(Got that, punks? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) In a parting jab at the Colorado delegates who tried to derail Trump’s nomination last week, Colorado Trump Campaign Director Patrick Davis called the group “insignificant going forward,” and he said as of last week, there is “no light between the Donald Trump Campaign and the Colorado […]
Here are some early excerpts from Hillary Clinton’s speech tonight at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia: “America is once again at a moment of reckoning. Powerful forces are threatening to pull us apart. Bonds of trust and respect are fraying. And just as with our founders there are no guarantees. It’s truly is up to us. […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Donald Trump will reach out to “all candidates who were with [Trump] early” Colorado Trump campaign director Patrick Davis told radio listeners Wednesday. “It’s a brave thing to be a Trump supporter early in Colorado,” Davis told KNUS 710-AM’s Peter Boyles. One of the first candidates in Colorado to support Trump […]
We wrote yesterday about a fresh and by all accounts self-inflicted problem for GOP U.S. Senate candidate Darryl Glenn, responding to decades-old court records about an assault charge against the candidate that was quickly dropped. A case that, once again, wouldn’t be a problem at all if Glenn hadn’t been dishonest about it. As the Denver […]

A reader sent us this fascinating photo of former Colorado Sen. Ted Harvey, now a principal at the controversial Stop Hillary PAC, appearing at last week’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland: So, we’re a little confused about the mixed messages Sen. Harvey is displaying–a T-shirt that says “Straight Outta Options,” in reference to the presumed undesirability of […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Rep. Mike Coffman has purged his official website of an article showing his support of the anti-LGBT “don’t-ask-don’t-tell” policy, which allowed gays to serve in the military only if they kept their sexual orientation secret. At least until June 14, Coffman’s “Media Center” section of his website displayed a Feb. 3, 2010, […]
Ernest Luning of the Colorado Statesman has some fascinating details on Donald Trump’s planned visit to Colorado Springs on Friday. It seems that the Colorado Republican Party is still on Trump’s shit list: Ticket prices range from $2,700 per person for the reception alone to $10,000 per couple for the reception and a photograph with Trump […]

There’s really no other way to put this: Donald Trump is actively encouraging Russia to help him defeat Hillary Clinton for President. From the New York Times: Donald J. Trump said Wednesday that he hoped Russia had hacked Hillary Clinton’s email, essentially encouraging an adversarial foreign power’s cyberspying on a secretary of state’s correspondence. “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope […]
Colorado Republicans are furious with the Denver Post’s Joey Bunch, over a story published late yesterday casting doubt on statements made by Republican U.S. Senate candidate Darryl Glenn regarding a decades-old alleged altercation with his father (now deceased): On a November night in 1983, Colorado Springs police answered a call from a father who said he […]
We’ve known since last week that Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper would be speaking at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, but until today, we didn’t know when. As the Denver Post reports, Hick has been handed one of the most desirable time slots of the entire convention: He won’t be introducing Hillary Clinton, but Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper […]
Well, that sucks. Scott Turner is a Republican who narrowly lost to Longinos Gonzales, Jr. in the June 28th Primary for El Paso County Commissioner (District 4). The final tally had Gonzales winning by just 34 votes — a tantalizingly narrow margin that nevertheless fell outside of the window for an automatic recount conducted at county expense. But […]
A press release from Conservation Colorado yesterday throws support behind Initiative 75, the statewide ballot measure campaign that would enshrine rights of local communities to better control oil and gas development within their boundaries: Conservation Colorado today endorsed Initiative #75, the ballot measure entitled “Local Government Authority to Regulate Oil and Gas Development.” Conservation Colorado Executive […]
Let’s start by saying unequivocally that we don’t condone vandalism, against politicians or anybody else. As you can see in the photo above being circulated by Republican Sen. Laura Waters Woods’ campaign, somebody vandalized one of her yard signs being displayed on the fence of an Arvada constituent earlier this month. And if you’re to the left of […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) With Colorado Trump campaign manager Patrick Davis relying on the “robust operations” of the Colorado Republican party, it’s particularly newsworthy that GOP county and district officials are resigning from their elected positions and leaving the party. In the past week, Patrick Crowder, vice chair of the Rio Grande Republican Party, and […]
The short-lived candidacy of Ben “The Bachelor” Higgins made for an interesting story last week, but it was not the kind of news that we thought we’d still be talking about today. Yet while Higgins’ official candidacy is finished after he withdrew from HD-4 last week, the conspiracy theories continue to grow. The GOP is working hard […]
(Check out the update — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Update: After seeing the comments attacking Denver Post editorial page editor Chuck Plunkett, I asked him to comment on my blog post below. I regret not seeking comment from him before posting, but here’s what Plunkett said via email: Gardner has called for acting on immigration […]
We’ve talked a couple of times already about the starkly conservative platform adopted last week at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. Where the GOP’s official party platform addressed rights for LGBT Americans, as ratified it was so far backward relative to the evolution of national sentiment on the issue that Colorado’s Republican attorney general pronounced herself “ashamed” […]
Rep. Crisanta Duran, the Majority Leader of the Democratic-controlled Colorado House, scored a big coup with her scheduled address to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia this coming Thursday. The Denver Post’s Joey Bunch reports: [A]lthough she received only a week’s notice to prepare the biggest speech of her political career so far, Duran’s past […]
A press release from Colorado Families for a Fair Wage announces their submission of over 200,000 petition signatures in support of their ballot measure to raise the minimum wage in Colorado to $12 an hour by 2020–more than double what was needed to qualify for the ballot in November: Today, a coalition of business owners, workers […]

The New York Times reports on the selection of Sen. Tim Kaine as Democratic presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton’s running-mate: beating out a number of other “finalist” contenders including Gov. John Hickenlooper of Colorado: Hillary Clinton named Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia to be her running mate Friday, selecting a battleground-state politician with working-class roots and […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In his new autobiography, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper offers lots of kind thoughts about journalism, which has served him well, but he doesn’t give the Rocky Mountain News the credit it deserves for launching his political career. If you were around in 2003, you know that an early Rocky endorsement of […]
