Who Will Win the Race for CO-07? (10/7)

Here’s what you thought the last time we asked this question. Now, it’s time to vote again. Colorado’s new eighth congressional district is the most competitive federal race in the state. Will Democratic State Sen. Brittany Pettersen succeed retiring Rep. Ed Perlmutter, or will Republican guy Erik Aadland be the winner?   *Remember, as always […]

Heidi Ganahl’s Furry-Baiting Is Not Victimless

In the last couple of weeks since Republican gubernatorial nominee Hiedi Heidi Ganahl decided entirely of her own volition to make a costume subculture (what’s known as “cosplay”) called “furries” the central moral panic driving her campaign, Ganahl has been brutally lampooned for recycling a widely-spread and debunked conservative conspiracy theory suggesting that children are […]

Ganahl Finally Goes Up On Television (Barely)

Republican gubernatorial candidate Hiedi Heidi Ganahl took time out from her busy schedule of making baseless allegations about “furries” in schools to film her first television ad of the cycle. You can watch the ad below after the jump…which might be about the only place you’ll see it. Ganahl’s television ad buy is less than […]

O’Dea Campaign Promotes Saddest Meet and Greet of 2022

As we wrote in this space just a few weeks ago, Republican Joe O’Dea’s campaign for U.S. Senate seems to have been modeled in part on the 2014 strategy that saw Republican Cory Gardner narrowly elected to the U.S. Senate against incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Udall. As we noted in that same post, there’s not […]

Who Will Win the Race for Governor? (10/6)

The last time we asked this question, here’s what you thought. Given the catastrophic meltdown of Republican gubernatorial candidate Hiedi Heidi Ganahl’s campaign, we’re rewording this poll question. Who will win the race for Governor in November? Will it be incumbent Democrat Jared Polis, or incumbent Democrat Jared Polis?   *Remember, as always with our […]

Who Will Win Colorado’s U.S. Senate Race? (10/6)

Here’s what readers thought the last time we asked this question. Now we’re asking again: Who will win Colorado’s U.S. Senate race? Will incumbent Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet earn a third term, or will Republican businessman Joe O’Dea pull off the upset?   *Remember, as always with our totally non-scientific polls, we want to know […]

Who Will Win the Race for CO-08? (10/6)

Here’s what you thought the last time we asked this question. Now, it’s time to vote again. Colorado’s new eighth congressional district is the most competitive federal race in the state. Will Democratic State Rep. Yadira Caraveo be the first-ever representative from this North Metro area district, or will it be Republican State Sen. Barbara […]

Ron Hanks: Vote for Brian Peotter, Not Joe O’Dea

We did not expect that during the first week of October the biggest story in Colorado politics would be about a thing that is not happening: Republican gubernatorial candidate Hiedi Heidi Ganahl’s obsession with “furries” in schools. We also did not expect that during the first week of October, former Republican Senate candidate Ron Hanks […]

Ganahl Distributing Photos of “Furry” Kids to Media

The absolutely bonkers Furry-Lago conspiracy that Republican gubernatorial candidate Hiedi Heidi Ganahl won’t stop talking about is gaining national attention — and it’s about to get much, much worse because Ganahl is making horrifying (and probably illegal) decisions in pushing this widely-debunked story. Ganahl has photos of children in Colorado schools — presumably taken without […]

Aurora City Council a Cautionary Tale for 2022

In last November’s Aurora municipal elections, voters elected a slate of Republican candidates to the city council who ran campaigns focused on public safety issues. Nearly one year later, the new people in charge are trying to pretend that crime rates have decreased — providing no actual evidence — while proving to be utterly incapable […]

Sorry Sane GOP: Heidi Ganahl WANTS To Talk About “Furries”

We’re several news cycles into Hiedi Heidi Ganahl’s latest bout of race-derailing wackiness, determining that the best way to boost her sinking campaign is to open a new front against the peril of “furries”–claiming without any factual basis that a subculture of students “identifying as cats” are disrupting learning for kids across the state. After […]

Maybe Joe O’Dea Can…Nope, Nevermind

UPDATE: As The Washington Post reports in a story about Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker: With polls showing Republican candidates underperforming the fundamentals in several key Senate races, Walker — for all his previous problems, which were many — hasn’t lagged as badly as some. And just two weeks ago, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell […]

“Different Kind of Republican” Joe O’Dea Turns To…Dubya?!

