UPDATE #2: More local reactions coming in via the Aurora Sentinel: GOV. JARED POLIS: “Coloradans do not want politicians making their healthcare decisions. Because of my administration and Democratic leadership in the legislature, Coloradans don’t have to worry because our rights are still protected today despite the unfortunate reality that the U.S. Supreme just rolled […]
We’ve spent some time during this primary election season discussing the work product of a particular local political reporter, Shaun Boyd of CBS4, not due to the quality of her journalism but the revealing manner in which Boyd has maneuvered to openly assist the institutionally favored Republican candidates running for the party’s nomination in the […]
We’re tracking the change over time. Who do you think will be the Republican nominee for Congress in CO-03? Can Rep. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert hold off State Sen. Don Coram, or will unaffiliated voters and disaffected Republicans send “Q*bert” packing back to Rifle? Click below to cast your vote! *Remember, as always with our totally […]
The Daily Beast’s Roger Sollenberger reports on the latest threat to freshman GOP wrecking ball of crazy Rep. Lauren Boebert’s infamous Shooter’s Grill in Rifle–and this time it’s not back taxes, COVID-19 restrictions, or even food poisoning threatening to close the doors, but rather a landlord looking for a better quality tenant: Shooters Grill, the […]
CNN reports while the nation comes to grips with a major decision by the new 6-3 conservative U.S. Supreme Court that could drastically alter the debate over gun control policy in the United States for generations: The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a New York gun law enacted more than a century ago that […]
9NEWS’ Erin Powell reported yesterday on the latest political flight of fancy in arch-conservative Douglas County–a half-baked proposal from GOP DougCo commish George Teal to purchase, annex, or otherwise wrest control of scenic Daniels Park from its present owners, the City and County of Denver’s Mountain Parks system, in a huff over Denver’s recent passage […]
Fresh off a journalistically dubious attempt to manufacture controversy around mailers and ads targeting the Republican Party’s red-hot primary elections next Tuesday, CBS4 political reporter Shaun Boyd is back with another grabby headline in the expectedly fraught U.S. Senate contest between equally unknown contenders “Rando” Joe O’Dea and state Rep. “Raging” Ron Hanks: That’s right, […]
This week in episode 112 of the Get More Smarter Podcast, your hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii make their final prognostications in advance of the June 28th Primary Election with the help of Armin Thomas of Split-Ticket.org. We’ll also discuss calls from The Denver Post to shutter the Benson Center for Western Civilization Thought and […]
It’s been a few weeks since we last asked this question. What say you today, Polsters? Next week we’ll go through all of these recent polls and take a look at how the momentum perception has (or has not) changed. In the meantime, who ya got on Tuesday? Will it be State Rep. Ron Hanks […]
I am a Mom on a Mission to protect our children and give power back to parents and teachers (not unions). Please read this piece in @WarRoom on what I will do as the NEXT Colorado Governor! #SchoolChoice #Transparency #HeidiForGovhttps://t.co/jFofCAMo98 — Heidi Ganahl for CO Gov (@heidiganahl) June 21, 2022 With the Republican Party primary […]
With the state of Colorado in a rare and temporary condition of having plenty of revenue resulting from a quick recovery from the economic disruption of COVID and lots of federal relief money still working its way out the door, state economic forecasters had good news for the legislature’s Joint Budget Committee today–and thanks to […]
UPDATE: On Monday, O’Dea said that the Affordable Care Act should NOT be repealed. On Tuesday, he said…something different: If you support what former President Trump wanted to do to the ACA, as O’Dea suggests, then you support gutting it altogether — because that was Trump’s oft-stated goal. — We are now just one […]
Last week, struggling Republican gubernatorial candidate Hiedi Heidi Ganahl relented from her months-long self-imposed media blackout in order to sit down with a number of news outlets, presumably in order to counter the growing sense that Ganahl is hopelessly unprepared for the nomination she’s seeking. As we reported Friday, it has not gone well. It […]
As previewed earlier this week, the Democratic comms and polling outfit Global Strategy Group along with liberal activist group ProgressNow Colorado released their latest Mountaineer quarterly poll–and as long as you’re a Democrat living in Colorado not named Joe Biden, it’s encouraging news: Democrats still lead Republicans on all partisan metrics, which have stayed remarkably […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) by Sean Price, Colorado Times Recorder Earlier this month Republican candidate for U.S. Senate Joe O’Dea said that senators should look at raising the minimum age for buying an AR-15-style gun, a semiautomatic rifle often used in mass shootings, from 18 to 21. O’Dea, speaking on KOA’s Ross Kaminsky Show, was asked if he would […]
The June 28th Primary Election is just 11 days away. Let’s do some more informal polling, shall we? Readers of Colorado Pols are traditionally pretty accurate in predicting the outcomes of elections in our state. We want to know what you’re thinking today about the Republican race for Governor. Do you think topline candidate Greg Lopez […]
UPDATE: Mike Littwin of The Colorado Sun has more: The heat must have gotten just hot enough — damn that global warming — that Ganahl finally told the Colorado Sun and News4 she wished Eastman “had not involved CU in the whole conversation on what happened with Jan. 6 and the president. But I also […]
UPDATE: It was brought to our attention that last night’s CBS4 report, which insisted on only giving “Wendy’s” first name to highlight the supposed danger, in addition to publicizing the address to “Wendy’s” home that was the whole basis of the alleged privacy concerns, actually disclosed Wendy Meritt’s name in full along with the home’s […]
Last week, several Catholic bishops along the Front Range issued a controversial opinion that Catholic Colorado lawmakers who support the Reproductive Health Equity Act, this year’s codification of abortion rights into state statute ahead of the anticipated repeal of Roe v. Wade, should not take part in the sacrament of Communion–an extremely harsh penalty only […]
The House committee investigating the insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021 is holding its third public day of hearings today in what has become must-see television for many Americans. Today’s focus will be on threats made to Vice President Mike Pence, but we also suspect that former University of Colorado visiting professor (and Donald Trump lawyer) […]
It’s getting smaller in the rearview mirror every day, but 20 years ago the politics of Colorado were very different. In 2002, Colorado Republicans reached the peak of their power, completing the trifecta of holding the governor’s office and majorities in both chambers of the state legislature. And then it all started to slip away. […]
This week in episode 111 of the Get More Smarter Podcast, your hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii catch up on a whole bunch of political news. We’ll go through the latest updates on the big political races in Colorado as the Primary Election draws near and explain why Republicans are flipping out over television […]
As the Washington Post’s Annie Linsky reports, Republican primary elections in several key states yesterday reveal the extent of ex-President Donald Trump’s enduring grip on the Republican Party in 2022. And for Republicans who claim the party is ready to move on from the 2020 elections and chart a future course without Trump, yesterday was […]
As POLITICO reports: People who joined Georgia GOP Rep. Barry Loudermilk for a Capitol tour on Jan. 5, 2021 photographed and recorded places “not typically of interest to tourists, including hallways, staircases, and security checkpoints,” according to materials released Wednesday by the Jan. 6 select committee. “The behavior of these individuals during the January 5, […]
