As NBC News’ Marc Caputo reports, embattled Florida Republican congressbroham Matt Gaetz, despite an ongoing federal investigation into alleged human trafficking and other assorted sex crimes, emerged victorious Tuesday night in his primary that featured heavy spending on lurid ads attacking Gaetz: Rep. Matt Gaetz defeated his Republican primary opponent Tuesday in one of Florida’s […]
There is no group of people who know how to make a bad situation worse like Colorado Republicans. On Wednesday, Colorado Republicans announced that they had formally begun the process to recall State Sen. Kevin Priola from office for reasons that have nothing to do with policy and everything to do with partisanship. On Monday, […]
As the Colorado Springs Gazette’s Marianne Goodland reports, a number of local elected officials and candidates were in Steamboat Springs yesterday to confer, converse, and otherwise hob-knob with the eminent and sagely buffaloes of the Colorado Water Congress. With the West in the grip of historic drought and the effects of human-caused climate change increasingly […]
As we discussed last week, amid the growing sense of desperation among Republicans as their chances of capturing a majority in the U.S. Senate dwindle under the weight of terrible Republican candidates throwing away winnable races, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell–who candidly admitted last week that “candidate quality” is impacting Republican odds–and the National Republican […]
“Colorado is in Play” is the new “This is What Momentum Looks Like.” Back in October 2017, supporters of then-gubernatorial candidate George Brauchler were inexplicably crowing that “this is what momentum looks like” after their candidate raised less than $100k in the third quarter fundraising period and picked up a handful of endorsements from law […]
Colorado politicos are still buzzing about State Sen. Kevin Priola’s big announcement on Monday that he was leaving the Republican Party and becoming a Democrat because of his disgust over the GOP’s refusal to address the issue of Climate Change and their continued embrace of the “Big Lie” propagated by former President Trump. In today’s […]
As the issue of abortion rights surges in importance for voters in 2022, the re-election campaign for Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Denver) is making sure that Coloradans understand that one of the most important tests for a candidate for U.S. Senate is their support for the Supreme Court Justices who voted to essentially overturn Roe v. […]
As most of our readers know, Colorado Republican Congressperson Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert is not what you would call a particularly serious person. Boebert spends most of her time Tweeting out juvenile insults and complaints about various Democrats and thirstily trying to get the attention of New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. When Boebert speaks […]
State Senator Kevin Priola of Henderson shook up the Colorado political world on Monday by announcing that he was switching parties and becoming a Democrat because he could no longer abide a Republican Party that opposed any efforts to combat Climate Change and refused to speak out against the Jan. 6 insurrection and the “Big […]
UPDATE #4: Senate President Steve Fenberg rolls out the welcome mat: Today, Senator Kevin Priola chose his constituents and Colorado’s future over partisan politics. Senator Priola has made it clear that the people of Colorado deserve leaders who will boldly take action against the most serious threats facing our country today. Instead of bowing to […]
This week in a SPECIAL EPISODE of the Get More Smarter Podcast, your hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii talk with not one, but two United States Senators. Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) and Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) stop by to discuss the 2022 election and some of the lesser-known details of the Inflation Recovery Act […]
UPDATE #2: Joe O’Dea kept digging in an interview today with KOA radio host Mandy Connell: MANDY CONNELL: I love that attitude. And I think it’s the right attitude. I have two follow up questions on abortion, because I want this issue, like buttoned up to be perfectly honest, I want to know everything. How […]
Yesterday, Cook Political Report updated their election forecast rankings in several U.S. Senate races, including Colorado’s where the rating for our race was downgraded from “Likely Democratic” to “Leans Democratic.” It’s a change that left some heads scratching after a poll at the beginning of the week by Republican-leaning McLaughlin and Associates showed incumbent Democratic […]
Colorado Republicans have been telegraphing their fear about the abortion issue sinking their hopes in 2022 — as well they should — and a new ad from Sen. Michael Bennet drives this point home further. We’ll have more on that in a moment, but first…lest there be any confusion on the subject, former militia leader […]
As the Pensacola, Florida News-Journal reports, embattled Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz, under investigation for child sex trafficking while fighting off a primary challenge in next Tuesday’s primary, barnstormed his northwest Florida district this week in the company of Colorado’s freshman GOP outrage manufacturer Rep. Lauren Boebert: Rep. Matt Gaetz finds himself playing defense in his […]
Ernest Luning of the political blog formerly known as the Colorado Statesman reports on a new controversy involving Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold–or at least Republicans looking for anything in the way of traction in this sleeper downballot race would have you believe it’s a controversy, because by any objective non-election year hyperbolic standard, […]
Five months ago, embattled Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters was approaching what we now know to have been the peak of her status as a right-wing celebrity. In late March, Peters had bonded out of jail and was seemingly everywhere, her name filling the pages of major publications across the country. Six weeks […]
It’s not a new revelation to report that Republican Hiedi Heidi Ganahl will literally say anything if she thinks it might earn her some support in her doomed campaign for Governor. Ganahl long ago made it clear that her core principles are mostly about convincing Colorado voters that she has some. Back in Nov. 2021, […]
Local attorney Jenna Ellis, who rose to a dubious kind of fame from relative obscurity as a Colorado Christian University instructor with little real-world legal experience joining the team of lawyers working on now ex-President Donald Trump’s behalf to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election by any means necessary, has built a reputation […]
UPDATE: Don’t take our word for it: This is a BFD. https://t.co/L0sh8ULo4T — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) August 16, 2022 —– As the Washington Post reports, the hard-won long-sought reconciliation spending package once known as the Build Back Better Plan and officially now known as the banal-sounding Inflation Reduction Act, was signed into law this afternoon […]
Today President Biden is expected to sign into law the Inflation Reduction Act, which (among other things) includes the most significant investment in combatting Climate Change in the history of history — $375 billion over the next ten years. The bill was pushed through in the Senate with a significant lift from Colorado Senators John […]
UPDATE: Joe O’Dea blames 9NEWS for the mistake of airing their now off-message pre-primary ad: Update: Campaign says TV station erred. “@9news made an innocent trafficking mistake. We love the ad and we know the station will make it right. No harm, no foul. Sorry Colorado’s small army of left wing Twitter trolls had to […]
We’ve been having a lot of fun with Republican Senate candidate Joe O’Dea’s pretend “regular guy” shtick after he posted a photo of he and his wife on social media marking a recent outing in which they rode their horses to a sushi restaurant. #HorseSushi remains one of the more bizarre things we can recall […]
If Colorado Republicans are to have any hope of winning a majority in the State Senate in November, they probably need to win State Senate District 3 in Pueblo. The Republican candidate in the race, Stephen Varela, is already going to be digging himself out of a hole after numerous media reports focused on calls […]
