FRIDAY UPDATE: They fixed it. —– Are you a Jefferson County voter planning to cast your ballot before Election Day on November 6, 2018? Then you might want to let Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder Faye Griffin in on a little secret: It’s not 2019. Readers of this site and one of our local spinoffs, […]
This morning, former congressman and controversial supporter of Republican gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton, Tom Tancredo, went on the Peter Boyles Show to address the recent controversy over a fundraiser Tancredo headlined for Stapleton’s campaign. Tancredo’s high-profile support for Stapleton has turned seriously problematic after local reporters questioned Stapleton’s repudiation of his own family ties to […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado’s Republican candidate for governor won’t say if he’d sign legislation making abortions illegal or harder to get in Colorado. “I’m not going to get into a bunch of hypotheticals on a particular piece of legislation. Roe v. Wade is the law of the land. We’ll see what happens in future,” […]

(In other words, we’re a few days away from Coffman praising anonymity — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Congressman Mike Coffman bashed the New York Times this morning for publishing an opinion piece, written by an anonymous “senior” Trump official who was aiming to spotlight the dangers posed by the president. The Times should “probably […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: As the Denver Post reports, HD-12 GOP nominee David Reid Ross has decided to, as they say, spend more time with his family. A Republican running for the Colorado House has dropped out after his personal alt-right blog became public knowledge… Ross told The Denver Post he submitted his withdrawal paperwork to the Secretary […]
UPDATE (4:00 pm): Trump responds to the anonymous Op-Ed much like you would probably expect. From Politico: The president addressed the op-ed directly in comments made in the East Room, calling it an “anonymous, meaning gutless, gutless editorial.” “So when you tell me about some anonymous source within the administration, probably who’s failing and probably […]
With the 2018 campaign season now officially underway, we are noticing quickly that the high volume of bad press for Republican gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton we are obliged to cover in this space is taking up a significant amount of time and homepage space. Much in the way that bad news for Donald Trump tends […]

UPDATE: She’s an incumbent running for re-election, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t include in this post a mention for Sen. Kerry Donovan of Vail, who is similarly crushing her Republican opponent Olen Lund in fundraising totals: $147,525 for Donovan to a mere $13,175 for Lund. For a seat considered competitive, this is another ominous […]
The Pueblo Chieftain’s Peter Roper ran a story over the long weekend that we have to say we’re not surprised a bit to see–GOP Rep. Scott Tipton, looking nervously at the difficult midterm election that awaits him, and wondering if it just might not be a bad idea to at least, you know, maybe think […]
Normally we would post this poll on Monday, but the Labor Day weekend means that we’re moving our regular query one day later. Otherwise, the rules of this game are simple: 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 […]
UPDATE: CNN’s Chris Cillizza breaks down what we know about Woodward’s upcoming book and what it says about President Trump: Yes, it’s as bad as you thought it was. Maybe worse. That’s the unmistakable message about President Donald Trump and his administration from the early pieces of Bob Woodward’s chronicle — titled “Fear: Trump in the White […]
Last Friday night, GOP gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton held a fundraiser at a private home in Parker featuring former gube candidate and Congressman Tom Tancredo. We haven’t yet seen any long-form news coverage of this fundraiser yet, though Stapleton’s continuing embrace of Tancredo is becoming a significant news event in its own right–tripping Stapleton up […]
The murder of Iowa college student Mollie Tibbetts in mid-July of this year has provided another emotional flashpoint in the long-running debate over immigration law in the United States, a debate that Donald Trump purposefully inflamed for his own political gain in 2016 and is raging at fever pitch as the 2018 midterm elections quickly […]
We are obliged to take note of a story from late last week with some import on Colorado’s perennially most competitive congressional race, for incumbent Rep. Mike Coffman’s swing CD-6 seat–as CBS4 Denver reports, the powerful Koch brothers have omitted Coffman from their list of candidates they and their wealthy “liberservative” friends will be lavishing […]
In late 2017, the Republican-controlled Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decided to murder “Net Neutrality” in a 3-2 party-line vote. Efforts have been ongoing to get Congress to override the FCC’s decision, but the lack of movement in Washington D.C. means that it probably falls to individual states to prevent Internet service providers from creating “slow […]
For a few weeks, we’ve been asking Colorado Pols readers to project the eventual winner of the race for Governor. We’ll ask again next week, but today we want to dive into the other big statewide races. As always, we want to know who you think will be the winner in these races, not who you support […]

We took note earlier this month of a visit by GOP attorney general candidate George Brauchler to Pueblo, a city hit hard by the crisis over addition to opioid painkillers and who recently joined a nationwide lawsuit against pharmaceutical companies over years of abusive overprescription and unchecked illicit diversion. With all of that in mind, […]
FOX 31’s Joe St. George has been doing a good job this year with a series of “Truth Check” fact-checks (everybody’s got their brand) on political ads running in Colorado. St. George’s latest effort last night takes a critical look at an ad running against Republican gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton criticizing his attendance record at the […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) After months of silence, Colorado Treasurer and Republican candidate for governor Walker Stapleton is finally trying to address the news coverage of his family’s racist Klan legacy.
