(Promoted by Colorado Pols) It's impossible to miss the irony: Lamar, the host community of Colorado's first commercial wind farm. A wind turbine blade exhibited proudly on Main Street, a testament to the coming 'New Energy Economy'. Colorado Green represented all that was good about an economy in the midst of an energy transition. A […]
UPDATE: The Colorado Independent's John Tomasic: Gardner is unlikely to come out ahead in the web war. His performance in his ad is stilted expository. He says he “changed his mind on personhood” but he hasn’t. He backed a slew of anti-abortion bills over the last decade and as an officeholder and he supported personhood […]
Governor John Hickenlooper has ascended the political ladder in Colorado with several parts of savvy politician mixed in with a folksy-schtickiness that, for the most part, has served him well. But as we pointed out last year, the "Hick Schtick" has been losing some of its power as Hickenlooper's political opponents learn how to use […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Rocky Mountain Gun Owners Super PAC has launched a radio ad calling GOP gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez "Both Ways Bob" for voting both ways on gun legislation. On her morning show this morning, KHOW's Mandy Connell was apparently the first media figure to question Beauprez about the ad's allegation that […]
UPDATE: That's that, folks–via the Denver Post's John Aguilar, so much for Robert Ramirez: BREAKING: Robert Ramirez, GOP contender for HD29 seat, has withdrawn from race. State party to meet in early July to name replacement #coleg — John Aguilar (@abuvthefold) June 19, 2014 —– A press release from the House Majority Project announces a complaint filed […]
As the Denver Post's Mark Matthews reports on today's vote by the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee in favor of building the Keystone XL pipeline, a vote on which Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado dissented: [M]embers of both parties have called the move a show vote because it’s widely believed that Senate Majority Leader Harry […]
We frequently discuss fundraising results here on Colorado Pols, because in politics, fundraising matters more than well…anything, really. You can have all the grassroots and volunteer support in the world, but as many a candidate has found, none of that really matters unless you have enough money to both run a campaign and reach out […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) It’s hard to miss this warning sign posted by the door as you enter the district office of Rep. Mike Coffman on South Parker Road. “The use of video recording devices, still cameras or digital recorders are NOT permitted inside the office.” You’d think this sign would insult reporters who stand […]
The Denver Business Journal’s Ed Sealover reports, not that there was ever much doubt, but for the record: None of Colorado’s four Republican gubernatorial candidates support Gov. John Hickenlooper’s current effort to give local governments more regulatory authority over drilling operations in exchange for U.S. Rep. Jared Polis yanking down his nine proposed regulatory ballot […]
WEDNESDAY UPDATE: MSNBC’s Steven Benen: There’s an old adage that’s been around in politics for a long time: if you’re explaining, you’re losing. In this case, Gardner is still explaining his support for Personhood measures, which would ban abortion and many forms of birth control. Unfortunately, though, the congressman’s explanation fails under minimal scrutiny. It’s […]
With one week remaining until next Tuesday's primary election, here's a poll of our registered users (click here to create an account if you don't have one already) on who will win the Colorado Republican gubernatorial primary: former Congressman Bob Beauprez, Secretary of State Scott Gessler, former state Sen. Mike Kopp, or former Congressman Tom Tancredo. For this […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) A candidate's religious or godless beliefs are too often ignored by the dwindling press, so we should be grateful to the radio hosts on KLZ AM-560 for giving candidates the chance to talk openly about how religion guides their lives and decisions. I mean, it's a public service to know that […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) An Associated Press article last week reported on the clashes between Sen. Mark Udall and his Republican opponent, Rep. Cory Gardner, on immigration issues. The AP piece, by Nicholas Riccardi, not only presents the two candidates' current positions on the topic but also adds info about what the one of the […]
As the Denver Post's Jordan Steffen reported from Adams County Court in Brighton yesterday: The Colorado attorney general's office defended the state's ban on gay marriage on Monday, arguing that 15 state and federal judges who have struck down similar measures in other states were wrong. But the judge hearing the case mocked the state's argument […]
It has become something of a tradition here at Colorado Pols for us to give you, our loyal readers, a live blog, play-by-play of interesting political debates in Colorado. So tonight's CD-5 Republican throw-down between Rep. Doug "The Brain" Lamborn and Bentley "That Military Guy" Rayburn seemed like an ideal debate opportunity to break out […]
As we've written about before in this space, a potential legislative compromise agreement on fracking safety, led by Gov. John Hickenlooper, is still being held up by business and oil and gas hardliners who seem content to try to bluff with a hand of mismatched cards. As the Denver Post reports today, that bluff just […]
Right Wing Watch updates on the campaign by disgraced former Navy chaplain turned anti-gay activist Gordon "Dr. Chaps" Klingenschmitt to win retiring Rep. Mark Waller's HD-15, an ultra-safe Colorado Springs Republican district: Next week, demon expert, anti-gay exorcist and all around crackpot Gordon Klingenschmitt will be on the ballot in the Colorado Republican primary for […]
An hilarious animated .GIF clip forwarded to us of Rep. Mike Coffman at Denver International Airport last Thursday: According to the source of this clip, Rep. Coffman was standing nonchalantly at his gate when the impulse grabbed him to drop and start doing…folks, would you actually call those pushups? There appears to be some debate on […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) On KVOR's Jeff Crank show last week, gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo announced his plan, if elected, to form a "10th Amendment Governor's Caucus," comprised of "like-minded governors" who would stand Tanc-like and "confront the federal government." Tancredo: Right now, there is a leaked memo from the Interior Department, in which they […]
Gun-rights activists and the Republican legislators who love them are crowing about news reports Friday from a meeting in Aspen of the County Sheriffs of Colorado, wherein Gov. John Hickenlooper reportedly apologized to the state's elected county sheriffs for the handling of the passage of new gun safety laws in the 2013 legislative session. As […]
The Denver Post's Lynn Bartels updates the state of play in the Colorado GOP gubernatorial primary, where top contenders Bob Beauprez and Tom Tancredo are running neck-and-neck in polls widely rumored but as yet unseen: With the primary election around the corner, Tom Tancredo said Friday he believes he has slipped from being the front-runner […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) After House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's crash, you naturally wonder which Republicans in Colorado's gubernatorial primary are out-of-the-closet tea partiers. Arguably, they're all closeted tea-party types, at a minimum, but who lets his tea-party flag fly? Colorado's gubernatorial race has been spotlighted nationally as the next big test of tea-party strength, […]
The Hill reports–it's true what you've heard! The Obamanation himself–coming to Colorado to help Sen. Mark Udall! What could it mean? Will they sacrifice babies and kittens to Allah? Will they stop your children from reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, and/or take away their salty, sugary snacks which is just as bad? Will they singlehandedly raise […]
UPDATE: A recall petition has been approved for circulation, press release from the El Paso County Clerk: 44,000 signatures is a very tall order, but the alleged malfeasance level here is pretty high too. So… —– A remarkable scene in Colorado Springs yesterday, as the Colorado Springs Gazette's Dave Phillips reports: Vicki Maketa, who has […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) I've been too busy listening to talk radio to notice news reports that talk radio anchored the defeat of GOP House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. Politico reported Wednesday: Brat’s surprise victory is a powerful reminder, as if any were needed, of the immense influence talk radio has over conservative politics — […]
