UPDATE #3: Nate Marshall not ready to formally resign as candidate in HD-23 (h/t to Ernest Luning of the Colorado Statesman). In a diatribe posted on Marshall's website (all CAPS is how it appears on Marshall's site), the candidate says that Jeffco GOP Chair Bill Tucker "[threw] him under the bus": I AM DONE WITH […]
Lynn Bartels of the Denver Post takes a look at the race to succeed Congressman Cory Gardner in CD-4, which includes a particularly interesting tidbit about the secession issue. Weld County Commissioner Barbara Kirkmeyer has the endorsement of fellow Commissioner Sean Conway, who was one of the ringleaders of last year's disastrous secession efforts. Weld […]
Politico reporter Manu Raju has a strange story up today that doesn't reflect well on Republican Senate candidate Cory Gardner. In the story, Raju seems determined to make his reporting match his pre-determined narrative — that Gardner miraculously cleared the Republican field for Senate — so much so that he virtually glosses over this incredible […]
Great rundown from Lynn Bartels at the Denver Post on how the abortion debate is polarizing Republicans in Jefferson County: The division in the Colorado Republican Party over abortion was apparent during the Jeffco GOP assembly when a low-key nomination for a state House seat turned into a passionate debate on abortion. Nate Marshall, a […]
Media outlets are reporting that Rep. Mike Coffman has joined Rep. Cory Gardner in withdrawing his support of the personhood amendment, which would ban all abortion, but, strangely, reporters aren’t asking Coffman (or Gardner) the logical follow-up question: What is your position on abortion? Does Coffman still oppose abortion, even in the case of rape […]
AP's David Espo takes a high-level look at the last few remarkable days of Colorado politics: Republican Rep. Cory Gardner, moving toward the middle in a Senate race with national stakes, said Tuesday he abandoned his longtime support for measures giving legal rights to fertilized human eggs because it is a "settled issue" at home […]
UPDATE #2: Per Fox 31's Eli Stokols, Rep. Mike Coffman is now doing a Cory Gardner and kicking Personhood to the curb entirely — not just as a 2014 ballot measure. GOP Congressman Mike Coffman is no longer supporting personhood, his campaign confirmed Tuesday, making him the second Republican in the last five days to […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In one of his first posts since re-launching fivethirtyeight.com, Nate Silver picked Udall to win in the 2014 Colorado Senate Race, saying: The GOP got the candidate of its choice in Rep. Cory Gardner, who declared for the race last month. That will prevent them from again nominating Ken Buck, the tea […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Congressman Cory Gardner isn't the only wolf in sheep's clothing on the abortion issue. Extremist Republican candidates routinely attempt to hide their actual agenda regarding abortion rights. Another recent, albeit lower-profile "evolution" in Weld County is the flip of HD 50 candidate Isaia Aricayos. In 2013 Aricayos' website included: "I oppose abortion […]
We've marveled for months at the lengths that Rep. Mike Coffman and his staff have been going to try to re-write Coffman history, even as Coffman still maintains a staunch conservative position from his Congressional office. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to understand that Coffman needs to moderate his image in order to win […]
9NEWS' Brandon Rittiman fact-checks the new Americans for Prosperity TV spot saturating media markets throughout the state, in an able Truth Test that would make his predecessor Adam Schrager proud: If you've watched any TV recently, you've probably seen a conservative group's million-dollar ad buy that started this week, aimed at stirring up anger over Obamacare… The […]
We've updated The Big Line after some big news yesterday. With Owen Hill dropping out of the U.S. Senate race, we've adjusted the odds for the Senate Line to reflect a General Election matchup (sorry, Moustache). Sen. Mark Udall remains the clear favorite here, particularly with polls now confirming that Gardner has very low name […]
Public Policy Polling (PPP) is out with some new numbers in Colorado for both the race for Governor and U.S. Senate. Things are largely unchanged in the race for Senate, even with the inclusion of Rep. Cory Gardner in the race, but it's the fight for the Governor's Mansion where the numbers have really shifted: […]
As the Colorado Springs Gazette's Matt Steiner reports: Less than three weeks after Colorado State Sen. Owen Hill refused to give up his bid for a U.S. Senate seat, Hill is leaving the race and will give his support to the U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner. Hill, of Colorado Springs, said in late February that Gardner […]
UPDATE: Talking Points Memo reacts similarly: Have we heard the last Obamacare "horror" story? If new ads from the Koch Brothers-backed group are any indication, we might have… [W]hat's notable about the ads is what they aren't: A personalized story of someone who's been negatively affected by Obamacare, the kind of verifiable set of facts that […]
The Dems currently hold the majority in the US Senate with an effective 55 (2 are actually independents who caucus with the Dems) – 45 voting majority. Because the Dems hold the Presidency, the Republicans need to pick up 6 seats in order to depose Harry Reid. Do the Republicans need to win the Udall-Gardner […]
In a Tuesday Special Election in Florida, Republicans managed to hold on to a Republican House seat when David Jolly defeated Democrat Alex Sink by a slim 48-46 margin. The campaign in Florida's 13th district was for the right to complete the term of the late Rep. Bill Young, who died last October. Even before […]
The Colorado Independent's John Tomasic has a great recap of this week's big local political story, the abortion ban legislation co-sponsored by 19 Republicans in the Colorado General Assembly that met its demise Tuesday: Although Republican lawmakers, including House leadership, signed on in double digits to co-sponsor humphrey’s bill, something changed in the two months since […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo thinks he can ride his support for pot legalization into the governor's office. That's what he said Tuesday on Michael "Heck've a job" Brownie's KHOW talk show, when Brown asked him how he can "grab the unaffiliated” voters in the general election, if he wins GOP […]
Chateau d'Beauprez, Lafayette, CO. Here's a clip of audio from 2006 2014 GOP gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez's interview with radio host Jimmy Sengenberger that had us blowing soda out our nose when we got it yesterday evening: Transcript–this clip comes just after Beauprez decries new emission standards passed by Gov. John Hickenlooper's Air Quality Control Commission. […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel's Charles Ashby reports: The GOP legislator who helped establish Colorado’s part of Obamacare defended the state’s health care exchange Tuesday. Rep. Amy Stephens told fellow Colorado Springs Republican Rep. Janak Joshi that his bill to repeal the law that created the Connect for Health Colorado health care exchange is the […]
UPDATE 4:35PM: GOP Reps. Bob Gardner and Mark Waller, both pro-life but “reluctantly” unable to vote for an “unconstitutional” bill to ban abortion, join Democrats in voting against House Bill 14-1133. Bill dies on a final vote of 9-2. —– UPDATE #3: Hearing now underway, this Texas-style rotunda photo sent to us from the press […]
(But does he make odds? – promoted by Colorado Pols) "I happen to believe in something else," Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo told KNUS radio host Jimmy Sengenberger last month. "And that is, there is a plan for all of us. God has a plan. I happen to believe that, okay? Do you, Jimmy, believe […]
(Let's set reality aside for a moment – Promoted by Colorado Pols) POLS UPDATE: Apropos to the original post, here's a flyer circulating for a Laura Woods event hosted by Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, who seems to be throwing down hard in the SD-19 GOP primary against Lang Sias: Come for the meeting, stay for the […]
Rep. Mike Coffman has become quite adept at taking multiple positions on specific issues, sometimes flip-flopping within less than 24 hours. As he faces his most difficult re-election challenge, against Democrat Andrew Romanoff, Coffman is trying hard to cut-and-paste over his own record, which his campaign must know is incredibly damaging. Coffman has been an […]
