknowledged in part the errors made by the board six years before with their deeply controversial endorsement of Cory Gardner’s election to the U.S. Senate. Yesterday, the editor of the Post’s opinion section Megan Schrader […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Richard Murray, a Republican who’s running for an open seat on the University of Colorado Board of Regents, would be expected to vote for Trump on November 3. After all, no elected Republican in Colorado has said they’ll abandon the President, despite his unpopularity here–and his extremism, like his refusal to […]
As Westword’s Connor McCormick-Cavanagh reports–the widely ridiculed announcement by the Republican Douglas County Board of Commissioners last summer that they are pulling out of the Tri-County Health Department and setting up their own in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, one that presumably wouldn’t force red-blooded Americans to submit to the tyranny of wearing masks […]

Politico reports, the jockeying for position in a Joe Biden administration’s Cabinet is already underway, with a big name showing interest in a big job: Sen. Bernie Sanders is hoping to be a part of Joe Biden’s potential administration and has expressed a particular interest in becoming Labor secretary, two people familiar with the conversations […]
UPDATE: The final kerfluffle begins: —– Tonight is the final Presidential candidate debate of the 2020 election cycle. The good news, if you are a supporter of President Trump, is that it will be physically harder for Trump to continually interrupt Democrat Joe Biden or NBC News moderator Kristen Welker. The bad news? Well, pretty […]
That is all. Please save this wonderful town. UPDATE: From the scene: PHOTOS: The sky has gone from yellow to orange. There is a long line of cars waiting to leave Estes Park. #EastTroublesomeFire #EstesPark pic.twitter.com/22iWHB4B9b — Matthew Jonas (@photojmatthew) October 22, 2020

9NEWS reports on a story that’s quickly going viral as the clock to Election Day 2020 ticks down: The landlord of a trailer park in Fort Morgan allegedly sent a note to residents warning rent would most likely double in price if Joe Biden becomes President. 9NEWS received several emails from Fort Morgan residents concerned […]
An interesting twist in the hotly competitive CD-3 race between Democratic candidate Diane Mitsch Bush and upstart GOP candidate Lauren Boebert, brought to our attention in an otherwise innocuous campaign trail story from veteran reporter John Stroud at the Glenwood Springs Post-Independent: Endorsements and words of support are coming in for Third District Congressional candidates […]
NBC News reports on the wackiest–and ickiest–story in politics today: Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, fell for an embarrassing Sacha Baron Cohen prank in the soon-to-be-released movie sequel to “Borat.” In the film, a copy of which was obtained by NBC News, Giuliani and a fictional young female reporter, who was part of […]
Courtesy New Hampshire Democrats, here’s Vice President Mike Pence on an airport whistlestop in the Granite State cheering on Republican Senate candidate Corky Messner–except he dropped one crucial letter to come up with another GOP Senate contender’s first name: And he didn’t just do it once, he did it twice! Understandable — both Corky Messner […]
As the New York Times reports, the White House and Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi are inching closer to a deal on a comprehensive economic stimulus bill that includes the direct payments and aid to struggling state and local governments Democrats have been holding out for, and might even if everybody moves quickly […]

A column from Colorado Sun reporter Jesse Paul appeared in the much larger forum of the Washington Post yesterday, offering another torrid take on the impending fall of GOP Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado along a theme we’ve been hearing quite a bit the last few days: that Gardner, an “excellent candidate” in his own […]
Things are not going well for President Trump. Ballots are being cast in record numbers across the country, and polling shows that Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden maintains an historic lead over Trump as we enter the final two weeks of the 2020 election cycle. To nobody’s surprise, Trump is not reacting well to any […]
A press release last Thursday from Democratic U.S. Senate candidate John Hickenlooper’s campaign took note of a late investment in the flagging fortunes of GOP incumbent Sen. Cory Gardner by Joe Ricketts, the billionaire owner of the Chicago Cubs: With ballots already coming in at record speed, Senator Cory Gardner’s wealthy corporate backers are panicking […]
