Elected GOP officials say good-bye to the Colorado Republican party

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) With Colorado Trump campaign manager Patrick Davis  relying on the “robust operations” of the Colorado Republican party, it’s particularly newsworthy that GOP county and district officials are resigning from their elected positions and leaving the party. In the past week, Patrick Crowder, vice chair of the Rio Grande Republican Party, and […]

Hickenlooper book doesn’t convey just how good journalism has been to him

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In his new autobiography, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper offers lots of kind thoughts about journalism, which has served him well, but he doesn’t give the Rocky Mountain News the credit it deserves for launching his political career. If you were around in 2003, you know that an early Rocky endorsement of […]

Get More Smarter on Good Friday (March 25)

Happy Good Friday–which we’re pretty sure you’re not supposed to say since it’s the day Jesus died, but that requires a lot more explaining. It’s time to Get More Smarter with Colorado Pols! If you think we missed something important, please include the link in the comments below (here’s a good example). TOP OF MIND TODAY… […]

Radio host says a “good argument can be made” that America can’t survive with “Islam within our borders”

(Sounds constitutional to us! – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Caller “David” told the world Friday, or at least the universe listening to Denver’s KLZ 560-AM, that “the only way that America can survive long term is to not have Islam within our borders.” “If you have any amount of Islam, even if it’s 1 million […]

“Pretty Good Tuesday” Open Thread

WEDNESDAY AM UPDATE: Bernie Sanders’ narrow upset victory in Michigan is set to be a major topic of discussion today. Hillary Clinton wins big in Mississippi as expected, while Donald Trump dominates in Michigan, Mississippi, and Hawaii. Ted Cruz manages just one victory last night in Idaho. —— It may not be a “Super” Tuesday, but […]

“Robot” Rubio’s Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Debate

As the Washington Post reports, an awful debate performance by GOP presidential candidate Marco Rubio this weekend has thrown his campaign into a tailspin at the worst possible moment: Just two days before the New Hampshire primary, Rubio drew mockery for repeating a rehearsed line four times during the Republican candidates’ debate, even after New […]

JoAnn Windholz: No Apologies. Dems: Good.

Yesterday, supporters of Planned Parenthood delivered a petition signed by over 60,000 people across the nation calling for GOP Rep. JoAnn Windholz to resign over her comments blaming the organization for the attack on its clinic in Colorado Springs last November. As the Colorado Independent’s Marianne Goodland reports: The group organizing a recall against state […]

Local Vet Makes Colorado Look Good, Trump Look Very Bad

There’s no nice way to say it: Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump’s hotly controversial call to bar the entry of all Muslims into the United States has a surprising–the better word may be disturbing–amount of support among American conservatives according to polls taken since terrorist mass shooting attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California. While polls […]

Why do Colorado Senate Republicans think it’s a good idea to attack Jeffco voters?

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Control of the Colorado Senate swings in the balance next year, with the Democrats hoping to pick up one itsy bitsy state Senate seat and the Republicans clinging to a majority of one itsy bitsy Senate seat. And that seat is most likely in Jefferson County. With this in mind, after […]

Colorado Is a good place to ask Cruz and Rubio about their support for federal personhood bill

Before Wednesday’s Republican debate in Colorado, home of the personhood movement, it’s worth a quick review of the top GOP candidates’ positions on personhood laws, which would ban abortion by giving legal rights to zygotes (fertilized eggs). The Personhood Alliance, a national anti-choice organization, has made this quick review easy by publishing a micro website […]

Yes, George Brauchler Is Damaged Goods Now

UPDATE: Via Jason Salzman, Arapahoe County DA George Brauchler goes off the rails today on talk radio, blaming pretty much everybody but himself for losing the death penalty case. Safe to say this was not his finest performance–a telling look at what happens when the shine comes off the “golden boy.” —– .@ColoradoPols: if the […]

Lynn Bartels’ good-bye note to the Denver Post

A message from departing Denver Post journalist Lynn Bartels, distributed to Denver Post staff this morning: Dear Denver Post: Folks, I am taking the buyout, coming two days short of a 35-year career in journalism. The decision wasn’t easy and I have to thank you for providing me a home after the Rocky Mountain News […]

Egads! Ellen Roberts is Really Not Good at This

State Senator Ellen Roberts (R-Durango) tried, poorly, to float her name for U.S. Senate (or Congress) last month, telling the Durango Herald that she considered herself a “long-shot candidate.” But with Rep. Mike Coffman publicly declining to run for U.S. Senate, Roberts has another opportunity to launch the ol’ trial balloon. It’s not going well. Roberts has been […]

