For coverage of this weekend’s Club 20 debate in Grand Junction between GOP Rep. Scott Tipton and challenger Sal Pace, we turn first to Joe Moylan of the Craig Daily Press: [Unaffiliated candidate Tisha] Casida found herself serving in a spectator role when the debate shifted to cross-examination as Tipton and Pace launched attacks on […]
As the Pueblo Chieftain reports, Wednesday is a big day for normally sleepy Alamosa. Adams State University hosts the first debate matchup that night between GOP freshman incumbent CD-3 Rep. Scott Tipton, and challenger Sal Pace of Pueblo, a state representative. We expect many questions about this race–still considered the biggest congressional pickup opportunity for […]
Although Justin Everett’s nomination as the Republican candidate in House District 22 is all but a foregone conclusion, he and primary opponent Loren Bauman will be facing off tonight at a debate in South Jeffco.
Who knows? This debate might just be the tipping point at which Bauman proves that he’s the more qualified candidate to campaign for and serve in the legislature. Or perhaps Everett will have his “macaca” moment –gaffe-ing so miserably that Republican voters will have no choice but to nominate his opponent.
Then again, probably not. Still, if Bauman wants to have any chance when election day rolls around a month from now, he’ll need to walk away this evening as the debate’s undisputed victor. Likewise, a resounding win for Everett gives primary voters even less reason to pay attention to Bauman’s candidacy.
House District 22 Republican Candidate Forum
Here is your opportunity to meet Justin Everett and Loren Bauman, candidates for the State House of Representatives.Registered Republicans will elect one of these individuals on June 26th to run against other political party candidates in the general election. Candidates will be asked to answer a number of pertinent questions with time allotted for audience questions.
Be prepared to make an informed decision at the June Primary by attending this event.
Where: Columbine Library 7706 W. Bowles Ave
When: Tuesday, May 29, 6:00 – 7:30 p.m.
(In-person, original coverage of a local race — wonderful. – promoted by ProgressiveCowgirl) It was everything I hoped it would be and more. The Candidates all brought everything they had (which is more impressive for some than others) and provided a couple hours of very entertaining discussion in one of the most (if not the […]
UPDATE: Senate Bill 12-015 wins Senate passage on a party-line vote. —– This year’s legislation establishing a better tuition rate for undocumented students, Senate Bill 12-015, is being debated now on the floor of the Colorado Senate. It’s expected to pass the Senate before meeting its true test in the narrowly GOP-controlled House, but Sen. […]
Colorado Christian University, no stranger to political debate, is tonight hosting a debate between former Congressman and Gubenatorial candidate Tom Tancredo and 760 AM drive-time radio host David Sirota.
From CCU:
Occupy Movement vs. the Tea Party
Location : CCU Beckman Center
Start Date : 1/30/2012 7:00 PM
End Date : 1/30/2012 9:00 PMElection year 2012 pits not only the traditional party antagonists of Republicans vs. Democrats, but also two new and potent groups of political outsiders, the Tea Party and the Occupy Wall Street movement. Which of the latter groups represents America at its best? Invited to debate are Tom Tancredo, the conservative former congressman and gubernatorial candidate, versus David Sirota, the progressive author, columnist, and radio host. Join us on Monday, January 30, at 7:00 p.m. in the CCU Beckman Center.
Admission is free but reservations are required. RSVP your name and number of attendees to Centennial@ccu.edu or call 303-963-3424. The Beckman Center is located near the Garrison Street entrance to the Colorado Christian University main campus in Lakewood.
We’re not exactly sure that David Sirota is the best mouthpiece for the Occupy Movement (or that Tancredo accurately represents the Tea Party) but it should be a spirited debate tonight nonetheless.
