Colorado politicos are still buzzing about State Sen. Kevin Priola’s big announcement on Monday that he was leaving the Republican Party and becoming a Democrat because of his disgust over the GOP’s refusal to address the issue of Climate Change and their continued embrace of the “Big Lie” propagated by former President Trump. In today’s […]
As the issue of abortion rights surges in importance for voters in 2022, the re-election campaign for Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Denver) is making sure that Coloradans understand that one of the most important tests for a candidate for U.S. Senate is their support for the Supreme Court Justices who voted to essentially overturn Roe v. […]
As most of our readers know, Colorado Republican Congressperson Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert is not what you would call a particularly serious person. Boebert spends most of her time Tweeting out juvenile insults and complaints about various Democrats and thirstily trying to get the attention of New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. When Boebert speaks […]
State Senator Kevin Priola of Henderson shook up the Colorado political world on Monday by announcing that he was switching parties and becoming a Democrat because he could no longer abide a Republican Party that opposed any efforts to combat Climate Change and refused to speak out against the Jan. 6 insurrection and the “Big […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) During a wide-ranging interview with conservative pundit Jon Caldara, Colorado congressional candidate Barb Kirkmeyer said she’d reduce federal spending, in part, by transforming Medicaid into a block grant system, a move that could lead to cuts for low-income Coloradans who rely on the federal-state health care program, say experts. “I think […]
This week in a SPECIAL EPISODE of the Get More Smarter Podcast, your hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii talk with not one, but two United States Senators. Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) and Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) stop by to discuss the 2022 election and some of the lesser-known details of the Inflation Recovery Act […]
UPDATE #2: Joe O’Dea kept digging in an interview today with KOA radio host Mandy Connell: MANDY CONNELL: I love that attitude. And I think it’s the right attitude. I have two follow up questions on abortion, because I want this issue, like buttoned up to be perfectly honest, I want to know everything. How […]
Yesterday, Cook Political Report updated their election forecast rankings in several U.S. Senate races, including Colorado’s where the rating for our race was downgraded from “Likely Democratic” to “Leans Democratic.” It’s a change that left some heads scratching after a poll at the beginning of the week by Republican-leaning McLaughlin and Associates showed incumbent Democratic […]
Five months ago, embattled Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters was approaching what we now know to have been the peak of her status as a right-wing celebrity. In late March, Peters had bonded out of jail and was seemingly everywhere, her name filling the pages of major publications across the country. Six weeks […]
It’s not a new revelation to report that Republican Hiedi Heidi Ganahl will literally say anything if she thinks it might earn her some support in her doomed campaign for Governor. Ganahl long ago made it clear that her core principles are mostly about convincing Colorado voters that she has some. Back in Nov. 2021, […]
Local attorney Jenna Ellis, who rose to a dubious kind of fame from relative obscurity as a Colorado Christian University instructor with little real-world legal experience joining the team of lawyers working on now ex-President Donald Trump’s behalf to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election by any means necessary, has built a reputation […]
UPDATE: Don’t take our word for it: This is a BFD. https://t.co/L0sh8ULo4T — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) August 16, 2022 —– As the Washington Post reports, the hard-won long-sought reconciliation spending package once known as the Build Back Better Plan and officially now known as the banal-sounding Inflation Reduction Act, was signed into law this afternoon […]
If Colorado Republicans are to have any hope of winning a majority in the State Senate in November, they probably need to win State Senate District 3 in Pueblo. The Republican candidate in the race, Stephen Varela, is already going to be digging himself out of a hole after numerous media reports focused on calls […]

UPDATE #2: Via POLITICO, Republicans are starting to feel the hangover from their “defend Trump” bender earlier this week: As new information emerged about the circumstances behind the FBI search, the contrast grew starker between Republicans advancing a knee-jerk defense of the former president and those who are simply calling for additional disclosures from DOJ. […]
The “Generic Congressional Ballot” is moving inarguably toward Democrats in recent weeks, another sign that the 2022 midterm elections might not be as favorable for Republicans as once thought. The GCB has long been a closely-watched metric in any election for trying to understand how support for Democrats or Republicans is changing over time. If […]
The Colorado Republican Party is well aware that the abortion rights issue is going to sink many of its candidates in 2022. Democrats continue to pick up ground in recent polling, in large part because overturning Roe v. Wade has pushed abortion rights to the top of the list of concerns for voters across the […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) by Logan M. Davis and Amber Carlson (This article was originally published in the Colorado Times Recorder) The top Republican in the Colorado House of Representatives worked to conceal his involvement with a political consulting firm from his colleagues in the legislature, according to hundreds of pages of never-before-published sworn testimony. The […]
The passage in the U.S. Senate last weekend of the long-sought budget reconciliation bill making historic investments in combating climate change, helping communities that have been hurt by industrial pollution, saving people money on health care, and (most important for some) paying for all of this by modest new taxes on corporations and replenishing depleted […]
As Colorado Newsline’s Sara Wilson reports, yesterday most of the upper slate of Colorado Republican candidates up for election this November came together for a rally to showcase their united front going into the 2022 midterm elections–a redux of the original much-maligned “Commitment to Colorado” rally one year ago organized by Colorado Republican Party chair […]
Republican Hiedi Heidi Ganahl kicked off her campaign for Governor last September with a series of interviews that were a complete disaster, punctuated by a laughable attempt to get tough with 9News reporter Marshall Zelinger (“Why all the divisive questions?“). She blamed the media for her own failure to answer basic and very obvious questions, […]
Senator Michael Bennet was a guest on MSNBC with Chris Jansing recently when he was asked about the fact that his Republican opponent, Joe O’Dea, alleges that Bennet is out of touch with Colorado voters. Bennet’s response was a good one. Click here for the entire 6-minute interview, or watch below for the #HorseSushi: […]
This week in a SPECIAL EPISODE of the Get More Smarter Podcast, your hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii talk with Colorado Sen. John Hickenlooper about the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and his efforts to help get Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) to agree to the biggest Climate Change reduction bill in […]
The big political news today is the stunning report that federal agents on Monday raided Mar-a-Lago in search of documents that former President Trump may have been hiding in violation of federal law. As The Washington Post reports: Trump said Monday that the FBI had raided his Mar-a-Lago Club and searched his safe — activity […]
As readers know, the state has enjoyed a healthy temporary bounty of revenue over the last couple of years, and under the 1992 Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, revenue arbitrarily determined by TABOR’s Byzantine formula to be “excess” must be refunded to taxpayers through a variety of prescribed means. This year, the Democratic majority in the […]
