“A good indignation brings out all one’s powers.” –Ralph Waldo Emerson
UPDATE: Shots metaphorically fired as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene bodyslams Rep. Lauren Boebert for her lack of fealty to Donald Trump and Kevin McCarthy: Perhaps in the end there really can be only one. —– There will be a vote on January 3, 2023 to elect the next Speaker of the U.S. House. But as […]
(The chaos is the point — Promoted by Colorado Pols) It’s official. Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has won re-election. While the result had been presumed for weeks, the confirmed tally means national politicos are now looking to the next House prize: the speaker’s gavel. Former Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is the consensus frontrunner, but […]

(Preach only to the choir? — Promoted by Colorado Pols) “What really was frustrating to me is that the public, the people of Colorado, didn’t get to hear my heart. They didn’t get to hear who I am, or how I wanted to solve problems for them because [the news media] were so jaded and […]

The Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul followed up yesterday with one of the biggest individual funders pumping message dollars into the 2022 elections, Weld County oil and gasman millionaire Steve Wells. Back in September, Wells made a big splash with his announcement that he would spend millions in support of GOP gubernatorial candidate Hiedi Heidi Ganahl […]

A press release from Colorado Senate Republicans a short while ago announces the imminent resignation of Sen. Bob Rankin, a member of the powerful bipartisan Joint Budget Committee and considered one of the last remaining functional members of the shrunken GOP minority: Senator Rankin was appointed to serve in the State Senate in 2019 and […]

I wrote this in 2014. Given that it is Thanksgiving week-end again, I thought I’d share. I do love Colorado! I LOVE Colorado. One of the things I missed while running for office was getting out of town. Today I decided to drive to Glenwood–it is a nice drive, about 180 miles round trip, and […]
TUESDAY UPDATE: Here’s a good story from 9News about Republican politicians, including El Paso County Sheriff Bill Elder, who flat out refuse to use tools that might have prevented this tragedy: Colorado’s Red Flag gun law seems tailor made for the suspect in the Club Q shooting, who threatened to blow up a house […]
As we wrote on Thursday, we had been waiting to post our annual post-election “Winners and Losers” list until we actually knew all of the election winners and losers (we’re looking at you, Lauren Boebert). Click here for Part 1 (The “Winners”) of our end-of-cycle analysis, or read on for Part 2 “The Losers.” […]
Readers will remember that Republicans led by Michael Fields of the conservative advocacy group Advance Colorado immediately announced a recall campaign against state Sen. Kevin Priola following Priola’s defection in August to the Democratic Party, obtaining a deadline to return signatures coinciding with Election Day before Denver District Court Judge Marie Avery Moses ruled that […]

Now that the 2022 election is behind us (most of us, anyway), there are a number of questions to be answered. Chief among them: Just how historically bad was Hiedi Heidi Ganahl’s campaign for Governor? Bad. Really, really bad. Like, all-time bad. In fact, we’d say that Ganahl has dethroned Bob Beauprez as the single […]
At the desperate end of Colorado GOP gubernatorial candidate Hiedi Heidi Ganahl’s campaign, she returned once again to election conspiracy theorist and 2020 coup plotter Steve Bannon for a last-minute infusion of goodwill ahead of losing the race by somewhere close to 20 points one week ago. Bannon claimed based on what we now know were […]

The dust is settling after the sweeping Democratic triumph in Colorado in the 2022 elections Tuesday, turning what was once hyped as a coming “red wave” into a cementing of total control over state government by Democrats, expanding their majorities in the Colorado House and Senate and easily re-electing the downballot statewide Democrats who historically […]
