The Republican Civil War in Colorado will not pause for elections. While candidates and volunteers were working hard on GOTV efforts this weekend, El Paso County Republicans were busy spending several hours yelling at each other about some other really dumb thing. As Ernest Luning reports for the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman: […]
[mantra-pullquote align=”right” textalign=”left” width=”65%”]“With respect, your word is not evidence, sir.” — Kyle Clark responding to Joe O’Dea’s claims that Google is “censoring” his campaign (10/28/22).[/mantra-pullquote] Glenn Kessler of The Washington Post wrote a detailed breakdown this week on the truth about election fraud in the United States. The short version is that actual cases of […]
Coloradans have been consistently clear. We are tired of election deniers and conspiracy theorists. Pam Anderson, the Republican candidate for Secretary of State, kicked off her campaign claiming she was not “that kind of Republican.” But as this year has progressed, Anderson has shown her true colors–defending election deniers like Lt. Governor Danny Moore, and […]
With only three days and change remaining in the dreadfully overheated 2022 election season in Colorado, we’ve arrived at what’s known in some regions of the country as “nut-cutting time”–that magic moment when political analysts drop their partisan game faces and start to show some honesty about the expected outcome. FOX 31 Republican talking head […]
You can count the number of days until the end of the 2022 election cycle on one hand. As Election Day looms, Republican Senate candidate Joe O’Dea and GOP gubernatorial no-hopeful Hiedi Heidi Ganahl are caught in a weird illogical loop of desperation and internal lies. Before we update you on the strange last days […]

DENVER: On […]
Colorado Congressperson Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert will likely be a bit nervous on Election Night as she waits to find out if recent polling numbers showing Democrat Adam Frisch gaining ground in CO-03 prove to be accurate. As we’ve noted before, Boebert is unquestionably the face of the Colorado Republican Party — and that’s probably the […]
“The mark of a good action is that it appears inevitable in retrospect.” –Robert Louis Stevenson
As some of the more online among our readers may be aware and we’ll forgive them if not, an exchange between Gov. Jared Polis and Republican challenger Hiedi Heidi Ganahl at their debate last week in Grand Junction has enjoyed a curious afterlife, becoming by far the most-discussed moment of the series of debates between […]
Republican Joe O’Dea is wrapping up his long, strange trip as a 2022 candidate for U.S. Senate by doubling-down on an obvious lie and hanging out with former Sen. Cory Gardner, whose last election cycle concluded with a nearly 10-point loss to Democrat John Hickenlooper. Before we get to Gardner, we’ll start with Friday’s final […]
Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you We’ve known each other for so long Your heart’s been aching, but you’re too shy to say it (say it) Inside, […]
As released yesterday by the conservative website Campfire Colorado, who we’re pretty sure thought they were helping GOP candidate for governor Heidi Ganahl: So no, not helping, but definitely granting some comic relief to the end of one of the worst campaigns in Colorado political history! These mashups are very popular with the MAGA […]
Last night, Colorado candidates for Secretary of State took part in one of the few public debates in that contest. The forum televised by 9News featured a lot of detailed discussion about elections and voting that was about as interesting as it sounds, but there was one key exchange between incumbent Democrat Jena Griswold and Republican […]
Now that Republican U.S. Senate candidate Joe O’Dea has presented himself on vengeful ex-President Donald Trump’s radar after O’Dea vowed to campaign against Trump in 2024 on national television while Trump happened to be watching, what was once grudging acquiescence to O’Dea among Trump loyalists has flipped like a switch to full-on hostility: As the […]
The editorial board of The Denver Post formally backed incumbent Democratic Gov. Jared Polis on Sunday, joining every serious newspaper in Colorado that plans to make endorsements for public office in 2022. We’d guess that supporting Polis was not a particularly difficult decision for the Post editorial board given the persistent lunacy of Republican gubernatorial nominee […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, your hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii talk once again with Andrew Baumann, senior vice president of research at Global Strategy Group and the lead pollster for the quarterly “Rocky Mountaineer” poll in Colorado. Baumann explains why the latest poll numbers here look so darn good for Democrats […]
This new television ad from the CO-07 campaign of Democrat Brittany Pettersen is the single best spot we have seen in Colorado in 2022. Take a look: This single TV ad absolutely demolishes attacks by Republican opponent Erik Aadland intended to label Pettersen as being on the wrong side of the debate about […]
Republican Erik Aadland is sinking fast, and he has finally realized that national Republicans will not be extending any branches to save him. Aadland is a full-fledged election denier who began the 2022 election cycle as a candidate for U.S. Senate before switching metaphorical horses and capturing the GOP nominee for Congress in CO-07 (Jefferson County-ish) […]
THURSDAY UPDATE #2: Still digging, folks: 🧵Asked about an ad and fundraiser claiming he's being censored by Big Tech, CO Senate candidate Joe O'Dea (R) says, "I got a crack team there, they found some anomalies. They addressed it with Google and they cleaned it up."The ad and fundraiser are still live.First:@KyleClark https://t.co/682cguuwzP pic.twitter.com/KBp11RWHjt — […]
Republican politicians in Colorado have fallen in love with a dubious talking point about fentanyl deaths in our state that has prompted at least two local news outlets to debunk the statistic. As Election Day draws closer, this talking point is getting shared with increasing frequency by Republican candidates. And it’s wrong. The talking point […]
Just over a week ago, ProgressNow Colorado launched our campaign calling on Joe O’Dea to release everyone who received settlement money attached to a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) from O’Dea’s company Concrete Express during the company’s long history of worker safety, fair pay, and discrimination cases so those victims can tell their stories. The response to […]
The Denver Post’s Seth Klamann reports today on the latest Mountaineer poll from Global Strategy Group and liberal activist group ProgressNow Colorado–numbers that cannot be spun any way positively for Republicans three weeks out from the 2022 midterm elections, and the downward trajectory for Republicans in the gubernatorial race in particular opening the possibility of […]
Several Colorado newspapers have decided against making endorsements in political races in 2022, including The Pueblo Chieftain, The Ft. Collins Coloradoan, and The Greeley Tribune. The Colorado Springs Gazette, meanwhile, has turned its candidate endorsement process into a ridiculous partisan pit of repetitive Republican talking points. The Gazette has completely given up on even pretending to be nonpartisan by endorsing […]
If you enjoy silly campaign schwag and you want to make an ass of yourself, then boy howdy do we have good news for you! Head on over to the schwag store at the website for Republican Senate candidate Joe O’Dea, and you can buy all sorts of bizarre crap. But the real gem is […]
UPDATE: The Denver Post finds some similar problems with Kellner’s narrative: Between 2020 and 2021, Colorado saw an 8% increase in crime against persons, according to state public safety data, compared to an increase of 12% in Kellner’s district. Judicial District 1 (Jefferson and Gilpin counties) saw a 5% increase, Judicial District 2 (Denver) saw […]
