Markey, Gardner Tied in GOP-Leaning Poll

As The Ft. Collins Coloradoan reports: Democrat Betsy Markey and Republican Cory Gardner are in a dead heat with less than eight weeks until Election Day, according to a poll released today by the Markey campaign. The poll is a stark contrast to one released last week by a Republican-affiliated group, which showed Gardner with […]

The ‘Young Guns’ Plan for Economic Insecurity

( – promoted by ClubTwitty) For months, Cory Gardner has been touting on his campaign website his membership in the NRCC ‘Young Guns’ program, an organization that helps top Republican challengers across the country win highly coveted congressional contests like the seat held by CD-4’s Betsy Markey.  Now, it also provides an ideological blueprint for […]

Reminder: Hickenlooper Owns Gubernatorial Race

Just a quick note, the Colorado Independent relays that Democrat John Hickenlooper raised just north of $400,000 last month. Meanwhile, the conservative People’s Press Collective reports wistfully on fundraising by Tom Tancredo and Dan Maes: In Dan Maes’ first month as Republican nominee and Tom Tancredo’s first full month as an American Constitution Party candidate, […]

What is the DSCC thinking?

Worst Ad Ever The DSCC is on the air with another new ad targeting Ken Buck that is so lame it doesn’t pass my smell test, even though I know the ad is factually true. Scary Narrator Voice: Listen to Buck on whether he’d rewrite the Constitution and our right to vote for our own […]

GOP Openly Recruiting Green Party Candidates in Arizona

As the New York Times reports, about as audacious as it gets: Mr. Pearcy and other drifters and homeless people were recruited onto the Green Party ballot by a Republican political operative who freely admits that their candidacies may siphon some support from the Democrats. Arizona’s Democratic Party has filed a formal complaint with local, […]

Bennet Leads Buck as Third Party Candidates Pull Votes

New bipartisan polling data released today shows the U.S. Senate race to be a dead heat, while the race for Governor is what we all thought it was — in the bag for Democrat John Hickenlooper. According to the polling memo, Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet leads Republican Ken Buck 43-40, while Hickenlooper (48%) is running […]

Stop Loss Troops Due Back Pay

Uncle Sam wants to give free, no-strings-attached money to about 145,000 troops who were involuntarily kept on duty after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, but is having trouble persuading them that it’s not a gimmick. WashPo If you are or you know any military personal who were stop-loss after 9-11-01 please forward this article to […]

Where do we place our defensive line?

In the Battle of the Bulge (WWII) the allies first priority was to hold the shoulders (edges) of the German advance while falling back as needed in the pocket. Holding where they must while temporarily retreating where necessary was key to minimizing the impact of the German offensive. This election is going to be bad […]

Top 10 reasons the conservatives are getting shafted in the Governor’s race

(Really interesting post-mortem – promoted by DavidThi808) So I decided to give a shot at this whole dairy thing and write about the 10 people/groups that are fault for giving conservatives the shaft. now granted this is written from my perspective as a small government type.   10.) The Tea Party and 9/12 movement. Let’s […]

New CD-4 Poll is Swell…If You Don’t Care About Accuracy

Lost in the hubbub about the Dan Maes for Governor saga was a story about the first public poll in CD-4, which Republicans have breathlessly used to claim that GOP candidate Cory Gardner is going to easily defeat Democratic incumbent Rep. Betsy Markey. The Fort Collins Coloradoan reported on the poll this morning, blindly restating […]

Labor Day Religious Tax Fest!!

[title updated to encourage more views 🙂 – Car 31] Some of you may know more about Larry Sabato who is the Director of U of Virginia’s Center for Politics. His analyses and predictions have been accurate over the years, more accurate than many pundits and polls. His latest predictions are that the US House […]

Let them eat cake? A blue blood vs. the common man.

One of the themes in the Colorado Senate race is class.  No I don’t mean whether Mrs. Bennet or Mr. Buck had any when they both showed up at Andrew Romanoff’s birthday party.  I mean class in terms of strata of society.   Senator Bennet is an incumbent who has never previously run for office. […]

Last-Ditch Attempt to Force Maes Out Underway?

