As Politico reports today, the spin is in full effect on the eve of tonight’s caucuses. Read some of the quotes after the jump, including our take on who really has the most at stake in the race for U.S. Senate…including a potential glimpse into the results. …history shows that a victory in the first […]
Over the weekend, we were obliged to correct some rather egregious misrepresentations in a Denver Post column on the economic impact of online retailing giant Amazon.com’s decision to end its affiliate relationships with Colorado residents. Post columnist David Harsanyi, among several other profoundly dumb assertions, claimed that Amazon’s “closure” of its Colorado affiliates “involved 5,000 […]
It has been brought to my attention that the Denver Post is planning to run an editorial blasting the Denver School Board members who have recently questioned the fuzzy math put forward by DPS. How can the Post justify their actions? Who are they protecting? Tom Boasberg? Michael Bennet? Chris Romer? (All names that have […]
(Saved us the trouble of a “New Advertiser” diary–click their ad to the right, and send an email to ads@coloradopols.com to get your own – promoted by Colorado Pols) As Coloradans of both parties gather this week in the first step toward selection of nominees for the state’s highest offices, ProgressNow Colorado, the state’s largest […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) No ambiguity on the issue of the Army’s hotly-contested proposed expansion of the Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site for gubernatorial candidate John Hickenlooper–and a clear distinction between himself and GOP opponent Scott McInnis. As the Pueblo Chieftain reported yesterday: If residents of Southeastern Colorado don’t support the expansion of the […]
With caucuses just a couple of days away, the local conservative blogosphere is crying foul over an apparently pro-Senate candidate Ken Buck ‘independent’ message group’s tactics. The details don’t really seem all that scandalous, or in any event substantiated by much more than innuendo, but high dudgeon is the order of the day from the […]
As the Denver Post reported yesterday: A Colorado Springs resident claims a state senator who is paying only $500 a month rent for a downtown Denver condo is violating the state’s ethics laws. A complaint filed this week with the Colorado Independent Ethics Commission says Sen. John Morse accepted something of value greater than $50, […]
(Not the legislature’s finest hour, folks – promoted by Colorado Pols) Rep. Mark Ferrandino’s attempts to cap interest rates on payday lending in Colorado stalled Friday in the Legislature, the Denver Post’s Tim Hoover reports, as House leaders postponed a vote because two Democrats were absent. The margin could be as close as a single […]
Just released today, Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter has officially endorsed Sen. Michael Bennet. From a press release: Democrats in Colorado are blessed to have two highly qualified men running to represent Colorado in the United States Senate. One is our sitting US Senator, Michael Bennet, the other is our former Speaker of the Colorado House […]
SATURDAY UPDATE: The Denver Post’s David Harsanyi did respond, but we think beer-thirty started early at the Post yesterday afternoon. Should have probably just taken his lumps, because this response is, well, it’s unusually and notably ridiculous. The bill gives Amazon an ultimatum. Collect taxes on your site for Colorado or hand over the names […]
( – promoted by Middle of the Road) This time it’s an op-ed repeating GOP talking points in the Washington Post. How much do you want to bet Andrew Romanoff’s biggest regret is having hired this clown: If Democrats ignore health-care polls, midterms will be costly By Patrick H. Caddell and Douglas E. Schoen Friday, […]
We’re a little behind on this, but just a few weeks after former Rep. Tom Tancredo endorsed his campaign for Congress, Republican Jimmy Lakey pulled out of the race in CD7 (h/t to Complete Colorado). According to a Facebook announcement: While I have truly enjoyed meeting so many wonderful people, I have come to the […]
(Related to this, in case you haven’t been paying attention – promoted by Colorado Pols) Less than 48 hours into the effort, support is growing rapidly for ProgressNow Colorado’s call to boycott online retail giant Amazon following its decision to terminate relationships with affiliates in the state. The public can sign the pledge to boycott […]
And starting again out in left field…Jane Norrrr-tonnnn. We’ve expressed amazement in this space before at Republican Senate candidate Jane Norton’s apparent message strategy we dubbed “Out of Left Field” Norton. And we’ve said before that it sucks to be Norton’s spokesperson. You never know what Norton is going to say, or when she might […]

Colorado Springs Gazette reporter Mark Barna writes for The Pulpit blog: Focus on the Family founder James Dobson was pushed off the Focus radio show by the organization’s board of directors. The board told Dobson that his last “Focus on the Family” radio broadcast would air Feb. 26. Dobson was disappointed. He didn’t want to […]
We, along with the Denver Post and various other amused parties, have talked quite a bit about GOP Senate candidate Jane Norton’s call to ‘abolish’ the federal Department of Education. The Post’s examination of the issue last December found that Norton was pretty distantly behind the times with this Reagan-era canned prescription for “reform,” and […]
Colorado has had it’s share of non-media savvy candidates and campaigns over the years, with Republican Senate candidate Jane Norton’s campaign leading the way in 2010 where screwing up the earned media side is concerned. But for all the mistakes of candidates like Norton and “Master of the Terrible Press” Ali Hasan, nobody has quite […]
We’re not sure why an Oregon Senate candidate would steal the logo from an unsuccessful, unknown NHL hockey team (logo at right) from Ohio, but, whatever: Oregon Senate candidate Marc Delphine loves America so much that his web team co-opted the Columbus Blue Jackets logo and made it their own.
Not a good showing for GOP Senate candidate Jane Norton on FOX 31 News last night, folks–excerpts below, and the video feature after the jump: There is no issue that riles up today’s conservative base like the issue of government spending, perceived to be out of control after last year’s $787 billion American Reinvestment and […]
(How many times can one person make the same stupid mistake in one campaign? Gardner may be trying for a record here. – promoted by Colorado Pols) State Rep. Cory Gardner, the Republican frontrunner for the 4th Congressional District, missed a vote on a water bill critical to his district Tuesday because he was on […]
You would think that a year and half after the US taxpayer saved the world by propping up the banking system, the financial sector would have humbly submitted to regulations to prevent another disaster. Nope. As Congress this week inches toward a new set of rules to avert another global financial collapse, it is focused […]
A new deal worked out between Governor Bill Ritter and Xcel Energy is sure to complicate some GOP election-related talking points, and at the same time be a really great move economically and environmentally. The Grand Junction Sentinel reported over the weekend: Gov. Bill Ritter announced a major piece of legislation Friday that would boost […]
Worth a look if you haven’t already, the Denver Post reports: A new website that will provide taxpayers estimates of how their taxes are spent and allow them to vote on whether that amount is appropriate was unveiled Sunday. The Tax Tracks program is the first of its kind in the country, said state Treasurer […]
