Breaking news this morning from Joe St. George at Fox 31: Just in! Bachelor Ben is NOT running for office in Colorado per new statement. He had filed paperwork. #kdvr#kwgnpic.twitter.com/WTdVcHqEGw — Joe St. George (@JoeStGeorge) July 22, 2016 Thus ends the not-quite-weeklong State House candidacy of Ben “The Bachelor” Higgins. For voters in North Denver’s HD-4, this also means […]
As Eli Stokols reports for Politico, Donald Trump will try to go the “everyman” route in his speech tonight accepting the Republican nomination for President: Trump declares “I am your voice” throughout the speech. Blending Nixonian imagery of a dark, divided America and a messianic self-conception of himself as a great leader, the 70-year-old billionaire will accept the […]
Tonight in Cleveland at the Republican National Convention, Donald Trump will formally accept the GOP nomination for President (unless he doesn’t, which would be really interesting). Colorado Democrats aren’t waiting for Trump to make his intentions official to start lashing the GOP nominee — and his litany of questionable statements and policy ideas — to the side of […]
Journalists from mainstream media outlets are often harangued for showing some form of “bias” or conflict of interest in their reporting or writing. Accusations of bias appear often in the aftermath of political reporting, though such charges are often levied just as readily at sports and general news stories (supporters of sports teams in the Western U.S. […]

Republican Jefferson County Commissioner Libby Szabo was largely ignored during her brief appearance on stage at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland on Monday — she was also misidentified as a Colorado legislator — but at least she got to hang out with Chichi Chachi (damn you, autocorrect!) Scott Baio is 5’10” tall, if you were wondering.
As John Frank writes today for the Denver Post, Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) continues to dance around the idea of Donald Trump as the GOP Presidential nominee: Pressed on whether he will vote for Trump, Gardner said “I will say this — I certainly will not be voting for Hillary Clinton.” Asked whether he would just not vote, he […]

CNN.com is running a front-page graphic comparing Melania Trump’s speech with Michelle Obama’s 2008 remarks. —– The big story swirling after yesterday’s Night 1 of the Trump Republican National Convention in Cleveland has a familiar ring: Donald […]
TUESDAY UPDATE: Westword’s Michael Roberts: The most prominent Coloradan on the official program — Darryl Glenn, the El Paso County Commissioner running against Michael Bennet for the U.S. Senate seat — received a lot less attention, even though he referred to himself as having a “nice tan.” Glenn was scheduled to speak at 7:41 p.m. […]
The Republican National Convention (RNC) kicked off today in Cleveland with some delegates still trying to figure out a way to challenge to the Republican Presidential nomination of Donald Trump.

(Stay classy! – Promoted by Colorado Pols) In a Facebook post Wednesday, Adams County Republican chair John Sampson called Black Lives Matter “Punk Ass Bitches,” but in an interview the next day, he said he was only referring to those “who assault us, who burn, who loot, or who destroy property, because they’re having a […]

FRIDAY UPDATE #3: Colorado LGBT political leaders respond to Gov.
