The Democratic Governor’s Association (DGA) cracks on the above photo from the Sterling Journal-Advocate, featuring GOP gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton and a precious two attendees at Stapleton’s campaign stop in the northeastern Colorado town Monday: Walker Stapleton’s enthusiasm gap can be summed up in one photo. When he visited Sterling, Colorado, on Monday, he drew […]
As the East Coast prepares to face the wrath of Hurricane Florence — predicted to be one of the most powerful storms to hit the United States in decades — President Trump decided it would be a good idea to publicly dispute reports that thousands of Puerto Ricans died as a result of Hurricane Maria in […]
An interesting new polling method being tried out by the New York Times and Siena College is tracking results of a survey of Colorado’s CD-6 in real time–and the results they’re showing as of now are not good news for Rep. Mike Coffman: Now before Democrats get too excited, here’s the deal: Most experts consider […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In a radio interview this morning, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) responded directly to former President Barack Obama’s point in a speech last week that the U.S. economy had turned around in 2015 and 2016, not during the Trump presidency. “Look, when President Obama was in office, businesses were afraid to invest,” Gardner told […]
(Smashing choice of words – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Former Colorado Senate President John Andrews created a mini-frenzy on Twitter yesterday, when he wrote that Walker Stapleton, Colorado’s Republican candidate for governor, told a luncheon crowd of 20 “faith leaders” that Stapleton would be “pro-life, pro-family, and pro-religious freedom.” “I saw this thing spiraling away […]
We’ve asked you, our wise readers, to weigh in on the outcome of the race for Governor, and we’ve asked for your opinions on the other top statewide races in 2018. Now it’s time to get Congressional. As always, we want to know who you think will be the winner in November, not who you support […]
AP reports via CBS4 Denver: Top Colorado Democrats on Tuesday accused the Trump administration of rushing to open public lands to oil and gas drilling without giving the public nearly enough time to comment. In letters to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, Sen. Michael Bennet and Gov. John Hickenlooper also asked the government not […]
We forgot to post our weekly poll on the Governor’s race on Monday, so here it is. Tell us who you THINK is going to win the race for Governor. Remember, we’re looking for your best educated guess on the outcome of this race, not who you support or who you would prefer to see […]
Democrat @JaredPolis doesn’t want #Colorado voters to know that he avoided paying taxes with an offshore Cayman Island account. Watch the TV ad that Polis is desperate for you not to see. #COpolitics pic.twitter.com/nqMn6k97pe — The RGA (@The_RGA) September 12, 2018 A new-ish ad running from the Republican Governor’s Association (RGA) (above) attacks Democratic gubernatorial […]
Here’s President Trump arriving at the Flight 93 Memorial today in Pennsylvania: We don’t even know what to say about this.
We’ve already discussed Saturday’s Attorney General debate hosted by Club 20 in Grand Junction, in which Republican George Brauchler was absolutely dismantled by Democrat Phil Weiser (read our Debate Diary for more). Brauchler refused to answer several important questions, including a query about his prior remarks opposing Roe v. Wade that drew boos from the assembled […]

UPDATE: From NARAL Pro Choice Colorado: “On behalf of our 56,000 members statewide, NARAL thanks Senator Bennet for reflecting Colorado voters and values with a no vote on Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination. Senator Bennet is absolutely correct – Judge Kavanaugh is a threat to our reproductive rights and represents a direct threat to gut and overturn […]
A story we’ve addressed a few times in this space saw a big update late last week, as outgoing Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman announced the state will indeed sue Purdue Pharma, the manufacturer of OxyContin opioid painkillers linked to a dramatic rise in overdoses and thousands of preventable deaths in the last two decades. […]
The race for Attorney General is one of the more important jobs on the ballot in November, but it has generally been overlooked thanks to the Governor’s race and the meltdown in the White House. We’re here to rectify that…at least a little bit. On Saturday the candidates for AG battled it out in a […]
In addition to the memorable debate between candidates for CD-3 at this weekend’s Club 20 event in Grand Junction we discussed earlier today, another noteworthy forum featuring the candidates for Colorado attorney general, Republican George Brauchler and Democratic candidate Phil Weiser, laid out a stark contrast that every voter in Colorado should take the time […]

As the Glenwood Springs Post-Independent’s Matthew Bennett reports, the Democratic candidate running in CD-3, former state Rep. Diane Mitsch Bush, surprised attendees at this weekend’s Club 20 candidates debates with a strong performance that called out incumbent Rep. Scott Tipton on a broad range of issues relevant to the district: Club 20, billed as the […]
Denver7’s Blair Miller took a deep dive Friday into one of many controversies being argued out in the Colorado governor’s race. For years since Republican nominee Walker Stapleton was elected Treasurer, it has been persistently rumored that Stapleton’s personal attendance at his office inside the Capitol is very poor. This was long known anecdotally, but […]
If you’ve been alive this week, you are surely aware that Donald Trump’s Presidency is imploding from within while the Big Orange Guy storms around the White House looking for traitors to his one-man cause. Trump’s approval ratings were in the toilet well before this dumpster fire of a week, and as Paul Waldman writes for the Washington Post, that […]
A decade ago, national media accountability organization Media Matters For America operated a short-lived state affiliate test project known as Colorado Media Matters. Though only in operation for a few years, CMM documented a tremendous volume of right-wing nuttery on local talk radio–enough to provide a window into a fringe culture that many Americans are […]

David O. Williams writes for the Vail Daily: Gov. John Hickenlooper this week endorsed the campaign of fellow Democrat Diane Mitsch Bush, as Mitsch Bush, a former state representative and Routt County commissioner, tries to unseat four-term Republican U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton, of Cortez, in the Tuesday, Nov. 6, general election. “I’m proud to endorse […]
