“Moderate” Republican Endorses…Tancredo?

We wanted to make note of a blog post from the Denver Post's Lynn Bartels last Friday: Former lawmaker Norma Anderson, known for wielding clout during her days at the legislature, said today if former Congressman Tom Tancredo makes the ballot for governor, she’s voting for him in the June 24 primary. “Right now Tom is the best […]

Captionable: Randy Baumgardner’s Yard Sign

It's the first occasion we've had to lay eyes on one of minor Republican U.S. Senate candidate Randy Baumgardner's campaign signs. To be perfectly honest, we're a little surprised that Baumgardner could afford a yard sign, but there it is proving us wrong. This gives us one more chance to ponder Baumgardner's iconic mustache/cowboy hat silhouette logo, […]

In CD-4, Secession Question May Play Big Role in Winning GOP Nomination

Lynn Bartels of the Denver Post takes a look at the race to succeed Congressman Cory Gardner in CD-4, which includes a particularly interesting tidbit about the secession issue.  Weld County Commissioner Barbara Kirkmeyer has the endorsement of fellow Commissioner Sean Conway, who was one of the ringleaders of last year's disastrous secession efforts. Weld […]

Tim Neville’s Statement Does Not Make Suspicions Of Link Between Him/RMGO And Nathaniel Marshall Unfounded

(Worse and worse – Promoted by Colorado Pols) The Colorado Independent has been investigating the circumstances that led to Nathaniel Marshall, a person with significant ties to white supremacism, to enter the race for Colorado HD-23.  As an early result of that investigation, the Independent's John Tomasic reported yesterday that signs had emerged indicating that Tim Neville – […]

Republicans Hammer “Con Man Cory” Gardner Over Personhood Flip-Flop

UPDATE: More GOP anger at Gardner, as Eli Stokols reports at FOX 31: Just like Ken Buck, the GOP’s 2010 Senate candidate who first supported personhood only to disavow it later in the campaign, Gardner is suddenly the target of heavy criticism for trying to fool conservatives now that he’s through a primary. Personhood USA […]

Rivera / Crowder Town Hall Heats Up, Democracy Thrives

        When Colorado Senators Larry Crowder (left) and George Rivera convened a town hall in Pueblo on Wednesday, March 19, they probably hadn't planned to be confronted, interrupted, and corrected by dozens of Pueblo citizens of various political stripes. But that's what happened. Over the course of a two hour meeting, Rivera […]

Why Would Cory Gardner Flip-Flop on Personhood?

We said it on Friday, and we'll say it again here: Republican Cory Gardner's unfathomable flip-flop over his support of "Personhood" may well prove to be the decisive event in the 2014 U.S. Senate race. In case you missed the news, Gardner told Lynn Bartels of the Denver Post on Friday that he no longer […]

Did Gardner hear Wadhams’ radio warnings about the toxicity of personhood to state-wide candidates?

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Back in August, Republican pundit and strategist Dick Wadhams was asked by KNUS radio host Matt Dunn if a "pro-life Republican" can win a "state-wide at the present time.” Wadhams: “As long as they don’t make that the centerpiece of their campaign, or, to be honest, as long as they don’t […]

Friday “Bombshell”–Gardner Flips on Personhood Abortion Ban

UPDATE: In the story cited below, Cory Gardner claims that he started rethinking his support for the Personhood abortion ban "after voters rejected it by 3-to1 margin in 2010." As reported by Lynn Bartels, that appears very hard to believe, in light of the fact that Gardner signed on as a co-sponsor on July 23rd […]

Udall vs. Gardner: The Kitchen Sink vs. Obamascare

Good analysis of the Colorado U.S. Senate race today from the Denver Post's Lynn Bartels: Abortion, immigration, the federal government shutdown — to hear the left tell it, Republican U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner has a multitude of sins to answer for as he campaigns across Colorado to unseat Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Udall. The right […]

Opposing The Recall Fix Bill Is Stupid–Unless…

A guest opinion piece from Pueblo County Clerk Gilbert "Bo" Ortiz makes the case for passing Senate Bill 14-158, which would attempt to fix conflicts between statutory election law and century-old constitutional recall provisions. Last year, those arcane William Jennings Bryan-era recall provisions were invoked to successfully halt the delivery of mail ballots in the recall […]

Another Republican Joins Growing Anti-TABOR Chorus

UPDATE: Vic Vela at Colorado Community Media sheds some light on the arcane workings of TABOR in play here: A TABOR technicality may require the state to issue pot revenue refunds – even though voters intended for money that's collected from marijuana tax money to go towards school construction and the cost of pot industry […]

Coffman’s Multicultural Discovery: “Wow, Ethiopians!”