You lose Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure… than to rank with those poor spirits who neither […]

Not a good start

The 2015 legislative session in Colorado got off to a slow start–but yesterday, the new right wing majority in the Colorado Senate showed everyone their true colors. In just one day, conservatives in the Colorado Senate did a shocking amount of damage. The state's Pay Equity Commission, which was working to outline best practices to […]

Must Read Sunday: “Raging” Bill Cadman’s Very Good Deal

MONDAY UPDATE: Liberals demand Bill Cadman disclose or "step aside," from a release today: "Bill Cadman's private business has received hundreds of thousands of dollars in 'soft money' from political action committees while serving as Senate Minority Leader," said ProgressNow Colorado executive director Amy Runyon-Harms. "Now that he is set to take office as Colorado Senate […]

Hickenlooper Unfiltered Again–The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

As Americans wait to hear from President Barack Obama this evening on the subject of immigration reform executive orders, the Wall Street Journal interviewed Colorado's recently re-elected Gov. John Hickenlooper yesterday–and some of Hickenlooper's remarks are raising eyebrows today. As reported by WSJ's Reid Epstein, Hick began with some indirect criticism of Sen. Mark Udall's unsuccessful re-election […]

Coffman Not a Good Debater in Spanish, Either

Yesterday Republican Rep. Mike Coffman and Democratic challenger Andrew Romanoff participated in the first Spanish-language debate in Colorado history. While Coffman seemed to have trouble with the language — his campaign has backpedaled significantly from touting Coffman's Spanish-language prowess — he nevertheless managed to flip-flop on a key issue. In 2011, Coffman proposed amending the […]

Studies show: Protecting Greater Sage Grouse is good for Colorado Jobs & Economy

One of the West’s iconic birds, the Greater Sage Grouse includes among its historic home and heritage significant lands in Northwest Colorado. Now a new study shows that protecting that habitat could secure a $50,000,000 and growing input into the Colorado economy.  The findings of the report which came out yesterday (September 30) are backed […]

Beauprez’s Post Profile: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

The Denver Post's Joey Bunch published a long-awaited profile of two-time GOP gubernatorial nominee Bob Beauprez in yesterday's Sunday edition, along with a similar profile of incumbent Gov. John Hickenlooper. We've heard varying opinions about Bunch's story–many Democrats are upset with what they consider to be major omissions, while others are happy to see the […]

A Rising Tide in the Sage Brush Sea – Saving the Sage Grouse is Good for Wildlife

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) This time of year the color comes out in Colorado, and it’s not only the golden aspen in the high country or rusty scrub-oak on south-facing slopes.  Blaze orange is also in full display in western Colorado as communities put out banners, and the hunters don’t disappoint—for the arrival of the […]

Wash Post: Dems Feel Good About Senate Races in IA, MI, and…Colorado

From our friends at "The Fix" comes an interesting new look at the Senate races around the country: And so, before we ranked the twelve most competitive races in the fight for the Senate majority this fall, we chatted — via email — with a half dozen strategists in both parties to get their sense […]

Post Does Good Job Sorting Out Past Romanoff-Coffman Immigration Positions

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Denver Post reporter Kurtis Lee did a good job over the weekend of sorting out the past immigration positions of Rep. Mike Coffman and his Democratic challenger, Andrew Romanoff. Lee noted that Romanoff pushed compromise immigration legislation through the Colorado legislature in 2006, in order to deflect a more extreme immigration […]

Whitewashing Bob Beauprez: Good Luck With That

​Coverage today of Bob Beauprez's GOP gubernatorial primary victory last night doesn't make much of an effort to define Beauprez personally, focusing instead on comparing Beauprez with his principal GOP opponent for the nomination, fellow ex-Congressman Tom Tancredo. Politico's Katie Glueck provides a good example of the emerging pundit consensus that Republicans "dodged a bullet" by nominating Beauprez: […]

Dudley Brown Slimes Up SD-19 GOP Primary Real Good

FOX 31's Eli Stokols reports on another nasty turn the Senate District 19 Republican primary between establishment pick Lang Sias and Rocky Mountain Gun Owners endorsed Laura Waters Woods, to a common tactic employed the nefarious Dudley Brown. Send in the gays! In its final get out the vote effort ahead of Tuesday’s Republican primaries, […]
