When you hold the title of preeminent newspaper in Colorado, candidates, seeking votes from large swaths of the electorate, cherish with anticipation your endorsement. Those receiving the endorsement will trumpet from the ramparts the validation as if it were a coronation. Leaving those snubbed to predictably downplay the significance. All the while the media will […]
A sudden burst of hilarity invaded the #COpols Twitter hashtag yesterday, on the heels of the announcement by the Denver newspaper that they have endorsed GOP Rep. Cory Gardner in CD-4: “Fake” Dan Maes, Scott McInnis, and Jane Norton all send their, uh, “congratulations.” We assume this is all the same person–but it’s a fine […]
In order to figure out what is really going on out there, don’t spend too much time listening to what people are saying, or reading the PR they put out, or thinking through the numbers of the latest semi-released poll. And for goodness sake, don’t take 90% of the pabulum served up on ColoradoPols as […]
In a poll released today by The Hill, 11 of 12 House Democrats are trailing Republicans, and while we can’t tell you more in the way of analyzing the results for other races, we can postulate some ideas on the CD-4 polling results. We mentioned this poll briefly in an earlier post, but the significance […]
More from the “unintended consequences” department: We’d say Ken Buck got out of the way of this train wreck in the nick of time, wouldn’t you? Has Cory Gardner ditched Amendment 62 yet? Was it a good idea for every Colorado GOP gubernatorial and Senate candidate, and lots more downticket, to have at some point […]
(The word of the day is “haruspicy” – promoted by Colorado Pols) With the election only a month away, and most mail ballots going out in the next couple of weeks, I guess it is time to make my predictions. I didn’t do as good with the primary results as I usually do, so now […]
The major Denver newspaper published a story today that could well prove devastating to GOP hopes of recapturing the Colorado legislature this year. A significant number of Republican candidates have rather splashy and, in a number of cases, quite recent criminal backgrounds–at least some of which do appear to be race-ending. A smaller number of […]
United States Senate This week there was a new poll performed for CNN/Time http://www.realclearpolitics.c… The poll shows Buck leading Bennet 49 to 44, up slightly from last week’s Rasmussen poll which had Buck leading 49 to 45. Of the five most recent likely voter model polls, Buck has polled 49% in three of them and […]

( – promoted by Colorado Pols) The BigMedia question of the week is, are any of the 33 candidates who endorsed the Personhood Initiative, (the Personhood 33) other than Ken Buck, clued into the fact that the measure would ban stuff like the Pill and IUDs? You recall last week Buck withdrew his endorsement of […]
(This was in our queue of items to write about, but Mr. Salzman beat us to it. Our clip of the comments in question added – promoted by Colorado Pols) In a KBDI Channel 12 debate Sept. 17, News4 reporter Terry Jessup asked Gualberto Garcia Jones of Personhood Colorado about GOP support for the Personhood […]
( – promoted by ClubTwitty) United States Senate There was one poll out last week by Rasmussen http://www.rasmussenreports.co… showing the race as Buck 49%; Bennet 45%; others 3%, undecided 3%. Nate Silver at the New York Times gives Buck a 72% chance of taking the seat and he projects that the make-up of the new […]
Think Colorado incumbent Democrats in DC are safe? The Republican establishment sure doesn’t think so. In the last week there has been signifacant support thrown into the Colorado Senate race and in two more congressional district races. On the Senate front, the NRSC has sure made the Dems hope for a rift between them […]
The National Rifle Association (NRA) will endorse Democratic Rep. Betsy Markey in CD-4 in what is a major blow to the campaign of Republican challenger Cory Gardner, who has been trying to cast Markey as a straight-up liberal in Congress. As The National Review reports: Her opponent Cory Gardner’s campaign manager Chris Hansen flatly told […]
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 […]
All the prognosticators seem to agree that the US Senate race and the US House races in Districts 03, 04 and 07 are competitive and that the House races in Districts 01, 02, 05 and 06 are not. Is there something magical about the candidates in those districts that are not competitive that if only […]
( – promoted by ClubTwitty) For months, Cory Gardner has been touting on his campaign website his membership in the NRCC ‘Young Guns’ program, an organization that helps top Republican challengers across the country win highly coveted congressional contests like the seat held by CD-4’s Betsy Markey. Now, it also provides an ideological blueprint for […]
Yesterday, ColoradoPols in a front page story reported Betsy Markey is alive and well and poised to stave off the wolves at the door. They saw no evidence that she will be cut off from needed national support and that CD-4 was the battleground district in Colorado. The ultimate paragraph is as follows: All of […]
As the New York Times reported Saturday, much to the delight of local Republicans hoping to keep up with this “wave year,” some hard decisions await Democratic strategists. Everybody knows it. In the next two weeks, Democratic leaders will review new polls and other data that show whether vulnerable incumbents have a path to victory. […]
Lost in the hubbub about the Dan Maes for Governor saga was a story about the first public poll in CD-4, which Republicans have breathlessly used to claim that GOP candidate Cory Gardner is going to easily defeat Democratic incumbent Rep. Betsy Markey. The Fort Collins Coloradoan reported on the poll this morning, blindly restating […]
Interesting news today from Missouri, via the campaign for Democratic Senate candidate Robin Carnahan: Missouri media outlets have pulled two misleading attack ads against Robin Carnahan being aired by Congressman Blunt’s corporate special interest allies. This weekend, a Missouri network including 77 radio stations pulled a false attack ad being run by Americans for Job […]
According to a recent poll by Republican firm Magellan Strategies, Republican challenger Ryan Frazier leads Democrat incumbent Rep. Ed Perlmutter 40-39, with 11% undecided (MOE +/- 3.4%). While the Frazier campaign certainly wants to trumpet this poll as a sign that he can defeat Perlmutter, we don’t see it yet. This is the first public […]
We’ve gotten a couple of emails on this subject, so we thought we’d put a list together and see if the Pols community could help us fill it out. Which top-ticket Republican candidates (all statewide and congressional seats) have endorsed GOP Gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes, and who has yet to offer their public support? REPUBLICAN […]
UPDATE: The Associated Press is now reporting, but remember, friends…you read it here first. — UPDATE #3: FOX31’s Eli Stokols: Three of the legislature’s most conservative senators, Dave Schultheis of Colorado Springs, Scott Renfroe of Greeley and Kevin Lundberg of Berthoud, are part of the 11-member travel group, which includes most of the “Republican Study […]
(I’d like to see a diary from the Republicans up there too – promoted by DavidThi808) I’ve been quiet for a good long while of late, because there’s work to do up here in Larimer County. Still, it was good to take a moment away from my county map long enough to see that […]
