After a highly-publicized incident last weekend in which Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton left a 9/11 commemoration ceremony in New York City and was later observed needing assistance getting into a vehicle to leave the scene, Clinton’s campaign announced that the candidate has been diagnosed with pneumonia and will be resting more over the coming […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Ken Buck and other House Republicans are using the Zika crisis to advance their anti-choice, anti-woman agenda. And, as is often the case, he is blaming the Democrats. Congressman Buck is already on record as opposing abortion in cases of rape and incest. Now, the House version of the Zika bill, […]
El Paso County Commissioner Darryl Glenn is a terrible candidate for the U.S. Senate. This should come as no surprise to anybody who has watched Glenn sputter along despite his relatively-easy victory in the June Primary, but Glenn is approaching an entirely new level of political ineptitude. Move over, Bob Beauprez (2006) and Scott McInnis (2010). Darryl Glenn is about […]
The Colorado Independent’s Susan Greene blows the lid off what could be a most damaging story in Colorado House District 3, the open swing-district race between Democrat Jeff Bridges and his Republican opponent Katy Brown: Katy Brown, the Republican vying for Colorado’s highly competitive House District 3 seat, touts her experience as a web developer, […]
There are few treats we enjoy as summer comes to a close more than a juicy, delicious peach from the orchards of Palisade, Colorado near Grand Junction. But via Reddit, something worth noting was brought to our attention last weekend: Palisade Produce, which runs public tours on their 85-acre peach farm just off Interstate 70 […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The Colorado Independent’s Corey Hutchins took a risk last week and tried figure out U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman’s stance on a very specific immigration issue. If you’re a reporter, you know that’s going to cause a serious headache before you start, because it’s so hard to sort out where Coffman stands […]

UPDATE: State Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg obliviously re-tweeted the image (which has since been changed by Baumgardner — or someone who understands the Internet Tubes better than Baumgardner). Always great to have a better understanding of our water issues. #coleg https://t.co/ca43b6sjrt — Jerry Sonnenberg (@JerrySonnenberg) September 12, 2016 —– If you are uploading a picture to your […]
We were forwarded this ad running in Arvada and Westminster’s Senate District 19 in support of Sen. Laura “Waters” Woods, hard-right Republican up for early re-election this year after narrowly winning a special election in 2014. It would be difficult to come up with a campaign advertisement that was more blatantly false than this one: Notice […]
The Sphere, FDNY Memorial Wall, 9/11 Memorial. All photos by Colorado Pols On this day of reflection 15 years after the worst terrorist attack in American history, that’s our question for discussion today–are we safer today than we were on September 11th, 2001? Politics dictates the answer for some, but not for all. And not […]
GOP Rep. J. Paul Brown, running for re-election in Southwest Colorado’s HD-59, was delighted last month to see one of “our” yard signs on display in the district: The problem with Brown referring possessively to this sign as his own are the words you can barely make out in the lower right of this photo–where the […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) On KNUS 710-AM yesterday, U.S. Rep. Ken Buck accused U.S. Senate Democrats of holding up funds to fight the Zika virus. Buck: “Senate Democrats filibustered that bill. They wanted more money for Planned Parenthood for abortions related to the Zika virus.” In fact, Senate Democrats did not want more money for […]
A photo from this week’s campaign swing through Denver by Donald Trump, Junior: According to his Tweet, Trump Junior showed up at Platte River Networks looking for (you guessed it) Hillary Clinton’s emails! Upon discovering that emails aren’t thrown away in dumpsters or stored in any, you know, physically observable way, we assume he left–but […]
UPDATE: From Gail Schwartz’s campaign via the Twitters: Let’s get 2 things clear: I deeply respect miners & families, & attacks on me won’t bring jobs back https://t.co/Hj95wXSwpm @coloradopols — GailForCongress (@GailForCongress) September 9, 2016 —– As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports, GOP incumbent Rep. Scott Tipton is feeling the heat from Democratic challenger […]
As Joey Bunch writes for the Denver Post today, the campaign for Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) is running a new radio ad attacking Democratic opponent Morgan Carroll for, um, having an occupation outside of politics. Coffman’s campaign is spending $45,000 on radio ads to deliver this message: “Search for yourself: Morgan Carroll, state senator… and Morgan Carroll, personal injury lawyer… […]

We’ve been keeping track of fundraising numbers for state legislative races as they become available. In the latest round of available finance reports (through 9/6/16), Democrats continue to outraise Republicans by a significant margin. For this round of reporting, we organized the numbers based on total contributions during the last reporting period (August, basically). As […]
We’ll post a more comprehensive look at newly-released fundraising numbers for Colorado legislative races covering the period of July 28-August 31, but we wanted to start with a race that Republicans shouldn’t be worried about–but thanks to a uniquely strong Democratic candidate with a compelling background, a seat that’s in play: SD 27 Tom Sullivan […]
Via the Colorado Tea Party Patriots, Colorado Christian University and Tom Tancredo’s Team America PAC are joining forces to host none other than Pamela Gellar, a nationally known anti-Islamic commentator, to speak at the university on the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks this coming Sunday: The Team America PAC is bringing Pamela Geller […]

NBC news featured both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in a “Commander-in-Chief” televised townhall event on Wednesday. As Reuters reports, one of the bigger moments of the evening came when Trump heaped praise on Russian President Vladimir Putin: Donald Trump declared on Wednesday that Russia’s Vladimir Putin had been a better leader than U.S. President Barack Obama, as the Republican […]

As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports, they’ll have three podiums on stage for next Saturday’s Club 20 U.S. Senate debate in Grand Junction–a development that might make the night’s nominal marquee event, well, more interesting than it was: Thanks to a slight increase in the number of registered Libertarians statewide last month, the […]
As the Denver Business Journal’s Ed Sealover reports, polling numbers out from GOP-aligned Magellan Strategies spell good news for Amendment 70, the ballot measure to raise the state’s minimum wage–and bad news for Amendment 69, the ColoradoCare single-payer health insurance proposal: A constitutional amendment to raise Colorado’s minimum wage holds a 13-point lead in the […]
A press release from Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s Colorado campaign announces a new group of Republican advocates for her election over Donald Trump–the “Ralph Carr Republicans,” named after a Colorado Republican governor whose compassion made him a hero long after his political career was over: Tomorrow, Wednesday, September 7, Hillary for Colorado will launch Together for […]
