From Rasmussen Reports: Is independent Tom Tancredo now becoming the de facto Republican candidate for governor of Colorado? He’s now moved to within four points of Democrat John Hickenlooper to turn the race into a toss-up. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Colorado finds Hickenlooper with 42% support, while Tancredo, the […]
Yes, my friends, that is the picture of Hickenlooper’s imploding campaign. I get to gloat a little bit, because I’ve been predicting this all along, while almost everybody on this site has denied it. http://www.rasmussenreports.co… Yep, Hickenlooper is in trouble. He’s only leading 42-38, and that still allows for 12% Maes. Enough may switch to […]
UPDATE: The flyer handed out at today’s press conference: We discussed yesterday how Republican Senate candidate Ken Buck hasn’t done himself many favors by trying to moderate his pre-primary positions. As we’ve said time and time again, looking like a flip-flopper is far worse than having particular positions that some voters may disagree with, but […]
From our friends at “The Fix“: A new poll of battleground districts shows Republicans still poised to make big gains in November although the outlook has brightened somewhat for Democrats since the summer. The NPR News poll, which surveyed likely voters in 86 competitive districts held by Democrats and 10 held by the GOP, found […]
One reason reporters should insist on talking directly to political candidates, and not their spokespeople, is to make it harder for public officials to change a position without explaining themselves. If a spokesperson makes a statement, and the candidate later changes his tune, the candidate can simply say that the spokesperson got it wrong or […]
Contrary to Pols’s shameful attempt to destroy Ken Buck’s reputation, it turns out that, in fact, Ken Buck has a superb record on prosecuting rape cases and supporting the victims. Do you see an update to their original story? Anything? No. Crickets. Because that would, um, show the Democrat smear machine to be a complete […]
If you’ve been reading the news coverage of U.S. Senate candidate Ken Buck’s decision not to prosecute a man who admitted raping a 21-year-old University of Northern Colorado student in 2005, you know there’s a major omission: Ken Buck himself. He’s not quoted in stories in The Denver Post, Associated Press, Politico, Roll Call, Politics […]
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 bit of a long read, but worth taking a look in a race that has garnered little attention to this point. The large Denver newspaper has an interesting story on a half-million dollars in fines run up by a committee that Gessler is in charge of overseeing. – promoted by Colorado Pols) This year, […]
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 harassment or discrimination. Normally, I’d dismiss a rumor cluttering the comments section, but after the same rumors about his DoJ record proved to be true, I think we […]
. Some folks stood by Dan as the weak-kneed fell by the wayside: those committed Republicans who are not swayed by questions of right or wrong, or even consideration of weak or strong, who would support their party even to the gates of Hell, which is where today’s unprincipled GOP would take us as a […]
(Uh… – promoted by Colorado Pols) When I got home yesterday, there was a rolled-up election circular in my door. Usually, I toss these things, but it was from the Arapahoe County GOP, so I decided to give it a look-over. The main brochure, an 8×11 double-sided full color affair, had pictures of all the […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) CO Republican Senate candidate Ken Buck’s flip-flopping (known on the blogs as “buckpedaling”) is well known in CO. Now, the story’s gone national. Rachel Maddow showed a clip of Thursday’s Senate debate in Pueblo where US Senator Michael Bennet seems to have had enough of Ken Buck’s lies, and […]
Can’t see the audio player? Click here. We thought it only fair, after the considerable argument yesterday over conservative radio host and Denver Post columnist Mike Rosen’s comments in a debate with liberal radio host David Sirota earlier this week regarding the proposed Park 51 Islamic cultural center in New York, to listen to his […]
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 […]
Due to popular demand — well, DaftPunk asked for it, anyway — the sig line of the month contest is back. DaftPunk was the winner of the last contest with his much apprecicated Bill Maher quote about Sarah Palin :” She wrote tax cuts” on her hand. A Republican so stupid she had to […]
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 […]
UPDATE: Click after the jump to see some of the comments on Dan Maes’s Facebook page about this endorsement. They had us laughing out loud. —– We’re really going to miss Republican Dan Maes when his campaign for governor comes to a close. He’s just too much fun. Today Maes announced via Facebook that he […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) The DLCC (Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee) each year picks the top races they feel are key to retaining or gaining control of the various State Legislatures. Out of this year’s 2010 DLCC Top 40 Races, a full 10% (4 seats) are from Colorado – the most of any state. […]
When is the next Sig Line of the Month contest? DaftPunk Your wish is my command, DaftPunk. Of course, my commands don’t mean anything except to my ever-obedient sockpuppet BJwilson83 (boy do we have you polsters bamboozled on that one.) But, anyway, DaftPunk’s quote, from Bill Maher, about Sarah Palin “She wrote tax cuts […]
(A very well-researched effort by MOTR. I lean toward supporting the recall of Merida, but this diary is definitely food for thought. – promoted by Voyageur) Let me start off stating the obvious–I’m no fan of Andrea Merida and have been vocal about some of her decisions, particularly her lack of disclosure regarding her paid […]
( – promoted by ClubTwitty) UPDATE: Response by Colorado Right to Life: “Mr. Vande Krol was reported to support Personhood by a volunteer who said he spoke to him, but this is not a reliable method of knowing of someone’s stand, and he has also not responded to our survey,” Bob Kyffin, custodian of the […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) A PPP poll out today shows Michael Bennet taking a 1 point lead over Ken Buck 46-45. While independents are not too fond of either candidate, Bennet has taken a 10 point lead among. A closer look at moderate voters shows a lot of trouble for Buck. They see […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Republicans and American Constitution Party members are finally beginning to realize that if Tom Tancredo succeeds in drawing away massive numbers of Republican votes from official GOP nominee Dan Maes, the results could be devastating to the entire Republican Party for the next four years and could be very […]
Don’t Vote Republican The Republicans think the fall elections will put them back in control of the House and Senate. Here is what we have to look forward to if that occurs: Rollling back the Democratic health care reform–like the Republicans ever had a plan, other than don’t get sick. Cut Veterans benefits. After all […]
