(Promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE: The Denver Post’s John Frank asked Lundberg Friday whether he’d back a Colorado clerk who denied same-sex marriage licenses. “I believe that they have that responsibility as an elected official to ask themselves, am I fulfilling my job or not,” Lundberg told The Post. This comment may have led, in part, […]
As the Denver Post’s John Frank reports: Jeb Bush’s inability to break from the pack of Republican presidential candidate is drawing plenty of attention in Washington. But former Colorado Gov.

Former U.S. Senator and Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar certainly isn’t shying away from getting involved in Colorado political races. Long-rumored to be preparing for a run for Governor in 2018, Salazar has nevertheless taken sides in a handful of high-profile Democratic Primary races in 2016. The latest Democrat to earn Salazar’s support is Jeff Bridges, […]

As 9NEWS’ Brandon Rittiman reports, local Republicans aren’t taking the news that President Barack Obama has obtained enough support in the U.S. Senate for the Iran nuclear weapons agreement to kill a resolution of disapproval lying down: The plan is to attempt to pass a ballot initiative which explicitly bans the investment of state funds in […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) For an RH Reality Check post yesterday, I interviewed some familiar pundits for their take on the question of whether continued attacks on Planned Parenthood, including the recent demand by 30 GOP state lawmakers for an investigation of the women’s health organization, will affect candidates in next year’s election in Colorado.

It’s not often that we cite an opinion piece published on another site, but Rep. Joe Salazar of Thornton penned an op-ed for today’s Aurora Sentinel that’s prompting a lot of discussion–certainly enough to earn a mention in this space. The subject? Donald Trump, naturally–and Trump’s record’s similarity to that of “moderate” Rep. Mike Coffman. Excerpts: Congressman […]
UPDATE: In an interview with Marianne Goodland of the Colorado Statesman, Arapahoe County District Attorney George Brauchler sounds a bit less enthusiastic about a potential Senate run of his own: But Brauchler also said people shouldn’t be surprised if, sometime in the future, they see yard signs supporting his run for another term as district attorney “or […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Who’s most like you, Sen. Cory Gardner or Rep. Ken Buck? Many see Buck and Gardner as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, one wearing a smile the other seething with anger.

Colorado Republicans have decided not to formally select a candidate for President in 2016 so that they can (theoretically) play a bigger role in selecting a candidate for President in 2016.
