The so-called “Great Colorado Payback,” the troubled program run by Colorado Treasurer Walker Stapleton to reunite Coloradans with lost funds that has been the focus of a good deal of negative press as complaints and wait times have piled up, has a more fundamental problem: This was brought to our attention several days ago, but […]
Last week ended with bad news for Republican Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora), who learned that House Speaker Paul Ryan’s Super PAC (Congressional Leadership Fund) had decided to pull out of CO-6 amid growing concern that the Crowmentum might be too much to overcome by November. In mid-September, we finally moved Democrat Jason Crow ahead of Coffman on The […]

UPDATE: USA TODAY: Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley disputed accusations from Democrats that he and his staff have tried to brush away allegations against Brett Kavanaugh from a second accuser, Deborah Ramirez. During Friday’s committee meeting, the Iowa Republican said he “acted immediately” to investigate her charges and that his staff “repeatedly” tried to […]
UPDATE: Kyle Clark is appropriately bewildered by all of this. —– Take a look at the sentence below. We’re not going to provide any context quite yet, because it’s instructive just to read these words as they are written: Liberal political activist Kyle Clark, a 9 News Denver anchor, rules against Republicans and Hughes more […]
The news today will be dominated by two things: Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s planned meeting with President Trump at the White House, which may end with Rosenstein out of a job (postponed), and the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Denver7’s Blair Miller reports on a controversy that erupted this week over an ad from Giffords PAC, hitting Rep. Mike Coffman’s opposition to gun safety laws and support from the National Rifle Association with a visual that bore a disturbing similarity to actual events in Colorado over a decade ago: The parents of Emily Keyes […]
(Backpedaling to appease Dudley Brown? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) The Republican candidate for Colorado attorney general, George Brauchler, is now more skeptical than he was this spring of legislation allowing law enforcement officials to ask the courts for permission to take guns from people deemed to pose a significant risk to themselves or others.

As the Boulder Daily Camera’s Mitchell Byars reports: In days since she came forward accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, support for Boulder’s Deborah Ramirez has come from all over the county. Now it’s even coming out of the sky.
UPDATE: Local conservative commentator Ari Armstrong calls out Republicans: This is really a shameful Tweet, @COHouseGOP. a) Polis's name change had nothing to do with this. b) The appropriate officials scrutinized him and determined him to be the victim of an attempted crime. If you can't be better than this you deserve to lose. https://t.co/9oIyLeiPAn […]

From CNN: President Trump claims that world leaders were “laughing with” him, not at him, during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly. —– President Trump addressed members of the United Nations in New York on Tuesday, and as you may have heard, it did […]
Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) said on Monday that he “absolutely supports” a Senate investigation into claims from a Boulder woman who has levied sexual misconduct charges at Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. But that was Monday. Today Gardner appeared at a press conference with Senate Republican leadership in which Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell essentially promised […]
The Crowmentum in CO-6 looks to be very real indeed, but we need your opinion, wise readers of Colorado Pols. As always, we want to know who you think will be the winner in November, not who you support or who you would prefer to see emerge victorious. The point of this exercise is to track how […]

Washington Post–you knew this was coming, but the shock is no less visceral: President Trump on Tuesday attacked the second woman who has accused Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, dismissing her account because she was “totally inebriated and all messed up,” and accused Democrats of playing a “con game” in an attempt to […]
The Washington Post’s Sean Sullivan reports on a radio interview yesterday featuring Rep. Kevin Cramer of North Dakota, who is running for the U.S. Senate against incumbent Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp. Cramer drew fire over the weekend after he asserted that the allegation of sexual assault against Brett Kavanaugh leveled by former classmate Dr. Christine […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The Compact Call Talk was heard this summer in water circles, of a scary scenario coming to pass should the rivers keep shrinking: A call under the 1922 Colorado River Compact, which parcels up the Colorado River (and its tributaries) among seven thirsty states, and divides its flows between “upper” and […]

After a swing through Eastern Colorado that turned into a running joke with turnout to campaign stops that could best be described as pitiful, GOP gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton is touring the Western Slope this weekend in hope of drawing crowds that have thus far been embarrassingly elusive.
