Sandra Fish writes for Politics Daily: Republican State Treasurer Walker Stapleton, elected this fall, is the second Colorado elected official to continue consulting with a former employer… “As state treasurer, they’re supposed to be investing for the state of Colorado. What if there are state funds that are invested in this company?” asked Luis Toro, […]
From a press release from Attorney General John Suthers this morning–former Secretary of State Bernie Buescher is taking a job in Suthers’ office, filling the post of Deputy Attorney General for the State Services Section. Suthers’ appointment of Buescher is yet another case of those who know the longtime civil servant seeing a value in […]
Polsters, please correct me if I’m wrong, but it’s not customary for the secretary of state’s office to host a welcoming reception for the new secretary of state, right? I received the following e-mail (after the jump) and thought to myself, “Surely Scott Gessler isn’t going to have the taxpayer-funded secretary of state’s office pay […]
End of year Last year at year end I made some predictions What’s Going To Happen in 2010 Colorado Politics I missed a few – but I also got some right. So let’s do it again. 2011 The script is already written for the biggest local political story, whether it’s treated as such or […]
The Colorado Statesman’s Leslie Jorgensen reports: If state Republican Party Chairman Dick Wadhams were handed a report card for his performance in the 2010 election cycle, he would be awarded high marks by traditional GOP activists and flunked by several tea party groups. The anti-establishment mood that wafted over tea party rallies – and was […]
This week, in a post-election interview InnerView with editor Jody Hope Strogoff and reporter Ernest Luning of The Colorado Statesman, Democratic State Chair Pat Waak lent some of her insights into the mixed bag Democrats were handed on election night, where she sees the party headed, her Republican counterpart Dick Wadhams (who gave his own […]
From the Colorado Independent, watchdog group Colorado Ethics Watch has convinced the state Supreme Court to hear its case against two rather stiltedly “not political” committees: In its first Supreme Court case ever, Ethics Watch is seeking to overturn a lower court ruling siding with the two groups – Senate Majority Fund and the Colorado […]
(The last surviving member of our pre-election trolls, No2Dems, has been trying to break out of the troll category and join the broader pols community. On this subject, at least, he seems to have succeeded. – promoted by Voyageur) Amendment 62 was voted down by a large margin, again, in a 1.1 million to 474,000 […]

Click below to read about the big Losers of 2010… Polling Firms A couple of days before the election, David Flaherty, president and CEO of Magellan Data predicted that […]
With the dust from the 2010 election (mostly) settled, it’s time for our Winners & Losers. Today we’ll give you the Winners, and tomorrow, the Losers. Click below to read about the big Winners of 2010… WINNERS Michael Bennet In a huge Republican year, in the most expensive and competitive Senate race in the country, […]
UPDATE (11:25): The big Denver paper and many of the other big TV stations have some major problems with their reporting. The Denver Post, for example, had Buck ahead of Bennet 48-46, on the strength of a 52-45 advantage in Boulder. A quick check of the Boulder Clerk and Recorder’s website has Bennet leading Buck […]
I don’t think it takes a great mind to know there will be several recounts after returns are counted tonight — and into tomorrow — in some counties. Every election, there’s a mayor or city council race that ends up being tied or split by one or two votes. Usually those take place in smaller […]
“Colorado Election 2010: The Final Word TM” — www.Colorado2010.com — will broadcast two hours of final debates and appearances of the campaign featuring… • Ken Buck (U.S. Senate – R) • Tom Tancredo (Governor – ACP) • Dan Maes (Governor – R) • Bernie Buescher (D) & Scott Gessler (R) (Secretary of State) • Stan […]
Ok, here they are for all of October through this morning. My ads are set to display on any search in Colorado. So this shows you what is being searched on in Google for this election. Keyword repeats – I have multiple ad campaigns on some keywords, so each is listed differently. Total use of […]
There are two major narratives taking shape in Colorado, one of which will emerge as the definitive story of the 2010 elections here. The first is the one you know, because you can’t visit a media outlet without hearing it over and over: 2010 is a Republican “wave year,” Democrats are desperately fighting against an […]
First off I’m moderately liberal (or as it’s described up here in Boulder, a right wing reactionary). But I try to be even-handed and fair when I lay out the choices in the state level races. Second, we Democrats have done a lousy job at the federal level. But at the state level I think […]
A rare glimpse inside the conservative mind. Crossposted from facebook: Endorsements (General Election) by [bjwilson83] on Wednesday, October 13, 2010 at 12:33am With general election mail-in ballots being mailed out today (or yesterday, by the time I finish writing this), it’s time for my endorsements. Here’s who I’m voting for: U.S. Senate: Ken Buck Ken […]
(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 financial reporting period for state races running between July 29 through September 1 is now available online. Here’s how the statewide candidates stack up. Keep in mind that cash-on-hand amounts are deceiving at this point, since many candidates have already spent big chunks of money to buy advertising spots (with exceptions for Dan Maes […]
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. […]
(Interesting discussion about what the odds should be – promoted by DavidThi808) Earlier this week, polling was released in some Federal office races. Rasmussen has the Republican Ken Buck up over the Democrat Michael Bennet 49 to 45. Magellan has Republican Ryan Frazier over Democrat Ed Perlmutter in CD-7, 40 to 39. Scott Tipton released […]
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 […]
The reporting period for candidates running for state-level races ended last week, the first monthly reporting deadline now that we have closed within six months of the General Election. Click below to see our Winners & Losers from the fundraising period that was, and let us know in the comments section about candidates for the […]
The Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports: Politics and fear caused Colorado House Speaker Terrance Carroll to nix introducing an election-reform measure this session, the Denver Democrat said Wednesday. Carroll said an idea to extend voter registrations closer to Election Day and other reforms that drew sharp criticism from Republicans was enough to kill the […]
According to “Hotline” (subscription required), Sen. Michael Bennet had one of the hottest burn rates in the country in Q1: Spent Most In 1stQ McMahon ($4.82M), McCAIN ($3.06M), LINCOLN ($2.00M), Rubio ($1.83M), Fiorina ($1.66M), Lowden ($1.58M), Binnie ($1.54M), BENNET ($1.31M) [Pols emphasis], REID ($1.03M), Toomey ($1.03M) Ordinarily we’d tell a cautionary tale about spending so […]
