For many years under the leadership of far-right editorial board chief Wayne Laugesen, who was present at the January 6th, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol, the Colorado Springs Gazette–which has now metastasized into the Denver Gazette–has taken some of the most outrageous positions possible, frequently as a way of legitimizing the Republican Party’s lurch […]
Last night, Colorado candidates for Secretary of State took part in one of the few public debates in that contest. The forum televised by 9News featured a lot of detailed discussion about elections and voting that was about as interesting as it sounds, but there was one key exchange between incumbent Democrat Jena Griswold and Republican […]
TUESDAY UPDATE: As the Denver Post’s Conrad Swanson reports, freshman GOP perpetual outrage machine Rep. Lauren Boebert is taking the rare step of walking back this latest pronouncement, at least a little, after making unambiguously bad headlines across the nation: “She meant to say weaker both times, not lesser,” Boebert spokesman Ben Stout said in […]
Now that Republican U.S. Senate candidate Joe O’Dea has presented himself on vengeful ex-President Donald Trump’s radar after O’Dea vowed to campaign against Trump in 2024 on national television while Trump happened to be watching, what was once grudging acquiescence to O’Dea among Trump loyalists has flipped like a switch to full-on hostility: As the […]
Voters in Colorado are already casting ballots received in the mail last week; ballots can be returned at one of more than 400 drop boxes across the state. In-person early voting is also now available in Colorado at select locations. For more information on how you can cast your 2022 ballot, check out GoVoteColorado.gov. To […]
UPDATE #2: Not long after Ganahl’s campaign claimed to Ernest Luning that it had nothing to do with the “9mm News” account, the account in question Tweeted this: Which is interesting only because we remember Ganahl’s campaign account Tweeting out basically the same thing back in August: It’s almost like they’re TRYING to screw up. Oh, […]
The editorial board of The Denver Post formally backed incumbent Democratic Gov. Jared Polis on Sunday, joining every serious newspaper in Colorado that plans to make endorsements for public office in 2022. We’d guess that supporting Polis was not a particularly difficult decision for the Post editorial board given the persistent lunacy of Republican gubernatorial nominee […]
If you compared the day-to-day news coverage of Republican U.S. Senate candidate Joe Odea’s campaign to the message in O’Dea’s ads, you’d be hard-pressed to know they’re describing the same person. On the one hand, O’Dea’s ads are heavy with his “Country over Party” and “Joe won’t vote the party line” message, while on the […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, your hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii talk once again with Andrew Baumann, senior vice president of research at Global Strategy Group and the lead pollster for the quarterly “Rocky Mountaineer” poll in Colorado. Baumann explains why the latest poll numbers here look so darn good for Democrats […]
This new television ad from the CO-07 campaign of Democrat Brittany Pettersen is the single best spot we have seen in Colorado in 2022. Take a look: This single TV ad absolutely demolishes attacks by Republican opponent Erik Aadland intended to label Pettersen as being on the wrong side of the debate about […]
Last night, 9NEWS hosted the candidates running in Colorado’s hottest congressional race, the newly created Eighth Congressional District pitting Democratic state Rep. Yadira Caraveo against GOP state Sen. and former Weld County Commissioner Barbara Kirkmeyer. Kirkmeyer took the opportunity during this debate to shamelessly run away from her long-held “no exceptions” position on abortion rights, […]
Eagle County Republicans are attempting to confuse Unaffiliated voters in the final weeks of the election by sending out text messages encouraging voters to wait until Election Day to cast ballots in person. As Scott Miller of Vail Daily first reported earlier this week: Several unaffiliated voters in Eagle County on Oct. 14 received text […]
Republican Erik Aadland is sinking fast, and he has finally realized that national Republicans will not be extending any branches to save him. Aadland is a full-fledged election denier who began the 2022 election cycle as a candidate for U.S. Senate before switching metaphorical horses and capturing the GOP nominee for Congress in CO-07 (Jefferson County-ish) […]
