UPDATE #2: Former Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, have tested negative for COVID-19. Current Vice President Mike Pence and his wife, Karen, have also tested negative. —– UPDATE: Panic grows in Washington as more high-ranking Republicans test positive for COVID-19, including Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel and Sen. Mike Lee of Utah–the […]
Reports are varying out of Washington this afternoon over the state of negotiations over another round of economic relief legislation, which has been stalled for months as the economy sputters and Americans tighten their belts–and is nearly out of runway with Congress’ pre-election recess looming. Politico: [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi cast serious doubt on the […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: As The Hill newspaper reports, Gardner sorta commented on his vote Thursday: Another bill, sponsored by Gardner, called the “Pre-Existing Conditions Protect Act” would actually let insurance companies refuse to sell coverage to people with preexisting conditions, experts say. If an insurer did decide to sell a policy to someone with preexisting conditions, under […]
Last week, the Cook Political Report changed its ratings for Colorado’s U.S. Senate race, moving their prediction to the left from “Toss Up” to “Lean Democratic.” Today, another national handicapper made an even bigger change: Sabato’s Crystal Ball has adjusted its ratings for Colorado from “Leans Democratic” to “Likely Democratic.” As Kyle Kondik and J. […]
We’re officially into the last month of the election cycle, so we’ve made some adjustments to our predictions for various outcomes in “The Big Line.” The biggest change is in CO-3, where we have moved Democrat Diane Mitsch Bush into the lead for the first time: Take a look and tell us why we’re wrong.
A press release from surging Democratic CD-3 candidate Diane Mitsch Bush today announces a $2.5 million Q3 fundraising haul in her marquee race, easily setting a new record for the most money ever raised in a single quarter by anyone running in this district–in fact, That means she raised more in a single quarter than […]
This afternoon, as Ernest Luning of the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reports, the other shoe dropped in a situation we’ve been following for a number of days–an erroneous story at CBS4 Denver about post cards sent to non-voters outlining eligibility requirements to register to vote, since deleted, which has caused a nationwide wave of […]
Tuesday evening’s disastrous debate performance by President Trump was punctuated by his refusal to condemn white supremacist militia groups (here’s the video of the relevant exchange, ICYMI). Various Republican elected officials were asked about this moment in the last 18 hours. Some ducked and dodged, and some tried to give Trump the benefit of the […]

The Denver Post’s Conrad Swanson follows up on a highly misleading report that aired on CBS4 Denver late last week, which suggested Colorado’s voter rolls were somehow compromised by a post card sent to non-voters encouraging those eligible–with the eligibility requirements outlined right there on the card–to register to vote. This story from CBS4 political […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Last night may have been the first time Trump addressed the Proud Boys directly, telling the white nationalist group during the debate to, “Stand back and stand by.” But after a rally in Colorado Springs in February, the Trump campaign released a two-minute ad that briefly showed a partial, but unmistakable, […]
UPDATE: What, me worry? Gardner walks in for his meeting with Amy Coney Barrett – the only Republican senator who did not do a formal media avail as he met with the Supreme Court nominee — Seung Min Kim (@seungminkim) September 29, 2020 —– In early 2016, Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) flat-out refused to […]
This is a clip of video released yesterday by Gray TV, a company that owns local television stations in numerous mostly smaller media markets across the country. In Colorado, Gray TV owns KKTV, the CBS channel in the Colorado Springs market, and KKCO in Grand Junction. KKTV hasn’t posted the video above on their own […]

As Washington Post White House correspondent Seung Min Kim reports, Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) is among a group of nine male Republican Senators who will meet on Tuesday with Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett. What’s interesting about this list is who was NOT awarded a secret decoder ring to access the special meeting […]
This weekend, the Denver Post made their endorsement in the unexpectedly swing CD-3 race, throwing their support behind Democratic candidate Diane Mitsch Bush over Republican upstart nominee Lauren Boebert: We think Mitsch Bush will be an excellent representative for Congressional District 3. She is ready and willing to listen to her constituents — be they […]
Even if you have been living under a rock lately, chances are still pretty good that you’ve already heard about the big news surrounding President Trump’s personal finances — including $421 million in debts (which might be a low estimate) and the $750 that Trump paid in federal income taxes in recent years. The New York […]
(Can you blame ’em? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Multiple Colorado Republicans in swing districts won’t say anything about what’s arguably the most important topic of the November election: Donald Trump. State House candidate Caroline Cornell is one such Republican. Asked by the Colorado Times Recorder if she supports Trump, Cornell hung up the phone […]
Colorado Public Radio’s Hayley Sanchez reports on the removal late Friday of acting Bureau of Land Management Direct William Perry Pendley from his “temporary” position by a federal judge, weeks after Pendley’s politically self-immolating nomination to formally lead the agency he’s directed for over a year was rescinded by the White House: Environmentalists are celebrating […]
Over the weekend, CBS4 Denver News Director Tim Wieland took the unusual — but correct –step of removing a story from its website because it was factually inaccurate. On Sunday, CBS4 Denver and Shaun Boyd published a DIFFERENT story about its own erroneously-reported news from a few days earlier. Look at this headline: “Colorado’s Secretary […]
UPDATE: CBS4 Denver News Director Tim Wieland says this bit of fake news is coming down: I am removing a story from the @CBSDenver web site which suggested that a mailer asking people in Colorado to register to vote was connected to the state voter rolls. A tweet with a link to the story has […]
CNN reports, and the American culture wars enter a new and perilous phase: President Donald Trump intends to choose Amy Coney Barrett to be the new Supreme Court justice, according to multiple senior Republican sources with knowledge of the process… Barrett has been the leading choice throughout the week, since Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died. […]
We’ll preface this opinion with all of the necessary clichés: It’s not over until the fat lady sings. The future isn’t carved in stone. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. These are all wise sayings, but Election Day is less than 40 days away. Mail ballots in Colorado start going out in two weeks. […]
