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…
Keeping it in the family, the Denver Post's Kurtis Lee reports: Republican Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler has hired an attorney with ties to his old law firm to file a bold court order against Gov. John Hickenlooper in an effort to force the governor to set election dates in the recalls of two […]
SUNDAY UPDATE: FOX 31's Eli Stokols covers Greg Brophy's official campaign launch today: Brophy, a quirky, deeply-conservative and somewhat unconventional politician, joins a primary field that already includes Tom Tancredo, who challenged Hickenlooper in 2013 as a third-party candidate, and Secretary of State Scott Gessler, who has formed an exploratory committee but has yet to officially […]
As soon as we saw the story of Jaxine Bubis, failed GOP SD-11 candidate/"erotic grammy" fiction writer in the recall election against Senate President John Morse nonetheless endorsed by many state legislators and Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, the situation seemed ripe for utilization by comedians across America. Thanks to Bill Maher last night, we were not […]
UPDATE: I almost ended this post with the line, "How dumb do you think Latinos are?" but I'm glad I didn't, because it turns out that question has a sad, sad answer. According to the author of Heritage's controversial report, the report they are still pushing, the answer is "0.72 standard deviations, suggesting a Hispanic-American IQ […]
The Washington Post reports, one of the GOP's darling conservative "Tea Party" state governors, outgoing Gov. Bob McDonnell of Virginia, is facing calls to resign before his term ends as revelations of large gifts to family members from a corporate benefactor continue to grow: Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus says he’s “the wrong guy” […]
FOX 31's Eli Stokols sets the scene today: Colorado Treasurer Walker Stapleton, a Republican, announced Thursday that he’s seeking a second term. Not surprisingly, the entire GOP establishment is lining up behind Stapleton, whose press release touted the support of Attorney General John Suthers, Broncos vice president John Elway, Rockies owner Dick Monfort, his […]
Take a gander at the new, updated Big Line for 2014.
The Durango Herald's Joe Hanel reports on the word yesterday by Gov. John Hickenlooper that he will, as fully expected, support the school finance ballot measure set to dominate Colorado politics for much of the rest of this off-year: The governor already had committed to supporting a ballot initiative this fall to fund reforms to the […]
UPDATE #2: The Durango Herald's Joe Hanel reports: They were headed for a showdown in what was supposed to be a six-hour hearing today in Krieger’s courtroom. But at 9:30 Tuesday night, the plaintiffs and lawyers from the attorney general’s office – which is defending Hickenlooper – submitted a compromise to the court. Essentially, the compromise […]
Politico's James Arkin supplies the answer: Voters in seven GOP-held congressional districts would be less likely to vote for their current representative if he doesn’t support immigration reform, according to the poll from Public Policy Polling. The number of voters who would be less likely to support their current congressman ranged from 40 to 47 […]
The Denver Post's Adrian Garcia updates on the plot by a number of rural northeastern Colorado counties to secede from the state of Colorado, and form their own new state of "North Colorado." Apparently, and it's not like anybody could have predicted this, but the original plan to secede is not really working out so much: Fervor […]
The Hill's Alexandra Jaffe, in case you hadn't already heard: Democrat Andrew Romanoff raised more than $500,000 in the second quarter and now has nearly $920,000 cash on hand for his campaign to challenge Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Colo.) That brings his total raised this year to about $1.02 million, making him one of the strongest fundraisers […]
Once again, FOX 31's Eli Stokols reports: Sen. Owen Hill, after just one year as a state lawmaker, is running for the U.S. Senate, FOX31 Denver is first to report. Hill, R-Colorado Springs, will announce Monday that he is seeking the GOP’s nomination to challenge Democratic Sen. Mark Udall next year… “We’ve been looking at […]
State Sen. Randy Baumgardner. FOX 31's Eli Stokols: State Sen. Randy Baumgardner, a rancher from Hot Sulphur Springs, will officially launch his campaign for Udall’s seat this Friday in Grand County, the Denver Post’s Lynn Bartels reported Sunday. Baumgardner, known as the “Capitol Cowboy” at the Capitol, has been hinting that he planned to enter […]
(As featured in "Today in BS" – promoted by Colorado Pols) Jon Caldara, who heads up the libertarian Independence Institute, carries a smirk on his face a lot of the time. So you're often not sure what to believe when he talks. Such was the case, on his Channel 12 show, Devil’s Advocate (at 5:45), […]
A press release from the Colorado Republican Party today lays into Rep. Joe Salazar (D-Thornton) over the above "Retweet" of (full disclosure) one of our favorite comediennes, the lovely and gracious Sarah Silverman: One of Colorado’s most embarrassing and controversial legislators is calling for the rape of Gov. Scott Walker, R-Wis., over legislation that requires doctors to […]
As we reported, the last days of this year's session of the Colorado General Assembly saw a rush of activity on several bills aimed at easing Coloradans' concern about the increasing impacts of oil and gas development. After a multi-million dollar lobby effort by the oil and gas industry (and the "help" of Governor John Hickenlooper), […]
UPDATE 5:00PM: As expected, Deputy Secretary of State Suzanne Staiert (R) rules against the constitutional challenge to Morse's recall petition. The case will now move to district court. —– UPDATE: The Colorado Independent's Tessa Cheek supplies useful additional backstory: Gessler and Morse also have a history of butting heads. Morse spearheaded a move in 2011 to […]
Amid the GOP's ongoing struggle to find an opponent–any opponent–to challenge incumbent Sen. Mark Udall in 2014, the Denver Post's Lynn Bartels puts 2010 Senate loser Ken Buck's name back in the mix: Buck for months has been mentioned as a likely candidate for state attorney general, but in recent days several high-profile Republicans have announced […]
Oh, myyyyy! Christian conservative-supported Morse recall proponent, Jaxine Bubis, moonlights as erotica author Jaxine Daniels. Gun shop owner Paul Paradis pulled the trigger today on a breathless, hand-wringing email outing Bubis and begging fellow Republicans to deny her their support. (Incidentally, Paradis is said to be a close friend of the other candidate hoping to oppose Senate President John Morse […]
Take note of this brief report from Politico: Rep. Paul Ryan has committed to dramatically ramping up his fundraising appearances to help fellow House Republicans, a move that will help boost his political muscle among GOP lawmakers and bring piles of cash to the party’s election arm. Ryan, the former GOP vice presidential candidate […]
We've written before about how the various versions of CD-6 Republican Rep. Mike Coffman continue to battle each other for Coffman supremacy. Last week New Coffman® was a featured player in a story from the National Journal about members of Congress who are double-dipping (and we aren't talking about potato chips): To solve the debt […]
FOX 31's Eli Stokols: Colorado Sen. Mark Udall had perhaps his best month of press since taking office in June, when a government surveillance scandal he’s long hinted at came to light. The Democrat, who faces reelection next fall, also finished up another strong fundraising quarter, bringing in $1.3 million in contributions between April 1 […]
