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 […]
UPDATE (FRIDAY): Officials at the White House are reportedly looking at 12 potential authors of the Op-Ed. —– The anonymous Op-Ed published by the New York Times on Wednesday afternoon — you know, the one that absolutely demolishes President Trump — has people buzzing about the identity of the author (“who wrote the op ed” is a top […]
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 […]
