THURSDAY UPDATE: AP via 9NEWS: A Denver judge has rejected Secretary of State Scott Gessler's appeal in an ethics complaint. Colorado's Independent Ethics Commission admonished Gessler for using state funds for travel to a GOP elections law conference in Florida in 2012. While there, Gessler also attended the GOP national convention, for which he used […]
Chateau d'Beauprez, Lafayette, CO. Here's a clip of audio from 2006 2014 GOP gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez's interview with radio host Jimmy Sengenberger that had us blowing soda out our nose when we got it yesterday evening: Transcript–this clip comes just after Beauprez decries new emission standards passed by Gov. John Hickenlooper's Air Quality Control Commission. […]
Bill Tucker, Chairman of the Jefferson County Republican Party, is trying to push back against claims by Dudley Brown and his Rocky Mountain Gun Owners (RMGO) that County Party Officials are hostile to volunteers for RMGO-backed candidates (and a host of other charges). At least, that's what we thought Tucker was doing until…well, let's just […]
El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Wayne Williams is having a bit of trouble with his campaign for Secretary of State. In his first full fundraising quarter as a candidate for SOS, Williams reported just $8,572…in the bank. He raised around $11k in total in Q4 as the only Republican candidate for SOS. Williams' fundraising […]
("This is getting creepy — he's Bob Schaffer all over again" – promoted by Colorado Pols) To the people who tell me I should get hazard pay for listening to conservative talk radio, I prove you wrong by offering this intelligent insight from KHOW radio host Dan Caplis, delivered during a discussion about why Rep. […]
According to an email sent out today by HD-2 candidate Alec Garnett: Last Tuesday night was caucus night in Colorado. Neighbors and friends came together from across the district and we captured more than 50% of the delegates elected. This means at county assembly we should be well above the 30% threshold to make the […]
UPDATE: More commentary from reader Zappatero here. —– In the nicest possible terms, as MSNBC reports: Senate Intelligence Committee member Sen. Mark Udall, D- Colo., said Tuesday that John Brennan’s future as head of the Central Intelligence Agency is in doubt after committee chairman Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D- Calif., accused the agency of spying on the committee […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel's Charles Ashby reports: The GOP legislator who helped establish Colorado’s part of Obamacare defended the state’s health care exchange Tuesday. Rep. Amy Stephens told fellow Colorado Springs Republican Rep. Janak Joshi that his bill to repeal the law that created the Connect for Health Colorado health care exchange is the […]
Colorado Democrats have put out a web ad highlighting the highly-conservative record of Rep. Cory Gardner. You can see the ad after the jump, but first, here's FOX 31's Eli Stokols: The one-minute video focuses on Gardner’s support for the 2010 Personhood initiative, which would have effectively banned abortion in Colorado, a House GOP budget […]
As the Washington Post's Ed O'Keefe reports, a fight over the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee's oversight of Central Intelligence Agency detention and interrogations programs, which prominently features Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado, is escalating rapidly: The head of the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday sharply accused the CIA of violating federal law and undermining the […]
UPDATE 4:35PM: GOP Reps. Bob Gardner and Mark Waller, both pro-life but “reluctantly” unable to vote for an “unconstitutional” bill to ban abortion, join Democrats in voting against House Bill 14-1133. Bill dies on a final vote of 9-2. —– UPDATE #3: Hearing now underway, this Texas-style rotunda photo sent to us from the press […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) There is a coming war on the western economy. Not the fake war promoted by our federally-subsidized rural electric system but a real one, waged by a formidable opponent: Mother Nature. If there was ever an argument for a transition to a 21st-century energy infrastructure, look no further than our current […]
FOX 31's Eli Stokols, noted for the record: Looking to build momentum one week after announcing his campaign, GOP gubernatorial hopeful Bob Beauprez announced Monday that he’s won the endorsement of the most senior Republican officeholder in the state, Attorney General John Suthers. “There is no question in my mind, as I look at the […]
(But does he make odds? – promoted by Colorado Pols) "I happen to believe in something else," Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo told KNUS radio host Jimmy Sengenberger last month. "And that is, there is a plan for all of us. God has a plan. I happen to believe that, okay? Do you, Jimmy, believe […]
New polling data on Colorado's U.S. Senate race was made available today by the right-leaning firm Rasmussen Reports, and the results are telling in their sameness compared to previous polls. Rasmussen now keeps Toplines and Crosstabs behind a paywall, so we don't know the answer to the question that we've always found more telling than […]
We've spent the last couple of weeks waiting for the next installment in a promised series of Denver Post stories about the effects of the Affordable Care Act in Colorado by grant-funded freelance write Art Kane. Kane's last story, as we and others explored in detail, was a disaster of factual inaccuracies and misleading anecdotes […]
A story from outside Colorado, but illustrative for when the same thing happens here. Which it does. A lot. Raw Story: [Rep. Paul] Ryan’s remarks at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Thursday regarding a “young boy from a very poor family” relying on “a government program” for his lunches was strikingly similar to the premise of […]
A new Washington Post-ABC News poll released this week has some useful information on the Tea Party that may play a significant role in Colorado's GOP Senate primary. Sean Sullivan at the Washington Post breaks down the relevant numbers. Yes, you've see this movie before, but it's worth noting that the Tea Party continues to […]
In a Denver Post guest column published yesterday evening, Colorado GOP gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo responds to a blistering attack from former Colorado GOP chairman Dick Wadhams. Wadhams, in case you missed it, says Tancredo is the wrong choice for Republicans in 2014, with a "history of controversial statements" and "failed campaigns"–the latter being something Wadhams has […]
(Let's set reality aside for a moment – Promoted by Colorado Pols) POLS UPDATE: Apropos to the original post, here's a flyer circulating for a Laura Woods event hosted by Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, who seems to be throwing down hard in the SD-19 GOP primary against Lang Sias: Come for the meeting, stay for the […]
Andrew Bateman put this in the Thursday Open Thread. I think that it's important information -so I am putting it out as a diary. The average voter would probably would not be concerned with this- it's mainly for campaign volunteers who work with the voter database. The database is VAN on the Dem side. I […]
Rep. Mike Coffman has become quite adept at taking multiple positions on specific issues, sometimes flip-flopping within less than 24 hours. As he faces his most difficult re-election challenge, against Democrat Andrew Romanoff, Coffman is trying hard to cut-and-paste over his own record, which his campaign must know is incredibly damaging. Coffman has been an […]
Interesting stuff from Lynn Bartels at "The Spot" late last night: Secretary of State Scott Gessler is the winner of a straw poll for gubernatorial candidates conducted during Tuesday night’s GOP precinct caucuses, although results are incomplete and not every county asked for a show of hands. Former Congressman Bob Beauprez only entered the race […]
(Very interesting clarification – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez can try to get on the GOP primary ballot through both petitions and the assembly, despite news reports in 2010 stating that Republican candidates could not pursue both routes simultaneously. Ditto for Beauprez opponents Tom Tancredo and Owen Hill, who are trying both […]
As you may have read in the New York Times this week, Colorado Sen. Mark Udall is front-and-center in another controversy over "extraordinary measures" taken in recent years to protect national security: The Central Intelligence Agency’s attempt to keep secret the details of a defunct detention and interrogation program has escalated a battle between the agency […]
