In Victory for Abortion Rights, CO’s Prop. 115 Abortion Ban Fails

(Another decisive win for reproductive choice in Colorado – Promoted by Colorado Pols) In a hard-won victory for supporters of reproductive rights in Colorado and across the nation, Proposition 115 was soundly defeated today by Colorado voters.

How Cory Gardner Destroyed Cory Gardner

(Bumped into November) It appears likely that Sen. Cory Gardner will not be re-elected to the U.S. Senate next week. If months and years of polling data are accurate, Gardner will be handily defeated by Democrat John Hickenlooper. It will be a loss of his own making.  Like many Republicans, Gardner might have been dragged […]

Lauren “Q*bert” Boebert: A Long, Strange Trip It’s Been

In an interview Wednesday with Southern Colorado’s FOX 21 News, embattled CD-3 GOP candidate Lauren Boebert tried once and for all, presumably under the advice of national Republicans worried she may actually lose this R+6 seat next Tuesday, to put this “QAnon thing” behind her–awfully late in the game, given the number of votes already […]

Anti-Abortion Usual Suspects Saying The Quiet Part Out Loud

Limited polling released so far on Proposition 115, the ballot measure to criminalize abortions in Colorado performed later in pregnancy, is running closer than previous abortion ban ballot measures in Colorado–though still expected to be defeat, likely not by the 30-point margins that characterized previous failed attempts to impose a total ban on abortion in […]

“We’re Not Going To Control The Pandemic”

MONDAY UPDATE: The Washington Post gives it to you straight: —– UPDATE: Remember this joke? “My 8-year-old son came to me and said, ‘Dad, I know when the pandemic ends.’ And I said, ‘You do?’ He says, ‘Yes, the day after the election.’ Now, he picked that up somewhere or heard that somewhere, or maybe mom […]

President Trump’s Debate Plans Are…Not Good

UPDATE: The final kerfluffle begins: —– Tonight is the final Presidential candidate debate of the 2020 election cycle.

(Maybe it’s one of them gun poles — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Cory Gardner brought a fishing pole to gun fight.

Throwback Thursday: Laura Carno Reckons With Donald Trump

We’ve had plenty of opportunities this election season to revisit the moment four years ago when Sen.
