I took some grief for suggesting Andrew Romanoff was playing the sympathy card when he sold his house a few days ago, suggesting it was a “shameless media grab” from a guy who went to Yale and possibly lives off of a family trust fund. Today, I ran across a great article from “Face the […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) In a debate with Ken Buck on Sunday’s YourShow, Adam Schrager’s thoughtful public affairs TV show on Channel 20 that solicits questions and show-topic ideas from viewers like you, Jane Norton cited Schrager’s own Truth-Test reporting to support her contentions that 1) under Ken Buck, the Weld County DA […]
A group called “New Leadership Colorado” sent out a press release late this evening showing Democrat Andrew Romanoff within striking distance of Sen. Michael Bennet in the race for the Democratic nomination for Senate. “New Leadership Colorado” claims that it has no ties to either Romanoff or Bennet, but obviously their interests are with Romanoff […]
With recent national endorsements and the support of loyal Tea Partiers behind him, Bob McConnell has a real chance in the GOP Primary for CD3. Claiming the mantle of ‘citizen-leader’ (i.e. not-a-politician) McConnell came within 10 points of his Republican opponent, Scott Tipton (who unsuccessfully challenged incumbent John Salazar in 2006) at the State Assembly. […]
We’ve talked before about the negative effects that could affect the entire Republican ticket given their meltdown in the Governor’s race. Today MSNBC takes a look at the carnage and offers a sobering historical lesson for Republicans: There’s at least one previous case of GOP intra-party turmoil in one race spilling over into down-ballot races. […]
From Talking Points Memo: Looks like it’s not just Republicans in Colorado who are having a rough time dragging their campaigns across the primary finish line. Earlier, we reported how Democratic Senate candidate Andrew Romanoff sold his house to give his campaign a financial boost. Now, Denver school board member Andrea Merida has resigned from […]
The Wall Street Journal reports today about the growing anger among Tea Partiers with Republican American Constitution Party candidate for Governor Tom Tancredo: Six months ago, former GOP Rep. Tom Tancredo was cheered at the National Tea Party Convention. On Monday, he announced a third-party run for governor of Colorado-and many in the state’s tea-party […]
More and more media outlets are reporting what you Colorado Pols first reported two weeks ago: That national Republicans have pulled the plug on trying to win the Colorado Governor’s race. As MSNBC’s First Read writes today: We have three takeaways after listening to the Tancredo-Wadhams debate: 1) It was clear that the GOP has […]
Democrat Andrew Romanoff has sold his Washington Park house and used most of the proceeds to shore up his underfunded Senate bid against incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet. As Eli Stokols of Fox 31 reports: Romanoff, who bought his home one block of east of Washington Park in the 1990s, sold it to a developer for […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Post-Primary Update: 2010 is really fucking with my accuracy %!!! ******************************************** It has been my usual practice to make election predictions before every primary and every general. In the past I have made predictions in all state offices including the legdislative seats. And have been highly accurate, not 100%, […]
UPDATE: Col. Dave Lapan, Defense Dept. spokeman, said “Just because they are posted on the Internet, doesn’t make them unclassified”. Guess that makes them public unclassified documents. “Only a free and unrestrained press can effectively expose deception in government. And paramount among the responsibilities of a free press is the duty to prevent any part […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) POLS UPDATE #4: What follows, from the Peter Boyles show on KHOW this morning, is possibly the most disastrous media appearance of Dick Wadhams’ political career–and as the man who handled the response to George Allen’s “Macaca” moment, that’s no small statement. Can’t see the audio player? Click here. […]
According to Tancredo this morning on the Boyles’s show. Wadhams calls TT a liar and then Boyles jumps in and says he has heard the same thing from Wadhams. Boyles says Wadhams has told him a number of times that both of the candidates are jokers. It was fireworks as the Republican party continues to […]
Watching the proxy battle being waged in the Senate primary, I think it’s time that the players on both side put an end to the conflicts of interest and commit to complete transparency. The clouds hanging over the motives of Andrea Merida, Theresa Peña, Tom Boasberg and to lesser degrees other members of the DPS […]
“You can have your own opinions, but not your own facts” is the trendy political quote of the year, it seems. Romanoff’s biggest message in the campaign against Bennet is the accusation that Bennet can be “bought” and has been bought, by special interests. Bennet sat back and took the line for six months, not […]
It’s easy to dismiss so-called “tea partiers” as unsophisticated, under-educated mad hatters who are attacking the existing political structure without a structure of their own to replace it. Easy, right insofar as it goes, but inadequate and counter-productive. The original “Tea Party” is part of the national mythology; so, too, is the contemporary tea party […]
I am writing this from There, CO (elev., well, not sure exactly, but we’re pretty high), one of America’s Cities of Most Desirables, right along with Denver Country Club and Cherry Hills, according to Megabuckzine’s latest ratings. No question, it’s lovely here in There. Everything seems so new, so fresh! Great shopping, although admittedly quite […]
Trevor, really dude? Even as Bennet’s supporters are calling for civility between bloggers, ( http://www.coloradopols.com/di… ) you are poking your finger in the eye of civility. And, that would not be so bad if you had not won an award for being one of the “50 Most Beautiful People on the Hill” who quote was […]
Last month, I asked Bill Menezes for his thoughts on the state of journalism in Colorado. (See his response here.) A few questions came up later that I thought were legitimate. So I tossed them to Bill, and he was kind to take time to answer them below, via email. Bill is a former reporter […]
Re: http://www.denverpost.com/elec… Two years ago, we had a tight group of political friends in town. We all worked our asses off to get Barack Obama elected. During the campaign, we worked ridiculously long hours, ate pizza (only) until it made us sick, hassled every friend we ever knew to have house parties and put up […]
I asked this question in a post on a thread, and was surprised that I didn’t get any real answers, which surprised me, so an anonymous poll which follows will now give folks an easier way to estimate the percentage of opposition to President Obama they believe to be motivated by race, rather than policy. […]
46%-37% It’s too bad this had to happen at the same time as Tancredo’s announcement, but significant none the less. Yes, this is a Magellan poll, but comparing it to previous Magellan polls gives a good indication of the dynamics of the race. http://buckforcolorado.com/ken… Interesting findings of the survey: Buck has a fairly solid lead […]
UPDATE: Republican State Party Chair Dick Wadhams is none too happy about Tancredo’s ultimatum: I am terribly disappointed in Tom Tancredo’s announcement that he has made a backroom deal with a minor political party to run for governor. Tom Tancredo used the Colorado Republican Party to get elected to the Colorado House of Representatives in […]
The citizens rule and are in turn ruled by the statesman. Tancredo negotiating for spot on Colo. ballot By: STEVEN K. PAULSON Associated Press 07/22/10 2:10 PM PDT DENVER – Former GOP congressman Tom Tancredo is negotiating with the American Constitution Party to run for Colorado governor and replace their candidate, Benjamin Goss, on the […]
You may have noticed from the two ads currently running on Colorado Pols that energy legislation is now the key topic on Capitol Hill. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid today outlined what looks to be the legislation that will be discussed next week, and both Colorado Senators Michael Bennet and Mark Udall have played a […]
