Colorado Politics Expands With a New Focus on Denver

Just when you think veteran Denver journalists have seen their last rodeo in town, they’re back! Everywhere you turn, ghosts of Denver journalism past are staring at you. That’s a good thing, of course, because everyone loves a good journalist with roots in the community–even if everyone doesn’t know it. The latest re-emergent scribes will […]

Get More Smarter on Friday (March 29)

March is on its way out in a sorta lion-lamb hybrid style. It’s time to “Get More Smarter.” If you think we missed something important, please include the link in the comments below (here’s a good example). If you are more of a visual learner, check out The Get More Smarter Show. TOP OF MIND […]

Sen. Gardner Can Act for Public Lands, Wildlife, and Climate. But few expect him to.

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Much of the Colorado media that cover oil and gas issues are busy following the state legislature, providing details of the drama and blow-by-blow of the SB 181 debate, and dutifully reporting out the industry hyperbole in between the paid industry ads. And public attention is due, SB181: the Public Health […]

UPDATE: Polis Recall Responds To Anti-Semitism Report

UPDATE: After a segment last night on 9NEWS recounting the Greeley Tribune’s story of anti-Semitic views held by organizers of a possible recall of Gov. Jared Polis, it looks like the Recall Polis organizers may be taking steps to come across as less overtly anti-Semitic: In the aftermath of that report, a post went up […]

Do GOP Donors Want Their 2018 Election Contributions Used on Recalls?

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) At least one major donor to the Colorado House Republicans’ 2018 election campaign doesn’t want its leftover money going to fund recalls. Xcel Energy is among dozens of companies that donated at least $5,000 to Values First Colorado, the House Republicans’ “caucus fund” committee, which aims supports GOP candidates running for […]

Who’s Running The Polis Recall? Nazis. Yes, Really.

Over the past couple of weeks there have been a number of stories about groups organizing to recall Gov. Jared Polis from office. Because Gov. Polis is constitutionally protected from a recall effort for the for six months he is in office, it has not been possible for these groups to gather any signatures, and […]

Hickenlooper Introduces Himself to America

On Thursday Wednesday, former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper took the spotlight in the race to become the Democratic nominee for President in 2020 when he held a live CNN “town hall” event. Hickenlooper performed very well overall, but most of the attention following the event was about one specific exchange that highlights Hick’s inexperience with “soundbite […]

Biden Considering Adding Running Mate on Day One

Axios reports on an interesting idea apparently being considered by former Vice President Joe Biden: Close advisers to former Vice President Joe Biden are debating the idea of packaging his presidential campaign announcement with a pledge to choose Stacey Abrams as his vice president. Why it matters: The popular Georgia Democrat, who at age 45 […]

Trump’s Shameful McCain Obsession Continues

As Politico reports, several prominent Republicans are (finally) coming to the defense of the late Sen. John McCain after President Trump started attacking McCain’s legacy as part of his Sunday Tweetstorm: Senate Republicans are stepping up their defense of John McCain. And Donald Trump is ignoring them entirely. In just his latest bid to tarnish […]

So You Wanna Recall Jared Polis, Do You?

As Colorado Public Radio’s Hayley Sanchez reports, good luck with that: The rules for recalling a governor include collecting signatures from 25 percent of the number of the voters who cast a ballot in the last election for governor. More than 2.5 million people voted in last year’s governor’s race, said Colorado Secretary of State […]

Wunderkind To Weak Loser: Cory Gardner’s Worst Week

Last week’s vote by the U.S. Senate to terminate President Donald Trump’s border wall national emergency, in which Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado ended weeks of self-generated confusion over his shifting stands on the issue and voted to protect the President, provoked a backlash against Gardner locally that feels much different and more profound than previous […]

Spilling & Drilling Through SB-181 Debate

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The Greeley Tribune runs a regular column entitled the Weld County Oil and Gas Spill Report that provides a handy break-down of the spills and other “releases” reported in Colorado’s most drilled, most fracked county. A pretty typical spill summary might read: KERR MCGEE OIL & GAS ONSHORE LP, reported March 6 […]

Look Elegant with Perfect Wear

Watches are a trend that simply said, will never cease to exist. From designer classics to some breakthrough models, watches are a big thing. Watches have been used widely since the first time they were created in the 1700s. A true story is that once it took an entire king’s purse to hire even the […]

Please Stop Calling This Guy Credible, Dave Kopel Edition

A clip we were forwarded from last Friday’s episode of Colorado Inside Out: This will destroy Weld County. It will wipe out their tax revenues and wouldn’t surprise me if they start another secession movement, uh over this because that’s it’s no longer an economically viable county, uh with what’s going to be done with […]

Presidential Ponderation: Who Will be the Democratic Nominee in 2020?

Polling data suggests that President Trump is in trouble as he gears up for his re-election campaign, but Democrats will still have to pick somebody to run against him. So, again, we’re asking you: Who will be the Democratic nominee in 2020? Click below to cast your vote. When we asked this question in January, Sen. […]

Let’s Talk About the U.S. Senate Race!

Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) is among the most endangered Republican incumbents in the country. We know this because hardly a week goes by without some news outlet mentioning his vulnerability in 2020. While the 2020 election is still 607 days away (as of today), we’re less than a year out from the party caucuses in Colorado, […]

Neville Family Launches Recall Effort Against Minority Leader’s Colleagues

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) House Minority Leader Patrick Neville’s threats to recall his own colleagues aren’t just words anymore. He’s endorsed his caucus’ fundraising committee, run by his brother Joe, which has launched recall efforts against at least two Democrats. Late Wednesday Minority Leader Patrick Neville shared a link to “Recall Colorado,” a website built […]

Now THIS is the Real “Overreach”

UPDATE: These recalls are brought to you by the Neville clan. —– Even before the final votes were counted in a 2018 election that saw sweeping victories for Colorado Democrats, local Republicans were keen on telling anyone who would listen to expect Democrats to “overreach” in the 2019 legislative session. As we noted in this […]

Recent Polling Suggests Trouble for Trump in 2020

We first added “President” to The Big Line ahead of the 2016 election. We don’t try to predict the outcome of the nationwide race for President — only the outcome in this state — but we might be on to something with our current odds to win Colorado:   As Harry Enten explains for CNN, […]
