(Who? Me? — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Republican state Senate candidate Lynn Gerber took to Facebook over the weekend to dispute reports that she supports the QAnon conspiracy theory. “Accusing me of being a QAnon is ridiculous, frankly I didn’t know much about it until they said I was one,” wrote Gerber, who’s trying to […]

Colorado Is Voting In Historic Numbers

It’s unprecedented: Sec of State Jena Griswold says 300,795 Coloradans have already voted!

Americans Love Them Some Early Voting

Ballots in Colorado hit mailboxes last weekend, and while it’s too early to look at ballot return numbers in our state, anecdotally we’re hearing that plenty of people have already submitted their votes for 2020. Colorado has been voting mostly by mail since 2014, so early voting isn’t a new phenomenon. But around the country, […]

Anschutz Gazette’s Endorsement Of Lauren Boebert Is Just Sad

It was bound to happen. After nearly every editorial board in Colorado’s Third Congressional District from the Pueblo Chieftain to the Durango Herald endorsed the Democratic candidate in this marquee race, former Rep.

Throwback Thursday: Four Years Ago Today

Four years ago today, as the controversy raged one day after a recording of then-GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump surfaced with Trump making a series of comments that crudely boasted of his supposed ability as a celebrity to commit sexual assault with impunity, Sen. Cory Gardner issued a statement that seems unthinkable today: calling for […]

Trump’s Stimulus Chaos Is Incredibly Stupid Politics

As the Washington Post reports, the on-again off-again lifeline millions of Americans are holding on for is back on again, two days after President Donald Trump sent markets and stimulus negotiations into disarray by declaring no deal until “after I win.” President Trump said Thursday that economic relief talks are back on and could include […]

No reporters, producers or […]

Former Colorado Republican state chair Amy C. Ollivier, a longtime party insider who now helps lead the state GOP’s “Women in Action” group, praised the Proud Boys in a long Facebook post, calling them “wonderful men” and “great Patriotic Americans.” Ollivier wrote her post Wednesday morning, following President Trump’s Tuesday night debate statement in which […]

“Blue State Bailout” BS Is Stopping Your Stimulus Check

Reports are varying out of Washington this afternoon over the state of negotiations over another round of economic relief legislation, which has been stalled for months as the economy sputters and Americans tighten their belts–and is nearly out of runway with Congress’ pre-election recess looming. Politico: [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi cast serious doubt on the […]

Gardner Takes Both Sides of Both Sides on ACA Lawsuit

FRIDAY UPDATE: As The Hill newspaper reports, Gardner sorta commented on his vote Thursday: Another bill, sponsored by Gardner, called the “Pre-Existing Conditions Protect Act” would actually let insurance companies refuse to sell coverage to people with preexisting conditions, experts say. If an insurer did decide to sell a policy to someone with preexisting conditions, under […]

Another Indication that Gardner’s Days are Numbered

Last week, the Cook Political Report changed its ratings for Colorado’s U.S. Senate race, moving their prediction to the left from “Toss Up” to “Lean Democratic.” Today, another national handicapper made an even bigger change: Sabato’s Crystal Ball has adjusted its ratings for Colorado from “Leans Democratic” to “Likely Democratic.” As Kyle Kondik and J.
