CORRECTION: The “metrosexual liberals” quote in this blog post was originally attributed to Sen. Brophy, when it was in fact stated by the KNUS host Kirsta Kafer. ——————————- Last week, ColoradoPols posted a publicity photo of Sen. Greg Brophy and his family, all brandishing big guns. The Pols post caught the attention of Brophy, who […]
Iowa Rep. Steve King, classy as always. From Politico: Rep. Steve King is defending his remarks that drew criticism from his own party leadership that the children of some immigrants were being used as drug mules. King’s initial remarks came in an interview last week with Newsmax. While discussing the DREAM Act, which would allow […]
Emailed to us today, and we just about spat our coffee. A meme for the upcoming GOP gubernatorial primary? We might have had Secretary of State Scott Gessler (right) play Moe, but otherwise this is more or less perfect.
As Tom Roeder of the Colorado Springs Gazette reports, get to know the name Irv Halter: A retired Air Force two-star who helped lead the Air Force Academy is running to represent Colorado Springs in Congress. Democrat Irv Halter, who served as vice-superintendent at the academy, will announce his run against incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. […]
Sen. Ted Harvey (R-Highlands Ranch). FOX 31's Eli Stokols: The ‘Stop Hillary PAC’, a group that was quietly incorporated in May, announced its leadership team on Monday. [Sen. Ted] Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch, is serving as the group’s “honorary chairman”, he told FOX31 Denver on Monday. “My role is to talk to the media and help […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) POLS UPDATE: El Paso County conservative activist Sarah Arnold weighs in: When will the El Paso County Republican Party learn to stop meddling in primaries (which, for all intents and purposes, this is)? Just because you make it public knowledge doesn’t make it any less “backroom” and “smoke-filled”. Those who collected […]
Repeat that title three times fast while (mostly behind a paywall) the Greeley Tribune reports: Weld County Sheriff John Cooke will leave law enforcement after 35 years to run for the state Senate in 2014. Cooke, the Weld sheriff since 2003, is a Republican who said Monday that he will run for the District 13 seat, […]
We've scrolled through the fundraising reports for state legislative candidates, and after the jump you can see how some of the top races are playing out thus far. The top fundraiser in Colorado (among legislative candidates) is Democrat Alec Garnett, whose HD-2 warchest has grown to $35,467. As of today, Democrats hold a 37-28 advantage […]
One of our front-page editors reported earlier this month on the story of Jaxine Bubis, Republican candidate in Colorado Senate District 11's upcoming recall election of Senate President John Morse. Bubis, though endorsed by numerous state legislators including Sen. Kent Lambert and GOP U.S. Senate candidate Owen Hill, saw her bid to run against Morse in September […]
As the Durango Herald's Emery Cowan reports: The state’s top gas and oil regulator backpedaled on a comment he made earlier this week that fracking opponents are generally affluent enough that they don’t have to worry about heating and cooling costs. “It was an overgeneralization and improperly so,” said Matt Lepore, director of the Colorado Oil […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The ink hadn't yet dried on the House-passed version of the 2013 FAARM [Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act] Act of 2013 before the guile began: “I applaud the passage of the farm bill in the House today. It is an important piece of legislation that provides certainty for America’s […]
MONDAY UPDATE: NARAL Pro-Choice Colorado weighs in: Karen Middleton, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Colorado today questioned whether Colorado Attorney General candidate Cynthia Coffman could fairly represent the state’s voters and women after a video surfaced showing Coffman boasting that she helped deny funding for women’s health care. A video of Cynthia Coffman, an announced […]
Correction on 7-19-2013: Obama told a Telemundo Dallas reporter that he didn't want to speculate on whether he'd use his executive powers to stop deportations of undocumented immigrants, if Congress doesn't pass an immigration reform bill. Obama did not say this to Telemundo Denver reporter Maria Rozman, as reported previously here. ———————- Asked by Telemundo […]
As the Denver Post reports, Gov. John Hickenlooper is (wisely) becoming more vocal in his support for a school tax increase this fall: In an interview with The Denver Post, Hickenlooper said he would advocate for passage of the proposed two-tiered income tax by participating in discussions, talking with opponents and, if needed, making television […]
UPDATE #4: In a joint press release, the campaigns of Sens. John Morse and Angela Giron announce that they will not appeal today's decision by Denver District Court. Today, the Denver District Court determined the recall election should proceed despite our constitutional concerns. A September 10th election date has been set. Both campaigns have decided they […]
Democrat Pat Quinn, who surprised political observers by jumping into the State Treasurer race earlier this month (on the same day that Democrat Betsy Markey announced her candidacy) took another unusual step today. This morning Quinn released the full results of a statewide poll that, spin from the campaign aside, really aren't all that favorable […]
As the Denver Post's Howard Pankratz reports: The new geothermal heating and cooling system at the Colorado state Capitol, consisting of water pumped from two wells drilled into the Arapahoe Aquifer more than 850 feet underground, is being brought on line this week and should bring hefty savings on utility bills for the Capitol, officials […]
Back during the 2010 GOP U.S. Senate primary, candidate Jane Norton faced an uphill (and ultimately unsuccessful) battle for the right wing of the party against Weld County DA Ken Buck. Buck appealed to social conservatives early in this race with his strident rhetoric against abortion–even volunteering unbidden that he opposes abortion even in cases of […]
Appearing on KNUS’ Peter Boyles show yesterday, Scott Gessler lit into top Colorado Democrats, saying he thinks Senate President John Morse said “stuff like, people who own guns are a mental sickness.” Gessler also agreed with Boyles, when he said Gov. Hick delayed the killing of murderer Nathan Dunlap because Hick couldn’t have gone to […]
POLS UPDATE: A Republican commenter reports that Rocky Mountain Gun Owners will protest at Friday's event memorializing Aurora shooting victims. We find comparisons being made to Westboro Baptist Church's infamous protests at soldier funerals to be, well, deplorably accurate. Original post follows. —– (Promoted by Colorado Pols) This Friday, concerned citizens from across America will join with the […]
Below are the updated fundraising numbers for Colorado Congressional candidates through Q2. The list is ordered by the amount of Cash on Hand at the end of the quarter.

This past week marked the inaugural meeting of the Governor's task force that will monitor the implementation of SB13-252, the renewable energy mandate placed on rural electric coops in the 2013 legislative session. A significant opportunity to bring a renaissance to rural Colorado – masquerading as a 'War on Rural Colorado'. A fake war. An […]
7NEWS reports, and it's too awesome to not mention: The small town of Deer Trail, Colorado is considering a bold move. The town board will be voting on an ordinance that would create drone hunting licenses and offer bounties for unmanned aerial vehicles. Deer Trail resident, Phillip Steel, drafted the ordinance. "We do not want […]
An email blast moments ago from the El Paso Freedom Defense Committee: Help ensure the voice of the people is heard! Senator John Morse is challenging the Recall efforts in Court, and THIS WEDNESDAY is our day to pack the Courtroom to send a message that We the People won't be silenced! This critical Court […]
Just forwarded to us, this publicity shot of GOP gubernatorial candidate Greg Brophy and his lovely family. No, this is not a joke (as far as we know, anyway): Make that Sen. Brophy’s lovely, armed to the teeth family. Perhaps it will save money on security? Caption away…
