Politico's James Hohmann reports from yesterday's debate between Sen. Mark Udall and GOP challenger Cory Gardner, moderated by Manu Raju: “Carbon pollution is real,” said Udall. “We’re prepared to put a price on carbon … I support putting a price on carbon.” Gardner repeatedly pressed Udall to say what exact price he would put on […]
Is it just us, or was the Supreme Court the only group of partisan political people who chose not to debate today? Monday afternoon featured two debates hosted by the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce: Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper and Republican challenger Bob Beauprez got first crack at a discussion of the issues before Democratic […]
We didn't want to miss mention of a new poll out this weekend from CBS and the New York Times, showing Democratic incumbent Sen. Mark Udall with a three-point lead on Republican Cory Gardner–still well within the poll's +/- 3% margin of error. Here are your toplines: Interestingly, this month's CBS/NYT poll shows the same […]
With the U.S. Supreme Court's decision today allowing the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals' ruling against same-sex marriage bans to stand, it's a good time to review the position of Colorado candidates in next month's elections on marriage equality. Here's a clip of video of then-Congressman Bob Beauprez speaking in 2006 about his strident opposition to same-sex marriage: BEAUPREZ: […]
'Tis the season for newspaper editorial board endorsements. As always, we want to make clear that we won't be posting links to every endorsement published by every newspaper in Colorado, despite the perennial requests we get each election cycle to do so. There's far too many, and frankly, most of them are not newsworthy. But we did […]
I like to know what conservative pundits are saying to each other about politics. When conservatives talk to liberals, it tends to be so hostile, condescending, and designed to provoke emotional responses, aka trolling, that it isn’t very useful for discerning actual thinking and points of view. Hence, I listen to Redstate’s weekly briefings, and […]

Groups of protesters took up positions at intersections along 22 miles of Wadsworth Boulevard, Jefferson County's highest-traffic […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) It takes a "Village". Thanks to entrepreneurs, cannabis activists, a supportive state legislature, incredible support from the Colorado Department Agriculture, visionaries and federal representatives – today Zaki Jackson celebrates two-years seizure free. It's hard to miss the irony that such an accomplishment is belng celebrated currently with election silly-season; perpetual political […]
As CNN Money reports, there's plenty of good news in the last jobs report before the November election: The nation's unemployment rate fell below 6% in September for the first time in six years. The rate came in at 5.9%, while employers added 248,000 jobs last month… …The "drop out" factor has been a problem […]
UPDATE #2: TIME Magazine declares this the Most Sexist Republican Ad of the Year. —– UPDATE: It looks like "Say Yes To Bob Beauprez" was just one of multiple nearly identical videos produced by the College Republicans–others being on behalf of Florida Gov.

CONFIDENTIAL. To Messrs. — Gentlemen:—In obedience to a resolution of the Whig State Convention, we have appointed you the Central Whig Committee of your county. The trust confided to you will be one of watchfulness and labor: but we do hope the glory of having contributed to the overthrow of the corrupt powers that now […]
Maybe his new moniker ought to be ‘Bundy Bob Beauprez’ because he shares at least one trait with crazy Cliven the Nevada welfare-rancher that got caught-and-released for ripping off the American taxpayer. Neither think that America’s public lands ought to belong to the American public. PHOTO CAPTION: This Republican leader–father of America's National Parks and […]

UPDATE: Suppes is changing up his excuse to the old "Rogue Staffer" problem. Remember, Suppes and his campaign previously blamed his Twitter problem on invisible "hackers," but now he has a different explanation in a follow-up to the Mother Jones article: Sept. 23, 2014 at 3:30 pm: In an email to Mother Jones, Suppes confirms that his […]
The National Rifle Association's Political Victory Fund sent a round of mailers last week to households across the state, touting that group's endorsement of the three top Republican candidates in Colorado this year. Gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez and Senate candidate Cory Gardner both get a nod: The content of this mailer seems to be aimed […]

UPDATE: Colorado Public Radio's Jenny Brundin: Teachers are riled by a couple of issues: one is an ongoing disagreement over pay and the intentions of the new conservative board members. The other is a board proposal to set up a curriculum committee to review what materials teachers use in the classroom. The resolution stated that […]
A new Democratic mailer hitting mailboxes in Colorado Senate District 19, where Rocky Mountain Gun Owners-endorsed arch-conservative Laura Waters Woods is facing off against Sen. Rachel Zenzinger, is noteworthy for its subject matter. Voters are getting lots of material from Republicans about the issue discussed in this mailer this election season. Here's one back at them […]

The big news in Colorado politics yesterday was the release of a Quinnipiac University poll on the Governor's race showing — rather unbelievably, really — Republican Bob Beauprez leading Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper by an astounding 10-point margin. Quinnipiac's findings were roundly dismissed by political and polling experts around the country, and perhaps rightly so, […]