NBC News reports on the latest bob and weave in Colorado GOP U.S. Senate candidate Joe O’Dea’s downward-trending campaign–having run as fast as he could away from Donald Trump’s locally toxic brand without completely alienating the Republican base, O’Dea is turning to Trump’s Republican predecessor, former President George W. Bush, for support in the coming […]

Keating Poll: Lauren Boebert 47%, Adam Frisch 45%

UPDATE: Bill Kristol huffs the hopium: Upset in CO-03? A new poll has Democrat Adam Frisch within two points of incumbent Republican Lauren Boebert. 47% of likely voters say they’ll vote for Boebert and 45% for Frisch. A similar poll in July had Boebert ahead 49% to 42%. — Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) October 4, 2022 […]

The GMS Podcast: Crazier Than a Bag of Squirrels

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, your hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii try to understand what in the holy hell is wrong with Republican gubernatorial candidate Hiedi Heidi Ganahl and her obsession with furries. Later, we talk about GOP Senate candidate Joe O’Dea and his definition of “Chickeenos”; the weird maybe-not-a-coincidence campaign strategy that […]

DCCC Brings Barbara Kirkmeyer’s Words Back To Haunt Her

Having secured the Republican nomination for one of the nation’s most competitive congressional races, state Sen. Barb Kirkmeyer has joined the stampede of Colorado GOP candidates to the alleged ideological center, pivoting to appeal to general election voters for whom most of the issues candidates proudly embraced in the primary are now as repellent as […]

Heidi Ganahl Campaign Goes Radioactive

UPDATE: Heidi Ganahl…quintuples down? Sextuples down? It defies comprehension: 🐱: In response to her claims that kids are identifying as cats in Colorado schools, @heidiganahl issued a statement to @KRDONC13, saying parents, teachers, and students know what is happening, not legislators, lazy members of the media, or Governor Jared Polis. #copolitics https://t.co/RXAB8G6ErS pic.twitter.com/NgxsM00yVC — Spencer […]

Joe O’Dea, Like Trump, Says Media Treats Him “Unfairly”

Republican Senate candidate Joe O’Dea is well on his way to being defeated by incumbent Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet in November. A new bipartisan poll released on Friday from Keating Research and Magellan Strategies shows Bennet leading O’Dea 46-36, which tracks with what we’ve seen from most public polling in recent months. O’Dea may be […]

Will incumbent Democrat Jena Griswold win re-election, or will Republican challenger Pam Anderson get the ‘W’?   *Remember, as always with our totally non-scientific polls, we want to know what […]

Heidi Ganahl Just Implodes in Candidate Forum on Friday

The candidates for Governor in Colorado got together today for a candidate forum at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science hosted by Colorado Concern. Republican Hiedi Heidi Ganahl and incumbent Democratic Gov. Jared Polis took turns answering questions from moderator Dean Singleton, the longtime publisher of The Denver Post and a well known conservative […]

Joe O’Dea Can’t Walk Away From Proposition 115

After successfully navigating the Republican U.S. Senate primary with an ambiguous and sometimes often contradictory message on abortion rights, Joe O’Dea stumbled definitively on the issue in August when he announced to a friendly conservative audience unbidden that he had voted for 2020’s Proposition 115: a 22-week abortion ban that made no exceptions for victims […]

Nothing Says “Different Kind of Republican” Like…Karl Rove?

Since winning the Republican primary on June 28th, U.S. Senate candidate Joe O’Dea has publicly aligned himself with a number of notably unpopular national Republican figures, inexplicably undermining O’Dea’s attempts to distance himself from the Republican brand in a state that has been increasingly hostile to Republicans for several election cycles. As low-quality Republican Senate […]

Who Will Win the Race for State Treasurer? (9/30)

Vote! Vote! Vote! Here are the results from the last time we asked this question. Who will win the race for State Treasurer in November? Will it be incumbent Democrat Dave Young, or perennial Republican candidate Lang Sias?   *Remember, as always with our totally non-scientific polls, we want to know what you legitimately THINK […]

Who Will Win the Race in CO-07? (9/30)

More polls! Who will be elected in the new version of CO-07 to succeed the retiring Rep. Ed Perlmutter? Will it be Democratic State Sen. Brittany Pettersen, or Republican guy Erik Aadland?   *Remember, as always with our totally non-scientific polls, we want to know what you legitimately THINK will happen — not what you […]

Who Will Be Elected Attorney General? (9/30)

It’s been awhile since we asked readers this question, so let’s get right to it. What will happen in the race for Attorney General between incumbent Democrat Phil Weiser and Republican Arapahoe County-ish District Attorney John Kellner?   *Remember, as always with our totally non-scientific polls, we want to know what you legitimately THINK will happen — […]