A fire-belly newt meets the establishment. ABC News: Only three weeks from the Iowa caucuses, the top Republican candidates will square off tonight at a pivotal debate in the state capital. The debate, hosted by ABC News and moderated by Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos, starts at 9pm ET, live from Drake University. The prime-time […]
If you thought the messaging troubles for the Republicans couldn’t get any worse…you were wrong. As ABC News reports, House Republicans managed to figure out a way to make themselves look even worse on the night that they failed to even call a vote on the debt ceiling: Despite what some government officials have billed […]
More polling results from ABC News/Washington Post show — once again — that House Republicans are in deep trouble in their positioning. From our friends at “The Fix“: When asked for their opinions on a wide range of possible ways to bring down the national debt, raising taxes on the wealthy – in a variety […]
Two of Colorado’s more colorful civic personalities, state Sen. Shawn Mitchell and columnist Mike Littwin, formerly of the Rocky Mountain News and now writing for the Denver newspaper, will debate the federal debt-ceiling extension impasse tomorrow night. Moderated by our friend Eli Stokols of FOX 31: The debate, which I’m scheduled to moderate — perhaps […]
Our friends at “The Fix” break down the Winners and Losers from the GOP Presidential debate last night in New Hampshire. Some of the more notable tidbits: WINNERS Michele Bachmann: For viewers who had never heard of the Minnesota Congresswoman before tonight, she put on quite a show. For the first 45 minutes of the […]
Our friends at the Washington Post report, a lot riding on tonight’s GOP presidential debate in New Hampshire–at the top of that list, the true disposition of “frontrunner” Mitt Romney: His moment is here again, in the state where last time the dream unraveled. Monday night, on a stage in Manchester, Mitt Romney will compete […]
The Pueblo Chieftain’s Peter Roper updates on the most unfortunately-timed hearings in recent memory, over a proposal to construct a nuclear power plant outside Pueblo–where, proponents strain to point out, there is a very low risk of earthquakes, and even lower risk of tsunamis. They came to stop it Wednesday night – at least 500 […]
As a courtesy warning, if you have no interest in what happens east of Greeley, Limon or Pueblo, this diary is long and not likely for you. On Friday, October 29 Pols front-paged an article posing the question of whether the Republican’s will take the majority in the Senate. Absent was any mention of the […]
Airing tonight at 6PM on Denver’s KCNC CBS 4. To start off our discussion this evening, here’s an amusing mashup of a number of GOP candidate Ken Buck’s more memorable statements–we were anonymously forwarded just ahead of gametime: Yes, it’s not really meant to be flattering, but we think it’s instructive to post this 40 […]
Last night, Libertad posted a diary on Coloradopols commenting on Betsy Markey’s recent decision to pull out of the debate sponsored by The Coloradoan & 9 news. Referencing a recent article in the Coloradoan itself, he writes: Shocking news from CD4 comes with a last minute announcement from the Congressman to refuse a debate with […]
That loud “D’Oh!” you hear is coming from Republican strategists all across Colorado. According to a joint press release sent out by the gubernatorial campaigns of Democrat John Hickenlooper and Republican Dan Maes (full release after the jump), the two candidates have agreed to 9 more debates through Oct. 29. This is terrible news for […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Other than perhaps drug policy reform and some civil liberties issues, I rarely agree with the Denver Post’s conservative/libertarian columnist Vince Carroll on policy issues. However, his recent piece on what voters should be able to expect from candidates is right-on. Indeed, it is a must-read jeremiad against the […]
Because I love you all, I would do it here but I’ll have it at squarestate tonight. I was told you can listen to it live at KRDO. Thank you for playing.
(Not the legislature’s finest hour, folks – promoted by Colorado Pols) Rep. Mark Ferrandino’s attempts to cap interest rates on payday lending in Colorado stalled Friday in the Legislature, the Denver Post’s Tim Hoover reports, as House leaders postponed a vote because two Democrats were absent. The margin could be as close as a single […]
In the Denver Post’s editorial section today, gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis lays out the reasons for his pledged refusal to debate opponent Josh Penry–that is, aside from raising more money and burying Penry in early polls: There is so much on the line for Colorado’s economy, and the need for a new direction on several […]
(Bumped into Tuesday with additional thoughts – promoted by Colorado Pols) From Politics West: GOP gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis told the Associated Press this afternoon that he has no plans to debate fellow Republicans Josh Penry and Dan Maes. This, of course, means that staffers/supporters of his opponents will start descending upon McInnis events wearing […]
235 comments in the first thread and 170 in the second, we’re just trying to keep things from getting too scrolly like the good hosts we are. And, action! Remember, this whole thing is riding on you (sockpuppets take note).
Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals meets the Flat Earth Society, as the Greeley Tribune reports: An oil-lobby funded rally will come to Greeley on Tuesday to sway residents against upcoming climate change legislation. The event, billed by the American Petroleum Institute’s “Energy Citizens” as a rally for jobs and affordable energy, has been called by […]
(Clearly, they’ve never met “Swastika Guy” – promoted by Colorado Pols) The conservative blogosphere has been going after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi this week over her claim that health-care reform opponents are “carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on health care.” An example here: http://wizbangblog.com/content… Responding to the “where’s the proof” […]
