“Real firmness is good for anything; strut is good for nothing.” –Alexander Hamilton
Colorado Public Radio’s Bente Birkeland reports on the announcement late yesterday that Sen. Daniel Kagan of Cherry Hills Village will resign just after the start of next year’s legislative session, kicking off an energetic competition among Democrats to replace him and marking another sharp contrast in the now year-long controversy over misconduct by lawmakers in […]
(Just wow – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Looking to re-energize their caucus following sweeping losses at the ballot box last month, Colorado Republicans held a retreat in Sedalia immediately after the election. The event featured controversial writer and pundit David Horowitz as a keynote speaker. The Southern Poverty Law Center describes Horowitz as an “Anti-Muslim […]
As the Denver Business Journal’s Ed Sealover reports, after losing millions in a failed bid to retain GOP control of the Colorado Senate this year, there’s a new attempt by “business community” moguls to drive a wedge into the newly Democratic chamber just wide enough to stop disfavored bills–and it’s headed by one of the […]

After this year’s historic election victory for Colorado progressives, the next steps are coming into view.

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Past performance is no guarantee of future value and other disclaimer like things. However, this is what we have to go on to predict the future. From the 92nd Congress in 1971 to the present the average number of special elections to the House of Representatives has been 8.46 per session […]
Walker Stapleton, the Republican nominee for governor of Colorado who lost this year’s election by over 10 points, was a candidate who never seemed quite comfortable in his own skin on the campaign trail. It was a running gag during the campaign among Democrats to share the worst possible photos of Stapleton, which was easy […]
The Washington Post reports on the final U.S. Senate race of 2018 in Mississippi’s runoff election, which is also the last battle of Sen. Cory Gardner’s stormy term as chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC). And there’s a lot riding on the outcome: For Republicans, the Nov. 27 runoff is a chance for […]

Gov.-elect Jared Polis is grappling with the first real controversy he’s encountered since his double-digit victory earlier this month, with a less-then-enthusiastic response to certain members of his “transition team.” As John Frank at the Colorado Sun reported last week: The team includes prominent Democrats, such as former Gov. Bill Ritter, Lt. Gov. Donna Lynne, […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman (R-CO) blamed Trump today for Coffman’s election loss last week, just as Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner jumped on the radio to credit the president for GOP wins in key senate races. Coffman told Vox today: “I believe, quite frankly, that the president had a strategy of focusing […]
(Let it begin – Promoted by Colorado Pols) In a volcanic eruption and tsunami on KNUS radio Monday, Colorado’s former Republican leader defended U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner from accusations that the first-term senator is a “total [whore] for the Chamber of Commerce,” a “Mitch McConnell stooge,” and, “just like” U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, a “traitor […]

A Colorado Pols reader reminded us over the weekend that we had long ago predicted that Republican Walker Stapleton would not be the next Governor of Colorado.