WEDNESDAY UPDATE: Hilarity from the Aurora Sentinel today in response to Coffman's "discovery." QUID HAS HEARD that Aurora’s own congressman Mike Coffman discovered Aurora’s large Ethiopian, Ghanaian, Eritrean, Sudanese and every other African countries’ immigrant population right here in Aurora and he’s eager to spread the good news. In a story written by the Associated […]

Grand Bargain’s proposed Social Security Cuts hurt Dems in recent Florida election

Memo to Mark Udall: The National Republican Congressional Committee hit Alex Sink from the left on this, saying she "supports a plan that raises the retirement age for Social Security recipients, raises Social Security taxes, and cuts Medicare."  Liberal writers cried hypocrisy, but it didn't matter: Sink lost. For the Left, it's evidence that Democrats need […]

So Long, Owen Hill

As the Colorado Springs Gazette's Matt Steiner reports: Less than three weeks after Colorado State Sen. Owen Hill refused to give up his bid for a U.S. Senate seat, Hill is leaving the race and will give his support to the U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner. Hill, of Colorado Springs, said in late February that Gardner […]

Liberal Lurker on Tipton’s Telephone Town Hall 3/12

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Tipton’s staff somehow included my number in a telephone town hall on Wednesday, March 12, 2014. They didn’t allow me to ask any live questions*, so their lapse in constituent screening has only resulted in this diary.  Only supportive conservative callers were allowed to ask softball, pandering questions. This was interesting, […]

A Democrat’s Dream Opponent: Beauprez, Tancredo, or Gessler?

At this point in the crowded Republican gubernatorial primary, post-caucus but before the state assembly and June primary election, we're beginning to see trajectories emerge that allow for some predictions as to who–in what has been a gaggle of undistinguished candidates–might emerge as clear frontrunners. Before the entry of ex-Congressman Bob Beauprez into the gubernatorial race […]

Reminder: TABOR Has a Dark Side

As FOX 31's Eli Stokols reports: Tax revenues from Colorado’s new recreational marijuana industry are pouring into state coffers — and that’s actually a bit of a problem for lawmakers… According to a legal analysis conducted by the state and obtained by FOX31 Denver, the marijuana revenues are subject to the state’s Taxpayer Bill of […]

Beauprez: “I’ve Lived Off The Land All My Life”

Chateau d'Beauprez, Lafayette, CO. Here's a clip of audio from 2006 2014 GOP gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez's interview with radio host Jimmy Sengenberger that had us blowing soda out our nose when we got it yesterday evening: Transcript–this clip comes just after Beauprez decries new emission standards passed by Gov. John Hickenlooper's Air Quality Control Commission. […]

Wednesday Open Thread

“A man that does not know how to be angry does not know how to be good.” –Henry Ward Beecher

Conservatives still want you to boycott Girl Scout Cookies – I won’t!

Conservatives are still on this weird kick of persecuting Girl Scouts by urging people to boycott one of the most innocent and industrious fund raising tools around: Launched in 1912, the Girl Scouts of the USA started as a single pack of girls in Savannah, Georgia, meeting in the hopes of getting out of their […]

Udall/CIA “Hacking” Flap Heats Up

​As the Washington Post's Ed O'Keefe reports, a fight over the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee's oversight of Central Intelligence Agency detention and interrogations programs, which prominently features Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado, is escalating rapidly: The head of the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday sharply accused the CIA of violating federal law and undermining the […]

Today’s Main Event: Banning Abortion in Colorado (Yes, Really)

UPDATE 4:35PM: GOP Reps. Bob Gardner and Mark Waller, both pro-life but “reluctantly” unable to vote for an “unconstitutional” bill to ban abortion, join Democrats in voting against House Bill 14-1133. Bill dies on a final vote of 9-2. —– UPDATE #3: Hearing now underway, this Texas-style rotunda photo sent to us from the press […]

Lessons Learned From HB1258 – Namely Due Process Less Important Than Political Expediency

So I attended and gave testimony on HB1258 yesterday afternoon, which was the bill that was designed to bring due process rights to IEC Respondents.  As expected, it died in committee on a party line vote.  What was not expected though was the following: 1) Overall Weakness of Opposition's Arguments Throughout the hearing, the Opposition […]

Suthers: Bob Beauprez For Governor

FOX 31's Eli Stokols, noted for the record: Looking to build momentum one week after announcing his campaign, GOP gubernatorial hopeful Bob Beauprez announced Monday that he’s won the endorsement of the most senior Republican officeholder in the state, Attorney General John Suthers. “There is no question in my mind, as I look at the […]
