UPDATE: The Denver Post’s John Frank: Sandy Phillips, the mother of Jessica Ghawi, who died in the attack, issued a statement saying “this recording shows the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” “This recording goes beyond politics — it’s disturbing and painful,” Phillips said in a statement released by Democrat Hillary Clinton’s campaign. “We’ve […]
(What the…? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) With Colorado’s largest media outlets (TV and print) mostly AWOL when it comes to covering the most important race in the state this election season, we’re left to talk radio hosts, bloggers, and other shoe-string entities to offer voters the basic information they need to vote and understand what’s […]
We’ve talked a number of times about a specific line of attack targeting Democratic SD-19 candidate Rachel Zenzinger, falsely alleging that Zenzinger had “voted to use taxpayer money on a trip to China” while serving as an Arvada city councillor. As Politifact Colorado and every other objective look at this accusation has found, it’s completely false: […]
If you are a Republican or a supporter of Senate candidate Darryl Glenn, here’s the good news: Glenn isn’t losing by 20 points (yet). Just one week after Glenn laughably claimed that he was running in a “virtual tie” with Senator Michael Bennet (D-Denver), Quinnipiac University released new polling data on Colorado’s Senate race that pretty much confirms what […]
If the 2016 election is as rigged as Donald Trump claims, can we just go ahead and declare Hillary Clinton the winner and save everyone a few weeks of yammering? 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 […]
New polling numbers out today from oft-questioned national pollster Quinnipiac University show what everyone expects to see right now: Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton expanding her lead over Republican Donald Trump: Independent likely voters shift to Democrat Hillary Clinton, giving her the lead over Republican Donald Trump in the critical swing states of Colorado, Florida, […]
(Par for the course — Promoted by Colorado Pols) State Sen. Laura Woods (R-Arvada) has forgiven Trump for his comments about sexually assaulting women, according to an Associated Press story today, raising more questions for local media about the impact of Trump’s candidacy on Woods’ state senate race that will likely determine whether Democrats flip […]

UPDATE #3: Via the Boulder Daily Camera: Donald Trump Jr.’s campaign appearance in Boulder this afternoon has been moved from The Sink to a commercial space on Pearl Street after the owner of the University Hill restaurant complained he had been unaware of the event. The event is now scheduled to take place at 4:30 […]
CNN reports–GOP U.S. Senate candidate Darryl Glenn, after joining the chorus of Republicans calling for Donald Trump to withdraw from the presidential race, then declaring he would not even vote for Trump, then claiming to have been sufficiently impressed by Trump’s second debate performance to be “reconsidering,” then saying in a debate last week that […]
As the Washington Post reports, two Team Blue favorites are headed to town to pitch for Hillary Clinton: The event in Denver, Sanders said in an interview, will be an opportunity “to make the case to the progressive community that it is absolutely imperative for [Republican nominee] Donald Trump to be defeated.” But Sanders, the […]
So, uh…this seems unlikely: Darryl Glenn’s campaign said it outraised Democrat Michael Bennet in Q3 with $2.8M in donations. $1.9M in COH. #copolitics #cosen — John Frank (@ByJohnFrank) October 14, 2016 FWIW … Bennet says he has $3.6M COH headed into final weeks of #cosen race. #copolitics https://t.co/YONr59U4cB — John Frank (@ByJohnFrank) October 14, 2016 […]
As Republicans across the nation continue to grapple with the explosive controversies that have rocked GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump since the beginning of October, a story in Politico today has responses to the scandal from both the current and immediate former Colorado Republican Party chairmen. The difference in their responses, we think, speaks volumes: […]
Over the last couple of years, the fight in the Colorado General Assembly over funding a highly successful program to provide long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) to low-income and young women in Colorado has been a major political flashpoint. Republicans in the legislature have proven highly resistant to funding the program despite an estimated 40% drop in […]

Newspaper endorsements do not carry the same weight with voters that they once did. Editorial language often gets so watered-down that readers must squint between the lines as much as focusing on the printed words. Endorsements can be so deferential to both candidates that the headline is the only real clue as to what message an editorial board […]
UPDATE: As reported by Ernest Luning and the Denver Post’s John Frank, Rep. Clarice Navarro wants you to know she is still on the Trump Train: State Rep. Clarice Navarro, a Pueblo Republican who has advised Trump on how to reach out to Latino voters, did not sign the letter. But she issued a statement that […]
Republican Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) and Democratic state Sen.

Wednesday’s debate was live-streamed online, and the video is still available on YouTube, so we’re watching it ourselves and providing you the blow-by-blow details. […]

Earlier this week we took note of a sharp rebuke of Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump by Bill Owens, the last Republican to serve as Governor in Colorado. As longtime Colorado political journalist Ernest Luning Tweets this morning, Colorado Republicans are scrambling to convince legislative campaigns across the state to ignore the rebuke from Owens: .@cologop sources say #coleg […]
Late last month, CBS4 Denver’s Brian Maass ran a story that’s been stirring a great deal of alarm among the right wing’s perennial “vote fraud” conspiracy theorists–a report that identified a handful of cases, in which voters in Colorado who were deceased had votes cast in their name: A CBS4 investigation has found multiple cases […]

A new mail piece arriving in Senate District 19 mailboxes is provoking spit-takes from recipients in the know. The positive-message mailer originates from Republican state Sen. Laura Waters Woods’ own campaign, with one particular quote attributed a Woods supporter constituent standing out: Woods’ mail piece celebrates an alleged moment in which she helped an elderly couple qualify […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) “Unhappy with Trump? Want to Write In Pence? It Doesn’t Work That Way.” That’s the title of a story by Colorado Public Radio’s Ryan Warner, who did a nice job fact checking U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner Monday, reporting that if Gardner writes in the name of Mike Pence as his pick […]
The first — and only — televised debate in Colorado’s U.S. Senate race takes place tonight at the History Colorado Center in downtown Denver (hosted by 9News). Democratic Sen.
