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 […]
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) […]
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 readers know, Colorado Republicans are furiously sounding the alarm over ads running ahead of the June 28th primary attacking Republican candidates for U.S. Senate and governor Ron Hanks and Greg Lopez. Republican strategists interpret these ads as an attempt to boost what they consider to be the undesirable candidate in the race–in the process […]
Remember Cory Gardner? How can Colorado forget his two-faced lies and games? In 2022, Joe O’Dea is trying to do the same thing. O’Dea condemned Colorado’s new law codifying abortion rights. He said repealing Roe v. Wade would make abortion a “local issue.” Then O’Dea tried to walk it back. O’Dea now says he supports […]
With all sides in the debate over abortion rights in America bracing for a decision this month that could well spell the end of the landmark Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court precedent guaranteeing abortion rights, an issue once aggressively downplayed by Colorado Republicans aware of their political liabilities is now a litmus test for […]
National political debate during the month of May has been dominated by the leak early this month of a draft U.S. Supreme Court opinion that would, if adopted, overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey decisions guaranteeing abortion rights to all Americans. The overturn of Roe would result in the immediate […]
As posted to Republican gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl’s Instagram a week ago, speaking to party faithful on a tour of southern points in the state: Look closely at the image displayed on screens beside Ganahl while she talks to voters: As you can see, the local party (It’s not clear whether this is Fremont or […]
A development shocking for its immediacy if not wholly unexpected, Politico reporting via an unprecedented leak that the U.S. Supreme Court has voted to overturn both Roe v. Wade and its affirming subsequent decision Casey v. Planned Parenthood, throwing abortion rights into jeopardy across the nation where statutory and/or constitutional protections do not already exist, […]
(You’ve come a long way, Joe O’Dea — Promoted by Colorado Pols) by Sean Price, Colorado Times Recorder According to FEC contribution filings, Denver businessman and Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Joe O’Dea donated to U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) during his 2010 campaign. O’Dea is trying to unseat Bennet this November and has been critical of the […]
We laughed over the weekend after political neophyte Republican U.S. Senate candidate Joe O’Dea was obliged to pull down a campaign ad that featured footage of Russian fighter jets overlain by the slogan “SUPPORT MILITARY”–which during the present state of conflict between Russia and most of the world over the invasion of Ukraine was a […]
Two years ago today, Republican Rep. Scott Tipton was assumed to be cruising to another term in a solidly-Republican district in CO-03. In April 2020, there was little reason to think that unknown upstart Lauren Boebert could pose a serious challenge to the six-term Congressman from Cortez. Two months later, Boebert would go on to […]
In today’s Unaffiliated newsletter from the Colorado Sun, an interview Wednesday by former DA-turned AM radio host George Brauchler of Republican candidate for governor Heidi Ganahl represents the latest attempt to get Ganahl definitively on the record answering what should be a simple question: whether she believes the 2020 president election was rightfully decided in […]
We’re moving on to the Round of 16 in our bracket of the Worst Campaigns in Colorado (This Century). If you missed the first round, click here to get caught up. Click after the jump for the breakdown of the first round contests as we see them…
Republican candidates for Congress in the new CO-08 got together last Thursday for a debate/forum at KHNC radio in Johnstown, so we decided to listen in and peck out another of our world famous “Debate Diaries.” The forum was sponsored by a group called the Youth Federalist Initiative (YFI), which touts itself as some sort […]
As the Washington Post reported yesterday evening, a new court filing from the Select Committee investigating the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th and the plot by ex-President Donald Trump to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election directly alleges that crimes were committed by Trump and attorney John Eastman, the alleged […]
Religious-right conservatives who wield tremendous power in the Colorado Republican Party’s base coalition have pursued an agenda of totally banning abortion for many years, making the practice of abortion a felony outright as well as attempting to impose time limits and other medically superfluous restrictions, through both legislative means as well as statewide ballot initiatives. […]
Like these alerts? Click here to subscribe. Here in Colorado, abortion rights were the law before Roe v. Wade extended those rights to everyone in America. In 2022, a radical shift at the U.S. Supreme Court has changed everything. Abortion rights that were once guaranteed across America are facing a threat that was considered unthinkable […]
Colorado Newsline’s Sara Wilson reports from a candidate forum held Sunday in Fort Collins by a group calling itself the “Colorado Conservative Patriot Alliance”–not quite as overtly threatening as “United American Defense Force,” but still all man–featuring a very interesting cross-section of Republican candidates for elected office in 2022 up and down the ballot: “Republicans […]
As the Colorado Sun’s Sandra Fish reports, a convenient short-lived primary challenge from a candidate no one has ever heard of has provided Republican gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl the chance to undo an odd and inexplicable error she made early in her campaign (among so very, very many), accepting campaign spending limits prescribed by Amendment […]
We were tipped off this morning about a filing yesterday by former Republican Speaker of the House Frank McNulty to run for the post of University of Colorado Regent, representing the state’s heavily conservative 4th congressional district after McNulty’s home in Highlands Ranch was lumped with most of the Eastern Plains on the new congressional […]
The Republican candidates for U.S. Senate met on Tuesday evening (Jan. 25) for a candidate forum at Colorado Christian University in Lakewood. The forum was moderated by State Republican Party Chairwoman Kristi Burton Brown and Republican political operative Michael Fields, who is presented as the “President of Advance Colorado Institute,” whatever that means. Lakewood, BTW, […]
Ex-President Donald Trump promised repeatedly on the campaign trail in 2020 that he would only accept the results of an election he won. That was just one of many clear signals sent by Trump and his movement in 2020 that the only acceptable outcome of the election would be a Trump victory, which as readers […]
We’ve written over and over again in this space that Republican Hiedi Heidi Ganahl is running the worst gubernatorial campaign in the entire country in 2022. We’re not wrong, and here’s more proof: Ganahl is planning a big “2022 Kickoff” for her campaign…nevermind that she already did that back in September. As we wrote last […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) A leading Colorado Republican, who lost a bid for statewide office in 2018, is counseling fellow Republicans not to dodge questions on abortion in this year’s election, saying people won’t accept statements like, “It’s a tough issue to tackle.” “That’s going to become an issue that every single person running for […]
