There is a certain amount of buffoonery associated with Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez that almost makes us wish his name was always on the ballot. He's like a cartoon character that keeps standing on the big X on the sidewalk, even though he knows it will result in a piano falling on his head. He […]
Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Gessler launched an ad yesterday attacking his rival Tom Tancredo as a loser because Tanc lost his 2010 campaign for governor. The conservative radio world isn't buying Gessler's attack. In a conversation with Tancredo a couple weeks ago, here's what KNUS' Dan Caplis had to say on the topic: CAPLIS: I like Scott, […]
FOX 31's Eli Stokols reports–it's a beautiful ride, so why not? Spandex generally isn’t a good look for politicians–for anyone, really–but that’s not inhibiting Mike Kopp, who launching a statewide bike tour this Friday in an effort to connect with voters in every corner of Colorado ahead of next month’s GOP gubernatorial primary. Kopp, a […]
Heard on the latest “Devil’s Advocate” show, hosted by libertarian/conservative Jon Caldara: Caldara: Now, let’s assume for some reason, you couldn’t run for this primary. You got struck by lightning. Who would you throw your support behind? Who would you like to see win that primary? … Tom Tancredo: I would like to see Bob […]
(Oi vey – Promoted by Colorado Pols) The Colorado Springs Gazette tried to make an argument this week that gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo stands further out of the mainstream than his rivals, Bob Beauprez, Mike Kopp, and Scott Gessler. Even if you missed last night's 1950's revival at Colorado Christian University and you haven't read […]
We're at Colorado Christian University in Lakewood for Live Blog coverage of the GOP Gubernatorial Debate. We've got Bob Beauprez, Scott Gessler, and Mike Kopp battling it out once more. Tom Tancredo is not here, as expected. They're calling this "Women and Colorado's Future." *All comments are paraphrased unless in direct quotes. FINAL THOUGHTS This […]
9NEWS' Brandon Rittiman breaks the news, Texas Gov. Rick Perry is wading into the Colorado Republican gubernatorial primary! And that means, of course, that the other three candidates are gone. Scott Gessler, Tom Tancredo…and who's the third one again? You can add another former GOP presidential contender to the list of people endorsing former congressman Bob […]
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 […]
(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 […]
Leafing through GOP gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez's expenditure report, we found this item, which–to be clear–isn't by itself unusual in the least: At the end of March, Beauprez's campaign paid GOP-aligned consultant firm Magellan Strategies $1,000 for a voter ID phone bank–a very routine service to help candidates identify likely supporters. The funny thing is, Beauprez hired […]
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 […]
Fundraising reports for all Colorado statewide candidates are now available, and as we do every quarter, we break down the numbers in our handy chart and provide some context with Winners, Losers, and (our newest category) Disasters. We took an early look at the numbers as they trickled in late yesterday, but below we break […]
A story in this weekend's Denver Post from reporter John Aguilar discusses a voter registration ordinance up for debate in the Denver suburb of Westminster–a proposal that's attracting lots of conservative attention, being labeled a "political ploy" intended to help a Westminster city councilor in a bid for election. Let's unpack this silly-season story a […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) I was all set to write a blog post this morning about Scott Gessler saying on the radio that his Republican gubernatorial opponents are all losers, including Mike Kopp who, Gessler said, presided over the Republicans' disastrous legislative-election collapse in 2010. Gessler told KNUS talk-radio host Jimmy Sengenberger a couple weeks ago: […]
Last week 9News held a debate between Republican gubernatorial candidates Bob Beauprez, Scott Gessler and Mike Kopp (GOP frontrunner Tom Tancredo did not participate and continues to refuse any debate invitations). As we noted in this space, the candidates were asked about Cliven Bundy, the openly-racist Nevada rancher who has rallied armed supporters to back […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The Durango Herald got it right Thursday by leading its report on 9News’ gubernatorial debate with the news that “three Republican candidates for governor said they would probably repeal a law passed last year granting in-state tuition to students who immigrated illegally.” News coverage of the debate among Republican gubernatorial candidates, […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: The Colorado Independent's Mike Littwin: Each took the question. Each took a shot at Harry Reid. And each chose not to mention the race issue. Yeah, I was puzzled, too. Had they missed the news? Do they believe the ugly stereotype about Republicans and race? Did they really think that this was the […]
Lynn Bartels of the Denver Post is first to write up today: Gov. John Hickenlooper beats all four Republican rivals in a new poll that shows he's favored by women voters and has a slight advantage with crucial unaffiliated voters. Of the four GOP candidates on the primary ballot, former Congressman Tom Tancredo presents the […]
UPDATE: FOX 31's Eli Stokols: Beauprez, who had just three weeks to get the 10,500 signatures required to make the ballot after entering the governor’s race in late February, initially appeared to have fallen just short, despite spending upwards of $200,000 on the petition collection effort. The Secretary of State’s office decided to do an additional […]
UPDATE #2: FOX 31's Eli Stokols updates with further response from Tancredo, who insists he is neither looking at the Jeffco superintendent's job nor an exit from the gubernatorial race: Tancredo responded to this story Tuesday afternoon, telling FOX31 Denver that he’s not the least bit interested in the Jefferson County superintendent’s job, or looking for an […]
UPDATE: We hear that a friend and advisor of Tancredo is discreetly asking questions about the possibility of Tancredo being approved as Jeffco Schools Superintendent. This would be a clever move for one of Tancredo's gubernatorial opponents — to leak that he is looking at dropping out of the race — but that doesn't seem […]
UPDATE #2: An interesting twist in the gubernatorial primary, FOX 31's Eli Stokols: In a bit of a surprise, former state Sen. Mike Kopp narrowly won the top line on the June GOP primary ballot in the fight for the chance to challenge Democratic Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper this fall. Kopp took 33.6 percent of […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Delegates at the state Republican convention will vote Saturday to pick one or more of the GOP gubernatorial candidates who will appear on the primary election June 24. But delegates will not have the option of voting for Bob Beauprez, who's the only Republican GOP gubernatorial candidate who's decided to skip […]
An update from Carrie Canterbury of the Canon City Daily Record: Tougher laws and harsher penalties to better protect American citizens, limiting control of the federal government and doing away with Common Core were a few of the hot topics discussed during Saturday's Republican gubernatorial candidate forum at Mountain View Core Knowledge School. Hopefuls Bob […]
