Conservative polling outfit McLaughlin and Associates is not normally where Democrats look for good news, but this weekend’s poll of Colorado voters is undeniably positive for Democrats and crushing bad news for local Republicans: Topline and crosstabs here. Incumbent Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet’s eight-point lead in this poll doesn’t fully capture the dilemma for opponent […]
In other news not related to the potential theft of nuclear secrets by a former President, the House of Representatives did a very important thing today. As The Washington Post reports: House Democrats on Friday approved a sprawling bill to lower prescription drug costs, address global warming, raise taxes on some billion-dollar corporations and reduce […]
UPDATE #2: Via POLITICO, Republicans are starting to feel the hangover from their “defend Trump” bender earlier this week: As new information emerged about the circumstances behind the FBI search, the contrast grew starker between Republicans advancing a knee-jerk defense of the former president and those who are simply calling for additional disclosures from DOJ. […]
As Republican U.S. Senate candidate Joe O’Dea hits the campaign trail, his flight to the center to compete in this leftward-trending state continues to run up against the hard reality of a Republican Party that thwarts O’Dea’s Cory Gardner-style trickery. Last week, O’Dea fumbled an attempt to put daylight between himself and former President Donald […]
It’s poll time, Polsters. This week we’re asking you to predict the outcome in the race for Secretary of State in 2022. Will incumbent Democrat Jena Griswold win re-election, or will Republican Pam Anderson find a way to finish in first place? *As always in our completely non-scientific polls, we want to know what you THINK […]
The “Generic Congressional Ballot” is moving inarguably toward Democrats in recent weeks, another sign that the 2022 midterm elections might not be as favorable for Republicans as once thought. The GCB has long been a closely-watched metric in any election for trying to understand how support for Democrats or Republicans is changing over time. If […]
UPDATE: Here’s the full transcript of Garland’s remarks, via The New York Times. —– Attorney General Merrick Garland delivered a statement this afternoon regarding a search conducted four days ago at former President Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago in Florida. Garland said that he personally approved the FBI’s execution of the search warrant and announced that […]
The Colorado Republican Party is well aware that the abortion rights issue is going to sink many of its candidates in 2022. Democrats continue to pick up ground in recent polling, in large part because overturning Roe v. Wade has pushed abortion rights to the top of the list of concerns for voters across the […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) by Logan M. Davis and Amber Carlson (This article was originally published in the Colorado Times Recorder) The top Republican in the Colorado House of Representatives worked to conceal his involvement with a political consulting firm from his colleagues in the legislature, according to hundreds of pages of never-before-published sworn testimony. The […]
The passage in the U.S. Senate last weekend of the long-sought budget reconciliation bill making historic investments in combating climate change, helping communities that have been hurt by industrial pollution, saving people money on health care, and (most important for some) paying for all of this by modest new taxes on corporations and replenishing depleted […]
As Colorado Newsline’s Sara Wilson reports, yesterday most of the upper slate of Colorado Republican candidates up for election this November came together for a rally to showcase their united front going into the 2022 midterm elections–a redux of the original much-maligned “Commitment to Colorado” rally one year ago organized by Colorado Republican Party chair […]
Republican Hiedi Heidi Ganahl kicked off her campaign for Governor last September with a series of interviews that were a complete disaster, punctuated by a laughable attempt to get tough with 9News reporter Marshall Zelinger (“Why all the divisive questions?“). She blamed the media for her own failure to answer basic and very obvious questions, […]
After Democratic U.S. Senator Michael Bennet memorably ribbed his wealthy self-funding Republican opponent Joe O’Dea for “riding their horses to buy sushi in his fancy neighborhood,” O’Dea obligingly released a new campaign ad this morning with footage of O’Dea galloping through Denver’s tony southern suburbs–where in case you didn’t know, a few very rich people […]
Senator Michael Bennet was a guest on MSNBC with Chris Jansing recently when he was asked about the fact that his Republican opponent, Joe O’Dea, alleges that Bennet is out of touch with Colorado voters. Bennet’s response was a good one. Click here for the entire 6-minute interview, or watch below for the #HorseSushi: […]
This week in a SPECIAL EPISODE of the Get More Smarter Podcast, your hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii talk with Colorado Sen. John Hickenlooper about the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and his efforts to help get Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) to agree to the biggest Climate Change reduction bill in […]
As the Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul reports, a new poll from Global Strategy Group on behalf of Democratic CD-8 candidate Rep. Yadira Caraveo resets expectations in place after another GSG poll on the race from before the June 28th primary: A poll conducted from July 26-Aug. 2 on behalf of Democratic state Rep. Yadira Caraveo’s […]
The big political news today is the stunning report that federal agents on Monday raided Mar-a-Lago in search of documents that former President Trump may have been hiding in violation of federal law. As The Washington Post reports: Trump said Monday that the FBI had raided his Mar-a-Lago Club and searched his safe — activity […]
As readers know, the state has enjoyed a healthy temporary bounty of revenue over the last couple of years, and under the 1992 Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, revenue arbitrarily determined by TABOR’s Byzantine formula to be “excess” must be refunded to taxpayers through a variety of prescribed means. This year, the Democratic majority in the […]
Colorado Public Radio’s Caitlyn Kim reports on the big news from the weekend–after a marathon “vote-a-rama” in the U.S. Senate that saw attempts from right and left to alter and therefore scuttle the Inflation Reduction Act, a massive reconciliation spending bill making historic investments in combating climate change along with changes to health care and […]
The Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul turns his attention today to a topic we’ve spent some time with in recent weeks after former Weld County commissioner and state Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer won the GOP primary to run for Colorado’s brand-new CD-8 seat in Congress. As Weld County commissioner in 2013, Kirkmeyer was one of the principal […]
Republican Erik Aadland announced this week that his campaign for CO-07 has received the endorsement of former Congressman and Presidential candidate Tom Tancredo. This is not much of a surprise given that Tancredo endorsed Aadland for U.S. Senate back in September 2021 (Aadland dropped out of that race to run for CO-07 in December 2021). […]
FRIDAY UPDATE #2: Attorney General Phil Weiser calls for this video to be pulled down and for candidates on both sides to condemn its violent rhetoric: Political ads suggesting gun violence have no place in Colorado or our political discourse. This out-of-state dark money group should pull this ad down. I urge elected officials and […]
UPDATE #2: What the hell is going on here? NEW: @ODeaForColorado campaign confirms O’Dea would still vote for Trump in 2024 if Trump is the Republican nominee. #copolitics #cosen https://t.co/mTAyfLux7c — Kyle Clark (@KyleClark) August 5, 2022 And with that, Joe O’Dea walks back today’s walk-back of his prior support for Donald Trump. What does […]
You know the routine, Polsters. This week we’re asking you to predict the outcome in the race for State Treasurer in 2022. Will incumbent Democrat Dave Young win re-election, or will perpetual Republican candidate Lang Sias win just his second race in six tries? *As always in our completely non-scientific polls, we want to know […]
As the Washington Post reports this morning, new unemployment figures from the Department of Labor blew away the expectations of analysis, with the economy adding over 500,000 new jobs in the month of July: The unemployment rate edged down to 3.5 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, reaching its lowest point since February […]
