(Promoted by Colorado Pols) I had convinced myself, based on nothing except the rip tide that's pulling political reporters out of Colorado, that The Durango Herald wouldn't replace its Denver correspondent, Joe Hanel, who left in May after rising to become one best political journalists in the state. But I was wrong. The Herald has […]
My campaign for HD37 is going extremely well!. While we may not be in the Colorado Pols Top Ten Races, we are not far behind (possibly 12th?), and have a serious chance at pulling out a surprise win in the southern suburbs. Here’s why: 1. It’s an open seat with a history of close races. […]
Craig Silverman returned to Denver’s radio waves a couple weeks ago, as you may know if you saw my recent blog post criticizing him for failing to challenge senatorial candidate Cory Gardner’s assertion that Sen. Mark Udall is simply “trying to distract voters” by attacking Gardner for his extreme anti-choice record, which isn’t “top of […]
Republican State Sen. Steve King officially withdrew from the race for Mesa County Sheriff on Tuesday, a decision that had become largely unavoidable and may end up being just the beginning of a larger investigation. As the Denver Post reports, King has yet to explain how he was able to juggle three different government jobs […]
(Do men care about it? No? Okay then. – Promoted by Colorado Pols) On a Denver radio show over the weekend, GOP senatorial candidate Cory Gardner accused his Democratic opponent, Sen. Mark Udall, of “trying to distract voters” by spotlighting Gardner's stances on abortion and contraception, which "aren't top of mind for people." I would […]
Today's poll from Quinnipiac University of the Colorado U.S. Senate race, like the Q-poll released released yesterday showing Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper and GOP challenger Bob Beauprez in a statistical dead heat, puts Democrats on notice that a long, hard election season most likely awaits: The closely-watched U.S. Senate race is tied with 44 percent […]
After yesterday's poll from NBC/Marist reassured Colorado Democrats with apparent growing leads in the gubernatorial and U.S. Senate races, a new poll out from Quinnipiac University today restores a healthy sense of fear: Despite stronger voter optimism about Colorado's economy than found in many states, the race for governor is tied, with 43 percent for Democratic […]
“I don’t believe in coincidences.” Any good fictional detective will usually mutter a similar phrase at some point in a story. The phrase usually means that if two or more occurrences seem like a coincidence, it’s probably connected in some way…and, yada, yada, yada…Scooby Doo and the gang foil another plot by criminals dressed in […]
(Seriously? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Bob Beauprez suggested over the weekend that Hickenlooper was drunk when he played pool last week with President Obama. Beauprez made the comment on Craig Silverman's debut radio show Saturday on KNUS 710-AM. Here's the exchange: Silverman: Bob Beauprez, tell me this, because you could lock up a lot […]
A new poll out today from NBC News/Marist has very bad news for Colorado Republicans–beginning with GOP Senate candidate Cory Gardner, who is now down by 7 points to incumbent Sen. Mark Udall, outside this poll's +/- 3.1% margin of error: In Colorado’s Senate contest, incumbent Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., leads GOP challenger Cory Gardner by seven points […]
Denver Mayor Michael Hancock will deliver his annual "State of the City" address today — his last "State of the City" before next May's Denver city elections. Hancock has little reason to be concerned that he will even face a serious challenger in his bid for re-election, and the editorial board of the Denver Post […]
WҺen sеvеral indiviԁuals think of the excellent getaway destination, the state ߋf Virgіnia is not thе verү firѕt area that leaps to mind. The reality is though that Virginia has actսally been attracting countless visitors seeking terrific holiday experiences for gгeater than one hundred years. This is certainly a ϲhallenging page to write because of […]
The Colorado Independent's Tessa Cheek reports from yesterday's press conference on legislation, introduced by Colorado Sen. Mark Udall, to undo last week's Hobby Lobby Supreme Court ruling relieving many corporations of "Obamacare's" obligation to cover contraceptives in their health insurance plans: Senator Mark Udall joined women’s health advocates today to discuss his newest bill, which […]
Whatever your opinion on the legalization of marijuana — both for medicinal and recreational uses — it's become increasingly clear that banking and tax laws need to be adjusted for the safety and security of both businesses and customers. As David Migoya reports in the Denver Post, Rep. Ed Perlmutter continues his push to find […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols — this could have a direct impact on Colorado politics because Lee was covering CD-6 for the Post) Denver Post political reporter Kurtis Lee announced via Twitter today that he'll be leaving The Post Wednesday for a job covering politics on the Los Angeles Times' new real-time news desk. "It's been […]
UPDATE: Statement from LGBT advocate group One Colorado: “By calling on Attorney General Suthers not to appeal Judge Crabtree’s ruling striking down Colorado’s ban on marriage for same-sex couples, Governor Hickenlooper has shown incredible leadership as a champion for all Colorado families. From the moment he took office, the Governor has stood up for LGBT Coloradans […]
As the Denver Post reports, Colorado's economic growth is outpacing earlier forecasts: Colorado is on track to add 68,000 net new jobs this year rather than the 61,300 the Colorado Business Economic Outlook in December predicted it would gain, according to a midyear update from the University of Colorado. "We are seeing broad-based growth in […]
The Denver Business Journal's Ed Sealover updates on the still-sputtering negotiations over a possible–but increasingly unlikely–special session of the state legislature to address local control of oil and gas drilling. The session, were it to be convened, would seek to pass legislation to forestall ballot initiatives to that could more strictly regulate the industry–from allowing […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In what appears to be his first non-spokesperson explanation in the media of his comment that "we've got almost half the population perfectly happy that somebody else is paying" income tax, Beauprez said on a Colorado Springs radio show Saturday that in his 2010 Rotary-Club speech, he was "lamenting" that more […]
UPDATE #2: FOX 31's Eli Stokols reports on the President's just-concluded speech: “We have come farther and recovered faster than almost any advanced nation on Earth,” Obama said. “We know we’ve still got a long way to go. “More jobs have been created in the first half of this year since 1999, but many families […]
As 9NEWS' Brandon Rittiman reports, the non-troversy over President Barack Obama's upcoming visit to Colorado this week goes on–at least in the minds of Republicans, desperate to extract larger meaning from, well, any silly little thing they can: When Air Force One touches down in Denver on Tuesday night, Sen. Mark Udall won't be on […]
Chicago Sun Times: "A final note: For all those outraged with the (Illinois) Supreme Court Justices, save your fire. Their job is to interpret the law and the Constitution." An Illinois' teacher's response to this Chicago Sun Times editorial: "The Court made clear that our Constitution still functions as a guide to civic behavior; that […]
Rep. Jared Polis and partner Marlon Reis welcome the latest member of their family this holiday weekend, Cora Barucha, via Facebook (photo right). The Denver Post’s Lynn Bartels reports: The couple already has a son, Caspian Julius, who is 2½ years old and is nicknamed “CJ.” As with CJ’s birth, Polis is revealing few details, […]
Comments of an Illinois state retiree and former Marine on Illinois' pension contract breach: "As I did when I volunteered as a United States Marine Corps service member, when I volunteered for state service, I relied on citizens to have my back. While they seem to support my service in the U.S. Armed Forces, I’m […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: The Washington Post's Paul Waldman writes this morning, as this story catches on nationally with a swiftness that can only be explained by the prophetic similarity to Mitt Romney's subsequent and ill-fated 47% speech: The Beauprez video was taken in 2010, in an appearance before a Rotary Club, and it’s familiar by now — the 47 […]