THURSDAY UPDATE #6: The Wall Street Journal puts Dan Maes’ name in lights again, accorded the no-small honor of Quote of the Day: Enjoy the ride, Mr. Maes. Whatever happens tomorrow, he’s writing his poetry and the newspapers are printing it. THURSDAY UPDATE #5: FOX 31’s Eli Stokols Tweets from today’s debate: THURSDAY UPDATE #4: […]

Pulitzer Prize-Winning Gazette Reporter Resigns

We were pleased last fall to note a new addition to the reporting team at the Colorado Springs Gazette: we knew about the work of Eileen Welsome from the 1990s during her time at the Albuquerque Tribune. Welsome won a Pulitzer Prize for her reporting on government radiation research on human subjects during the Cold […]

Making a Maes Of It: RГ©sumГ© Padding, Unsigned Checks, and Prior Appropriations

Dan Maes just can’t catch a break.  Seems that the best he can hope for is that people will just STFU, or maybe that Paris Hilton will be caught with a bag of cocaine at the Wynkoop. Certainly exposure is doing him no good. It would seem that name recognition is no friend of Dan […]

Tom Tancredo Interview

This was a surprising interview. I expected to mostly be discussing illegal immigration and why that was the key issue in the race. Instead I found Congressman Tancredo to be primarily concerned with the lack of integrity in Dan Maes and secondarily concerned with the state of our public schools. And yet, Tom’s instinct is […]

Fox 21 news director says “Buck’s people are throwing us under the bus”

(We can’t help but feel a little bit vindicated – promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATED with comment from Buck campaign. I was rushing out of town last week, and unfortunately I just missed a phone call from Joe Cole, News Director and weekday anchor at Fox 21 in Colorado Springs. I had called Cole for […]

Payday Lenders Lose, Consumers Win

As the Pueblo Chieftain’s Patrick Malone reports: Payday lenders will be required to give pro-rated refunds to customers who pay off their loans early. Under enforcement rules adopted Tuesday by the Colorado Attorney General’s office, payday lenders cannot keep origination fees for their loans… Representatives of the payday lending industry testified Tuesday before the Council […]

U.S. Combat in Iraq Ends…Now!

As of right now, 3:00 p.m., U.S. Combat Operations in Iraq are over. From CNN: Almost seven and a half years ago, President George W. Bush launched a blistering “shock and awe” invasion of Iraq. The goal: Eliminate a perceived threat of weapons of mass destruction while replacing a hostile, tyrannical regime with a friendly […]

Payday Lenders Write Fat Checks to GOP Senate, House Efforts

At the same time as Attorney General John Suthers was taking a total of over $10,000 from various sources tied to the payday lending industry–donations now the subject of controversy as Suthers’ office proposes new regulations on the industry–more evidence has emerged that payday lenders are intensely focused on Colorado races this fall up and […]

The issues that matter

Reading ColoradoPols one might conclude that the voters in the Senate race are concerned about abortion rights, the continued existance of the departments of education and energy or LBBT issues.  Perhaps many on ColoradoPols are.  The electorate, however, really doesn’t care.  Think this is the raving of your favorite right-wing pollster?  Well it is, but […]

Time is running out on Tancredo.

Update #2: Tancredo is ineligible to run on the ACP ticket. http://www.theconstitutionalis… ————————————————– Update #1: Tancredo has raised $156,000. Dear [redacted], My campaign is only $19,000 away from our goal for tomorrow’s filing deadline. We are so very close. Would you please make a generous contribution of $50 or $100 today? With your help, I […]

Rasmussen Tightens Senate Race

Last Wednesday’s Ipsos poll showing GOP Senate candidate Ken Buck up by nine points over Democrat Michael Bennet widened a lot of smiles on the right side of the aisle–Republican-friendly polling firm Rasmussen Reports sobers them up today. The U.S. Senate race in Colorado between incumbent Democratic Senator Michael Bennet and Republican challenger Ken Buck […]
