( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Why The GOP Is Going Extinct By Muhammad Ali Hasan Originally published in the Huffington Post – thank you Matt Sledge, Ethan Axelrod, and of course, Arianna Huffington. ARTICLE: It is not a joke – the Republican Party is on its way to extinction. Scientifically, political extinction happens when […]
Congrats, Dems. You won the senate race. Of course, if people really knew who Ken Buck and Michael Bennet were, they would have chosen Ken hands down. You successfully managed to use the corrupt Dem machine to take down a good man and replace him with a dishonest patsy. Welcome to politics as usual (or […]
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, […]
It’s such a slow Pols day with most everyone still suffering from their post-election-day hangover, I thought I might share this. (I received this satire earlier today as an e-mail from a friend, no link available. Author unknown.) Begging the Dead Guvs indulgence. Heck of a note when 7 year olds can decide who […]
We can tell you that a lot of Democrats took the ultimately unsuccessful defense of Colorado Treasurer Cary Kennedy quite personally, and felt some emotion when they got this today, well after her fate was known: I called Walker Stapleton last night and offered him my congratulations. Walker has my full support, and I ask […]
24 hours: nothing. I’ll give it until Monday, and then the justice begins. By my count, here on CoPols, I won two different bets. GOPWarrior and H-Man owe me. GOPW – Perlmutter beat Frazier. $50 H-Man Bennet beat Buck $50 1) http://www.coloradopols.com/sh… Buck v Bennet straight up? We already know Bennet bought his win […]
Nothing personal against Senator Biden, but the Sarah Palin – teabag type of GOP is here to stay. Whomever the 2012 GOP ticket consists of, its probably a safe bet that one of the spots will be a mama grizzly aka Palin or Haley. Having Hillary in the VP slot will provide a buffer to […]
[Journos call ’em thumbsuckers: words that don’t require the writer to pick up a telephone, take a stroll, etc.] The 2010 election was: –a tsunami –hurricane –tornado –The People Speaking with volume turned to [10] [9] ]8] ]7] [6] [5] ]4] [3] ]2] [1] –another election in a series that all take place in a […]
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 […]
If, tonight, a Libertarian candidate gets more votes than the margin of difference in a Republican loss, I know what I’ll hear: “YOU COST US THE ELECTION!!!!!” Allow me to reply now, just in case, so I can refer all complaints here: 1) Republicans and Democrats make the election rules. Do not complain when we […]
A lot has been made about our senate race being the top race this cycle in terms of money spent. The media and this site would have you believe that the big money has been spent in our state simply because it is a “dead heat.” Well I am here to say two things. This […]
You guys seriously thought you could foist this joke of a senator on us? Bennet on Boyles: http://completecolorado.com/AU… Even a two year old could answer questions better. It appears Bennet himself has finally given up. And the hits just keep coming… Silverman endorses: http://www.khow.com/cc-common/…
From The Hill, the latest spending reports show where Democrats think they need it–as in here: The spending included $425,000 against Republican Ken Buck in Colorado; $610,000 against former Rep. Pat Toomey (R) in Pennsylvania; $270,000 against Republican Dino Rossi in Washington state; and $163,550 against Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska). In the first three races, […]
Ken Buck has one more day to lay out an apology to Colorado–and score some political points in this tough race. Two journalists, you recall, ABC’s Jake Tapper and NBC’s David Gregory, asked Buck if he regretted how he handled aspects of a 2005 rape case, including his public comment that a jury could consider […]
As a courtesy warning, if you have no interest in what happens east of Greeley, Limon or Pueblo, this diary is long and not likely for you. On Friday, October 29 Pols front-paged an article posing the question of whether the Republican’s will take the majority in the Senate. Absent was any mention of the […]
“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 […]
As it turns out, the “Bad 3” ballot initiatives–Amendments 60, 61 and Proposition 101, haven’t turned into the litmus test issue for conservatives they were once portended to be. Actually, that’s not really fair, they have served a valuable purpose, along with the birth control and abortion ban Amendment 62, in dividing practical conservatives from […]
Yep, according to Buck’s campaign manager, John Swartout, this site is part of Bennet’s genius social media strategy to smear Buck with his own words… From Politico: “We don’t have Huff Post, ThinkProgress, Colorado Pols,” Swartout said. So there you have it. Any of the crazy things Buck has said has been publicized by these […]
This sort of got buried and ignored previously, but it looks like it is coming back up, so I wanted to re-flag some of this information for folks. I am very curious about this rumor that has been floating around in the comments sections etc. of some of our local papers about Buck’s record of […]
Back in May of 2009, we first employed what seemed to be an apt analogy to describe GOP Secretary of State candidate Scott Gessler: “Fox for Henhouse Secretary.” At the time, we were commenting on Gessler’s strained opposition to a petition reform bill before the legislature–he’s given us a number of opportunities since then to […]
What a surprise. When the revelations about the rape case first came out, the newspapers told us that the call where the rapist admitted the rape couldn’t be used in court. I challenged this assertion at the time http://www.coloradopols.com/sh… Nobody wanted to believe me, the Buck apologists challenged me and the media didn’t do its’ […]
Is party loyalty really all that important on down-ticket races next week? For at least one well known Denver Democrat the answer seems to be a very loud No. This week, one-time Hickenlooper campaign manager and ’08 Convention COO Paul Lhevine recorded a robocall urging voters to support Republican Christine Mastin who is challenging Democrat […]
Pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee, and settle in for a dastardly tale of late season campaign hijinks. It took me the better part of the wee hours of the night last night to ferret out the details, so listen up! It all started a few days ago, when a curious ad […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Time and again, Ken Buck has sided with big business over Colorado families. Now, Buck argues that healthcare reform should be repealed and he has provided only vague details on keeping healthcare affordable for working families. During the October 15 ABC/Chamber of Commerce debate, ABC news correspondent Jake […]
The video above inspired me to write this. I was an early supporter of Ryan Frazier when he began campaigning for this 2010 election cycle as a Senate candidate. I was disappointed that he dropped out but it was probably for the best given that it was long shot for him to win even without […]
