UPDATE: Littleton will do just fine with many on the far right of the political spectrum, particularly when echoing her concerns about the “homosexual agenda.” —– So far in 2016, a Colorado Republican has announced a U.S. Senate campaign about once every five days. Today, by our count, we have surpassed double-digits in the list of […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) After President Obama’s State of the Union Address, KOA host April Zesbaugh gave Rep. Mike Coffman another chance to offer a thought or two about Donald Trump, when she pointed out that Obama had talked “little bit about ignoring political hot air, likely a comment about Donald Trump or maybe Ted […]

The Denver Broncos will host the New England Patriots on Sunday for the right to play in Super Bowl 50. We thought it would be a good time to remind our readers in Colorado that New England quarterback Tom Brady is a YUGE fan of Republican Presidential frontrunner Donald Trump.
IMPORTANT POLICY CHANGE: If you live in Colorado and have been a registered Republican for about a year, Colorado Pols will henceforth assume you are running for U.S. Senate in 2016 until we hear otherwise. Okay, we’re kidding…sort of. As John Frank reports for the Denver Post, Colorado Republicans will have yet another candidate seeking the GOP […]

The Oregonian is reporting: BURNS – Protesters holding the bird sanctuary southeast of here want every county in the U.S. to start a process giving back federal land to the previous owners. They expect that process to start in […]
On Wednesday, Senate President Bill Cadman (R-Colorado Springs) evoked the notions of compromise and collaboration in his opening day speech at the State Capitol: “Performing our duties to the best of our abilities means finding the best solutions. Leadership means finding solutions. It’s not about partisan solutions. President Kennedy once said, ‘Let us not seek the Republican […]
Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump has picked up a remarkable percentage of support in the last 10 months (since he first announce he would run for President).

And then there were…seven? Or is it eight? Republican businessman Robert Blaha finally announced his U.S. Senate campaign today after months of fooling around. Blaha “announced” back in September that he would eventually “announce” that he was running for Senate, and here we are at last. John Frank (again) has the news for the Denver Post: Republican Robert […]
Former Aurora City Council member Ryan Frazier is a funny guy sometimes, though not necessarily on purpose. From John Frank at the Denver Post: Ryan Frazier says he is the early front-runner in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate in Colorado, a wide-open contest to challenge Democrat Michael Bennet. The former TV political analyst and Aurora councilman released an […]

With the right algorithm, you can calculate almost anything correctly. Using the correct combination of data and logic, a statistical junkie can crunch numbers to make fairly-accurate predictions and analysis about everything from NFL games to business profits and losses. Politics is different. You can gather all the data you want about politics, but it’s […]

We wrote earlier in our 2015 top stories recap about Sen. Cory Gardner’s audacious flip-flop on abortion in the 2014 U.S. Senate election, and how the defense of Gardner by a large segment of Colorado’s political press and pundit corps was discredited in 2015 as Gardner repeatedly cast votes that made liars of his defenders.

Freshman state Rep. Jon Keyser formally launched his campaign for U.S. Senate on Monday. It was quite an inauspicious start for the half-term lawmaker from Morrison. As Peter Marcus reports for the Durango Herald, Keyser’s campaign wasn’t even a few hours old before Keyser ran into trouble over his own words: ProgressNow Colorado on Monday filed a complaint with the Judge […]
Republican critics of Republican Presidential frontrunner Donald Trump have often used some variation of the line that “Trump won’t be the nominee” as an excuse to avoid offering an opinion on some of the more bombastic statements from His Hairness. Congressman Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) — who for some reason is absolutely terrified of saying anything about Trump — has used […]

Would give Bennet a very strong challenge […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In a blog post last year, I showed that Rep. Mike Coffman has voted a total of six times to defund Planned Parenthood, a move that would stop 2,200 low-income women from going to the Planned Parenthood clinic in Coffman’s own Aurora district. Then last week, Coffman voted again to defund the women’s […]
