Two stories in the last 24 hours help explain why GOP U.S. Senate candidate Darryl Glenn faces an historic drubbing at the polls in November, likely faring much worse than Donald Trump at the top of Colorado’s ballot. As the Durango Herald’s Peter Marcus reports: In a Dec. 12, 2015 talk show interview – which recently […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) I am voting no on Amendment 71, otherwise known as “Raise the Bar,” a question that will be on your Colorado ballot that you will receive later this month. While Amendment 71 is being sold as a common sense reform package to the ballot initiative process, in reality, it’s nothing less […]
Some politicos think GOP Vice Presidential candidate Mike Pence could defeat Hillary Clinton if he were at the top of the Republican ticket. That’s silly. It’s time to Get More Smarter with Colorado Pols. If you think we missed something important, please include the link in the comments below (here’s a good example). If you are more of a visual […]
We were just forwarded this video clip showing an absolutely painful confrontation between Republican Rep. Clarice Navarro of Pueblo and an undocumented Latino living in Colorado–we don’t know exactly when or where this was filmed, but it’s pretty bad for her: We took the liberty of making an animated .GIF of the moment when Rep. […]
Welcome back to the Colorado Pols Pol’s Pols’ Editorial Department, where we use letters to form words and occasionally words to form sentences. After reading the very strange Denver Post endorsement of Congressman Scott Tipton, we got to thinking: Could we write an endorsement of Mike Coffman that didn’t really endorse Mike Coffman? After asking ourselves that question, we […]
We haven’t even made it through the first week of October, and voters are already being overwhelmed with campaign advertisements based on complete fabrications. You can read more here (and here, and here – and that’s just today), or check out this story from the Colorado Independent about walk pieces appearing in targeted districts with […]
(So much BS, so little time – Promoted by Colorado Pols) In a column that’s running across the country, syndicated writer Michelle Malkin incorrectly writes: Former Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler identified nearly 5,000 noncitizens in Colorado who voted in the 2010 general election. Gessler’s office uncovered upwards of 12,000 noncitizens registered to vote. […]
Rick Enstrom, one of the principals at Colorado’s famous Enstrom Candies and a dabbling Colorado Republican political figure, launched an independent expenditure committee for the 2016 election cycle called the Better Jobs Coalition–a committee with the mission of supporting candidates who “support job creation through economic development policies based on low taxes and limited government.” […]
A couple of weeks ago, we took note of a mail piece sent to an Aurora household attacking Democratic CD-6 candidate Morgan Carroll for supposedly voting “to make it easier to sue doctors and nurses providing free services.” The mail piece’s citation for this accusation was a long unidentified URL on the Colorado state legislative […]

As the Colorado Independent’s Corey Hutchins reports, it’s a milestone not seen by very many in Colorado politics today–and for the younger members of the political class, not even in their lifetimes: With two weeks until ballots drop in Colorado, new voter registration data show there are more registered Democrats than Republicans here for the […]

New Hampshire Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte is in the midst of a tough re-election fight. She faces Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan in one of the handful of remaining states that will ultimately decide which party controls the majority in 2017. On Monday, Ayotte made a high-profile verbal gaffe — which her campaign later clarified — about whether or not Donald Trump […]
UPDATE: Pete Maysmith at Conservation Colorado’s statement: This is just another example on the never-ending list of how wrong Trump is for Colorado and our values. From not being able to articulate a plan for protecting our public lands to saying he would appoint an oil executive to the Interior Department and now this, Trump […]
(Words mean things – Promoted by Colorado Pols) State Sen. Laura Woods (R-Arvada/Westminster) has, in part, focused her political career on trying to stop women from having access to an abortion, even if they were raped. Or even for a teen who was raped by her father. Woods’ unabashed goal is to eliminate a woman’s right to choose, […]

As we mentioned today in writing about the new Monmouth University poll, Senator Michael Bennet (D-Denver) continues to widen his polling lead over Republican challenger Darryl Glenn. According to Monmouth, Bennet now leads Glenn by an eye-popping 18-point margin (53-35), with Bennet picking up five more points since the last Monmouth poll in July. To put this in […]
UPDATE #4: Trump is trying hard in Pueblo to save his campaign from weekend stories showing that he may not have paid income taxes for nearly two decades: Trump: “I have legally used the tax laws to my benefit and to the benefit of my company” https://t.co/UYpqI3w42L https://t.co/bnETGBwDkN — CNN (@CNN) October 3, 2016 —– UPDATE […]
UPDATE: The Associated Press updates its own reporting with news that Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt was the lone dissenting vote among those at the Conference of Western Attorneys General. —– We noted earlier today that Democrat Gail Schwartz is reportedly demonstrating quite a surge in her race to defeat incumbent Rep. Scott Tipton (R-Cortez) in CO-3 (Western […]
UPDATE: 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark quips: Trump stop in Colorado after seeing those poll numbers. #OnToNevada #copolitics #9NEWS #HeyNext pic.twitter.com/UBrz1racuy — Kyle Clark (@KyleClark) October 3, 2016 —– A new poll from top-rated Monmouth University Polling Institute shows Colorado rapidly pulling out of reach for Republicans, as Donald Trump’s post-debate slide in the polls starts to […]

Back in August, we took Denver Post editorial board chair Chuck Plunkett to task over a factually off-base opinion piece, oddly imploring underperforming GOP U.S. Senate candidate Darryl Glenn to attack his Democratic opponent over the then-headline story of a supposed $400 million “ransom” (his choice of words) paid to Iran–monies paid “in exchange,” so the talk […]
The Pueblo Chieftain’s Peter Strescino reports on this week’s debate between Colorado House District 47 GOP incumbent Rep. Clarice Navarro and her Democratic opponent Jason Munoz. With Navarro having taken on a nationally prominent role as a Donald Trump surrogate, much attention was focused on this debate to see how her constituents would respond. If […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Going into Monday’s debate with Donald Trump, the 538 election model “now cast” of who would prevail if the election was held on that day based averages of state surveys, gave Trump at 47.9% chance of winning the Presidency on September 26 (with new data on that day still reflecting surveys taken […]
