The Hill reports–it's true what you've heard! The Obamanation himself–coming to Colorado to help Sen. Mark Udall! What could it mean? Will they sacrifice babies and kittens to Allah? Will they stop your children from reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, and/or take away their salty, sugary snacks which is just as bad? Will they singlehandedly raise […]
FOX 31's Eli Stokols reports on the continuing reverberations from Tuesday's stunning ouster of U.S. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor by an underdog Tea Party-backed challenger: With precious days left to sway primary voters, three of the four Colorado Republicans seeking their party’s gubernatorial nomination are aligning themselves with the anti-establishment wave that just toppled the second […]
No, I'm not talking about Eric Cantor. And I'm not talking about Cory Gardner, either. Tonight's diary award winner is blowhard Texas Representative Steve Stockman. Stockman challenged Sen. Jon Cornyn in his state's primary and lost, which means that – fortunately – he won't be haunting the halls of Congress next year. But today we […]
Our friends at "The Fix" take a look at the looming leadership battle coming to Capitol Hill in the aftermath of Rep. Eric Cantor's stunning Primary loss: Twenty-four hours ago, the interesting leadership race among House Republicans was scheduled for next January and was expected to feature questions about House Speaker John Boehner's future. The […]
As CNN reports: Rep. Eric Cantor is expected to relinquish his leadership position as the No. 2 House Republican after losing his Virginia primary in a stunning upset, a senior GOP source tells CNN's Dana Bash. Cantor is expected to step aside as majority leader on July 31. The decision sets up a leadership scramble […]
WEDNESDAY UPDATE #2: Would anyone care to speculate what nationally syndicated conservative pundit Michelle Malkin means by this? Big congrats to @DaveBratVA7th – & kudos to @ingrahamangle for cranking it up. Anti-amnesty revolt has just begun. Colorado is next! — Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) June 11, 2014 We assume she means Tom Tancredo, since Malkin is […]
A new ad from GOP CD-4 candidate Scott Renfroe brands fellow Republican primary contender Ken Buck as a flip-flopper for his ill-fated abandonment in 2010 of the "Personhood" abortion ban: The primary election is just weeks away, but this ad is an example of how the battle to succeed Rep. Cory Gardner in staunchly conservative CD-4, which will be […]
On Monday, President Obama and the EPA announced new proposals to cut carbon emissions from power plants by 30% before the year 2030. Between Republican lawmakers and representatives from the oil, gas, and coal industries, there was much gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands over the news. Here's what happened next, in no particular […]
UPDATE: ProgressNow Colorado issues statement pointing to Colorado Republican candidates who are Climate Change deniers: “In a time when Republicans in Congress are determined to sit on their hands and do nothing for the rest of the year, President Obama’s leadership on this issue is critical,” said ProgressNow Colorado Executive Director Amy Runyon-Harms. “Conservatives in […]
It's no secret that a certain section of Colorado Republicans are doing everything they can to convince Tom Tancredo to exit the race for Governor, fearing that Tancredo will cripple the entire GOP ticket should he win his Party's nomination in June (a fear that may be misplaced, in our opinion). But the man Republicans […]
Republican Rep. Mike Coffman is one of many Members of Congress to call for the resignation of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki as part of the ongoing scandal surrounding care at VA Hospitals around the country. But as Aaron Cole reports in the Aurora Sentinel, Coffman's voting record doesn't exactly match his rhetoric: Aurora U.S. […]
With Memorial Day weekend right around the corner, you may have missed the news late Friday that supporters of "Initiative 75," one of several potential fracking-related ballot measures, have received judicial approval to begin the signature-gathering process. As the Denver Post reported: The measure, backed by Colorado Community Rights Network, would give local governments "the […]
A great analytical piece from Politico's Todd Purdum this weekend makes points that observers of Colorado politics should keep in mind, and have been borne out by Colorado's recent political history as we'll explain: It’s the predominant paradox of contemporary American politics: If Republicans prevail in this year’s midterm congressional elections, it will be because […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) So I attended the Pueblo County Republican Party Meeting on May 13, 2014. My intent was to go incognito, as a generic interested Puebloan, and to find out what Marilyn Marks, (left) the featured speaker and Colorado elections activist, had to say about elections in Pueblo, as well as how the […]
The Denver Post's Lynn Bartels reported yesterday evening, and it rates a mention from us too: U.S Sen. Mark Udall today showcased his previous life climbing 14s with a 14-point list on BuzzFeed that mixes summits and senatorial life — and might even be more interesting than any ad his campaign is planning… “For Mark […]
FOX 31's Eli Stokols reports on a new poll that validates something we've been saying for weeks: measures working their way toward the ballot to enhance local control over oil and gas drilling are also good politics. We understand this fact may upset some conventional wisdom: According to the statewide poll by RBI Strategies, which […]
UPDATE: Via Jason Salzman, Tom Tancredo responds on talk radio today: “You know, and I told [Beauprez] at the time, ‘Look,’ – because he was saying, ‘You get out of the race. I’ll get in.’ And I said, ‘Bob, I have 7,000 contributors.’ You know what, Peter? It’s now over 10,000 individual contributors to my […]
Yesterday's story of the endorsement by 2012 GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney of gubernatorial contender Bob Beauprez, resulting at least partly from Beauprez's support for Romney on the presidential campaign trail in 2008 and 2012, got us thinking: what has Beauprez said about the central component of both Romney's and President Barack Obama's health care reform plans–the […]
(Um – Promoted by Colorado Pols) GOP gubernatorial candidates will be debating the issues from a "feminine perspective" May 20 at the conservative Centennial Institute, housed at the conservative Colorado Christian University (CCU), presided over by the conservative former Sen. Bill Armstrong. Here's a description of the debate topic: The Women of Centennial Institute, a […]
As FOX 31's Eli Stokols reports, it's a match made in heaven: Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is endorsing Colorado gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez, FOX31 Denver is first to report. Romney, who lost the 2012 presidential contest to President Barack Obama, will officially endorse Beauprez in an email that will be sent out later […]
Politico reports, as whatever moral high ground Republicans may have enjoyed in the much-politicized investigation(s) of the 2012 terrorist attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya is ceded: A number of Republican candidates and conservative groups have openly used the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks in Benghazi, Libya, as a cash grab. And that’s likely […]
We talked earlier about the disastrous anti-Obamacare hearing that Republicans held today in an Energy and Commerce subcommittee (of which Colorado Rep. Cory Gardner is a member). Republicans tried grilling insurance executives over Obamacare in order to pull out some juicy sound bites…but they had a difficult time getting answers to questions that, quite frankly, […]
UPDATE: The Colorado Independent takes a look at Rep. Cory Gardner and his political maneuvers around Obamacare, and includes a link to today's House Committee hearing in which Gardner tries desperately to get insurance executives to answer his questions in the most anti-Obamacare fashion possible. You can see from Gardner's five minutes of questioning below […]
WINNERS LOSERS 1. Colorado students This year, Colorado finally began the road back from years of devastating budget cuts to our public schools and colleges. Thanks to an improving economy and sound budgetary decision making, the state was able to restore $100 million in funding for our colleges and universities and begin to restore […]
The Washington Post reports today on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's new ad campaign in support of Republican candidates, including Colorado's Cory Gardner and Mike Coffman: Chamber of Commerce: The Chamber will start running 13 new ads today on behalf of Senate and House Republicans in what spokeswoman Blair Holmes described as a "massive campaign."