As we wrote earlier today, we’re getting to see more and more of the REAL Hiedi Heidi Ganahl with just a few weeks left in the 2022 campaign cycle. As her odds of defeating incumbent Democrat Jared Polis continue to plummet, Ganahl is inversely becoming more emboldened to let her true freak flag fly untethered. […]
THURSDAY UPDATE #2: Still digging, folks: 🧵Asked about an ad and fundraiser claiming he's being censored by Big Tech, CO Senate candidate Joe O'Dea (R) says, "I got a crack team there, they found some anomalies. They addressed it with Google and they cleaned it up."The ad and fundraiser are still live.First:@KyleClark https://t.co/682cguuwzP pic.twitter.com/KBp11RWHjt — […]
Colorado Public Radio’s Andrew Kenney has a new in-depth story today examining Colorado Republican gubernatorial nominee Hiedi Heidi Ganahl’s strange turn in the closing weeks of her quixotic train wreck of a campaign toward conspiracy theories about so-called “furries” rampaging unchecked in Colorado public schools. Kenney’s examination of Ganahl’s bizarre endgame seeks to answer an […]
Republican politicians in Colorado have fallen in love with a dubious talking point about fentanyl deaths in our state that has prompted at least two local news outlets to debunk the statistic. As Election Day draws closer, this talking point is getting shared with increasing frequency by Republican candidates. And it’s wrong. The talking point […]
There are a few things in life that you can always count on — and Congressman Doug Lamborn of Colorado Springs sponsoring pointless legislation is right at the top of that list. While Lamborn may not really even use the Internet, he is very attuned to the manufactured concerns of right-wingers everywhere. Lamborn’s congressional office […]
The Denver Post’s Seth Klamann reports today on the latest Mountaineer poll from Global Strategy Group and liberal activist group ProgressNow Colorado–numbers that cannot be spun any way positively for Republicans three weeks out from the 2022 midterm elections, and the downward trajectory for Republicans in the gubernatorial race in particular opening the possibility of […]
Just after we wrote earlier today about GOP U.S. Senate candidate Joe O’Dea’s new ad campaign on global tech giant Facebook complaining that his ads are being “censored” by global tech giant Google, 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark reports that the Republican candidate for governor of Colorado Hiedi Heidi Ganahl is making a similar claim of partisan […]
TUESDAY UPDATE: As Chris Cillizza explains for CNN: What Trump is doing here is actively sabotaging O’Dea’s chances. In order to have a chance at pulling off an upset against Bennet, O’Dea needs the Trumpist Republican base fully behind him and the support of independents and moderates across Colorado. He can’t win without both parts […]
Several Colorado newspapers have decided against making endorsements in political races in 2022, including The Pueblo Chieftain, The Ft. Collins Coloradoan, and The Greeley Tribune. The Colorado Springs Gazette, meanwhile, has turned its candidate endorsement process into a ridiculous partisan pit of repetitive Republican talking points. The Gazette has completely given up on even pretending to be nonpartisan by endorsing […]
If you enjoy silly campaign schwag and you want to make an ass of yourself, then boy howdy do we have good news for you! Head on over to the schwag store at the website for Republican Senate candidate Joe O’Dea, and you can buy all sorts of bizarre crap. But the real gem is […]
Over at Republican gubernatorial candidate Hiedi Heidi Ganahl’s Facebook page, where the supportive comments over Ganahl’s campaign against the menace of “furries” clawing and hissing their way through the hallways of Colorado public schools are still flowing fast and furious, a whole new moral panic is taking shape over “pro-pedophilia” posters allegedly going up “all […]
[mantra-pullquote align=”right” textalign=”left” width=”60%”]“As somebody who supports the Dobbs decision returning this back to the states to make a decision…” — Republican Attorney General candidate John Kellner (8/2/22)[/mantra-pullquote] Back in early August, we took note of a candidate form in the race for Attorney General in which Republican John Kellner made an admission […]
