Local GOP Operatives (Still) Can’t Get Their Facts Straight

In response to contemporary political events both nationally and here in Colorado, Republican message operatives have started off the week…well, badly. We’ll take just a brief moment to correct two laughably inaccurate opinion pieces from the last 48 hours–the first being a column defending GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump at Glenn Beck’s The Blaze, penned […]

Roberts claims media made too big a deal of her contemplated run for U.S. Senate

(LOL – Promoted by Colorado Pols) View image | gettyimages.com Those of you who’ve been following the strange public downfall of State Sen. Ellen Roberts will thoroughly enjoy her interview last week on KNUS 710-AM. If you don’t know, Roberts quickly went from being a rarity in Colorado, a Great Republican Hope to defeat Democrat […]

2012 Miss Colorado Slams Donald Trump

Perennial Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has been making ugly headlines since the launch of his campaign, after remarks harshly disparaging Mexican immigrants to the United States provoked widespread outcry–which Trump has been only too happy to feed by doubling down on his statements. Other Republican candidates have ranged from teeing off Trump’s comments to […]

BREAKING: Morgan Carroll Runs For Congress

UPDATE #3: The campaign of Rep. Mike Coffman responds with a mind-numbingly lame message about Nancy Pelosi.

Republicans Find Senate Candidate Willing to Run in 2016…Sort Of

UPDATE: Longtime Colorado politicos may remember that Lopez ran for State Senate (SD-30) back in 2000 and lost to John Evans after a pretty meek campaign. —– Republicans have unearthed another candidate for U.S. Senate in 2016, as Lynn Bartels reports for the Denver Post blog “The Spot”: Greg Lopez, the former director of the Small Business Administration […]

GOP Donors Beg For Halt To Red-On-Red Infighting

The AP has a fascinating story up today about the increasingly nasty sniping between the growing gaggle of 2016 Republican presidential candidates, many of whom were recently in Denver for the Western Conservative Summit: Worried about “Republican on Republican violence,” top party donors are taking action, with one firing off a letter calling for more […]

Haters Gonna Hate (2016 Ballot Edition)

UPDATE: ThinkProgress reports, “traditional marriage” advocates may have gotten out a little over their proverbial skis this time: A proposed amendment to the Colorado constitution appears designed to eliminate same-sex marriages.

Fourth of July Weekend Open Thread

Vulnerable Mike Coffman Lays Low As Challenge Looms

For the last two weeks, a member of the Coffman family has dominated political headlines in Colorado, though not the Coffman most people think of. When we last left off with GOP Rep. Mike Coffman of Aurora, he was vowing to repeal Obamacare in the wake of last week’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling, and hurrying to […]

Republican Talk-Show Host Calls for “Investigation” of Cynthia Coffman

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE: In response to the request of a commentator, I asked Crank if he still holds the opinion below, which he expressed over two weeks ago. Here’s his response.

IUD Funding Not A Done Deal After All

UPDATE: Statement from Planned Parenthood Votes Colorado: It is disgraceful that Republican Colorado Senators this session voted to leave low-income teenagers and young women without access to contraception that will help them achieve their goals and stay financially independent. Funding for the program expired today – that leaves a huge gap for hundreds of thousands […]

Talk-show hosts should release multi-page document outlining accusations against House

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Denver talk-radio hosts should release a multi-page document, apparently prepared for last week’s Republican executive committee meeting, detailing concerns about Republican State Party Chair, Steve House. Tom Tancredo told KNUS 710-AM’s Peter Boyles Monday that House refused to let him or Pueblo Country GOP Chair Becky Mizel distribute the “three-to-four pages” to […]

Coffmangate: Let The Resignations Begin

Today, two principal figures in the Coffmangate extortion scandal announced their resignations from posts in the Colorado Republican Party, following the vote last week by the party’s executive committee 22-1 to support embattled chairman Steve House. The first resignation was that of elections crackpot activist Marilyn Marks, exiting the state GOP’s Elections Oversight Committee. From […]

Pinto resigns then whines

(Nice work if you can get it – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Since she left her job as communications director for the Jefferson County Schools, Lisa Pinto took the highly unusual step, for a low-level public relations professional (alleged), of actually whining about her tenure at Jeffco and drawing media attention to herself.

Tancredo says Republicans told him they were “scared” to vote against House

(No peace in our times – Promoted by Colorado Pols) After being banned, at least temporarily, from KLZ 560-AM last week, Tom Tancredo’s familiar voice spiced up the airwaves on KNUS 710-AM this morning, as he chatted with Peter Boyles about the (as of now) failed attempt to oust Steve House as GOP Party Chair. Tancredo […]

Cynthia Coffman Can’t Stop Copping To Blackmail

Last Friday’s overwhelming vote by the Colorado Republican Party executive committee to support embattled chairman Steve House was, depending on how you look at it, the worst development yet in a two-week nightmare of boomeranging disaster for Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman. Now that the coup attempt against House has failed to a complete extent even […]

Gay bashing filled the halls of the Western Conservative Summit

(As if they could help themselves – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Reporters covering the Western Conservative Summit did a good job spotlighting the gay bashing that filled the event over the weekend.
