SUNDAY UPDATE: With the count failing to close a persistent gap of around 2,500 votes, incumbent Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo concedes the race to Republican challenger Gabe Evans: —– As Ernest Luning reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog, the agonizingly slow count in the close-as-can-be CO-08 race, which as of this writing is […]
The Colorado Republican Party under chairman Dave “Brandon Who?” Williams wrapped up their minimal contribution to the 2024 elections on Tuesday morning with yet another low-budget email blast substituting for a coordinated campaign, before a national “red wave” broke on Colorado’s Front Range with local Republicans totally unprepared to capitalize on this change of fortunes […]
How did Harris lose to the most unqualified individual to ever hold the office of President? Ok, there are three main things I’m going to discuss: Why did Trump win? We have survived this before. What do we do now? Why Did Trump Win? I don’t know (I have my suspicions). No one knows, which […]
This morning, a joint press release from Gov. Jared Polis and Secretary of State Jena Griswold announced that the emergency operation to change every voting hardware password accidentally disclosed by the SoS office in a publicly-posted spreadsheet, which resulted in a major political embarrassment just days before the election despite posing little actual security threat […]
At the beginning of the month, an Emerson Polling survey of Colorado’s Eighth Congressional District found the race between incumbent Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo and her Republican challenger state Rep. Gabe Evans deadlocked at 44% with 12% of respondents still undecided. This poll was cited throughout October by both campaigns as a call to action […]
Just a quick reminder: If you or someone you know has not yet returned your ballot for the 2024 election, DO NOT place it in a mailbox. It’s too late for that. Ballots must be RECEIVED by your local elections official by 7:00 pm on Tuesday; a postmark before Tuesday won’t do you any good, […]
By now, you’ve probably heard about the public relations disaster that unfolded for Donald Trump’s campaign at a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City, in which comedian and podcast star Tony Hinchcliffe deadpanned his way through a routine that denigrated just about everybody except for the undereducated white males most steadfastly in […]
First, the good news if you are a supporter of the Colorado Republican Party: At least they aren’t talking this week about furries or transgender surgeries performed by the school principal. And now, the predictable bad news: The Colorado GOP is still laser-focused on internal grudges. The latest Colorado GOP newsletter/call to action out this […]
As we noted last week, the Colorado Republican Party has taken its collective eyes off the ball that is the 2024 election cycle…to the extent that they were ever truly paying attention to the only thing that really matters for a state political party (winning elections). There’s little reason to think this might change once […]
Hot on the heels of last week’s contentious text blast from supporters of the school voucher Amendment 80 which falsely (to put it mildly) suggested the measure has the support of the state’s largest teacher’s union the Colorado Education Association, this weekend another misleading text blast went out–this time with a disclaimer identifying the source […]
Keep Colorado’s Government Vibrant There are a number of good reasons to vote yes on Prop 131. I’m going to speak to two incredibly important ones. Important because Colorado has become a one party state. This is a recent change and as such we’re just starting to see the ramifications from it. First some background. […]
As Colorado Newsline reported Monday, the failed pretender to the position of Colorado Republican Party chairman Eli Bremer conceded final defeat in his months-long quest to unseat chairman Dave “Forever Brandon” Williams by withdrawing the lawsuit to determine the question that was set to begin this week. Bremer’s stand-down comes after an El Paso County […]
After months of trying very hard to portray himself as “normal Republican candidate guy,” the real Gabe Evans is being revealed to the world just in time for voters to make their decision in CO-08. Today in The New York Times, reporter Annie Karni highlights the Republican candidates for Congress across the country who are election […]
Among the 14 statewide measures Colorado voters are working through on this year’s ballot is Proposition 127, which would ban the hunting of mountain lions, lynx, and bobcats, with exceptions for self-defense or defending livestock. It’s not a fight in which we in this space have a dog or a cat, but as FOX 31 […]
Republican Gabe Evans has been letting his right-wing freak flag fly in recent weeks as Election Day gets closer and he is forced to elaborate further regarding his positions on a number of important topics. For example, his 111-word non-answer on the easiest political question imaginable: When is it okay to hit children in public schools? The […]
The dust has settled in the extreme northern smidge of the city of Aurora next to Denver International Airport where ex-President Donald Trump held a rally Friday to promote his fictional narrative of the “takeover” of this Republican-controlled city of 400,000 by migrant gangs, to be followed shortly by the overrunning of the entire state […]
The Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby ran down the scoop on the strange story we’ve been talking about for over a week now, mailers delivered in two competitive Colorado congressional races paid for by the Arizona Republican Party–a situation sufficiently unusual that we at first speculated it may have been some kind of printing error. […]
Arizona has nine congressional districts…or 10 if you count Colorado’s eighth congressional district. As we noted last week, the Arizona Republican Party sent out a mailer in support of Republican Gabe Evans, who is trying to unseat Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo in CO-08. This was a strange expenditure that we have never seen in 20+ […]
As Reuben Schafir reports for the Durango Herald, on Friday afternoon Colorado’s carpetbagging sensation Rep. Lauren Boebert did something that at first glance readers might not have expected: hosting a town hall in the southwest Colorado town of Ignacio, hundreds of miles deep in Boebert’s soon-to-be-former Third Congressional District, actually making good on a promise […]

As Westword’s Bennito Kelty reports, the substantial viewership of daytime talk show host Dr. Phil McGraw, trusted by millions for the advice he dispenses on air but also with a record of controversies and legal trouble of his own manufacture, was infotained on Monday with yet another wildly exaggerated portrayal of Aurora, Colorado, a city […]
If you are a likely voter without a strong record of political affiliation, we don’t need to tell you that your mailbox is full of campaign advertisements. This is particularly true if you live in congressional district eight, which is home to the most visible 2024 race in Colorado between incumbent Democratic Congresswoman Yadira Caraveo […]
As the Denver Post’s Seth Klamann reports, we’re coming up on two weeks since ex-President Donald Trump promised to visit what he describes as the war-torn streets of Aurora, Colorado, where roving Venezuelan “supergangs” are eating the dogs and cats… Sorry, we got the details mixed up. It’s Haitians eating the pets in Springfield, Ohio, […]
Colorado Republicans today are still reeling from or celebrating (depending on what side you’re on) yesterday’s ruling by an El Paso County judge definitively rejecting the attempt by critics of state party chairman Dave “Don’t Need No Stinking Brandon” Williams to oust him and his elective leadership allies, and replace Williams with former U.S. Senate […]
As Colorado Public Radio’s Megan Verlee reports, an El Paso County judge has once again upended the struggle to determine who is in control of the Colorado Republican Party, perhaps decisively this time–ruling that the vote to remove state party chairman Dave “Brandon Out” Williams organized by pretender-chairman Eli Bremer was not sufficient to accomplish […]
