(It’s not just what they’d do, but also what they wouldn’t — Promoted by Colorado Pols) By Sharon Sullivan for the Colorado Times Recorder In an interview last week, John Kellner, the Republican who’s running to be Colorado’s top lawyer, wouldn’t name a case where he agreed with Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser’s decision […]
Colorado Public Radio’s Caitlyn Kim reports on the big news from the weekend–after a marathon “vote-a-rama” in the U.S. Senate that saw attempts from right and left to alter and therefore scuttle the Inflation Reduction Act, a massive reconciliation spending bill making historic investments in combating climate change along with changes to health care and […]
The Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul turns his attention today to a topic we’ve spent some time with in recent weeks after former Weld County commissioner and state Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer won the GOP primary to run for Colorado’s brand-new CD-8 seat in Congress. As Weld County commissioner in 2013, Kirkmeyer was one of the principal […]

Republican Erik Aadland announced this week that his campaign for CO-07 has received the endorsement of former Congressman and Presidential candidate Tom Tancredo. This is not much of a surprise given that Tancredo endorsed Aadland for U.S. Senate back in September 2021 (Aadland dropped out of that race to run for CO-07 in December 2021). […]
FRIDAY UPDATE #2: Attorney General Phil Weiser calls for this video to be pulled down and for candidates on both sides to condemn its violent rhetoric: Political ads suggesting gun violence have no place in Colorado or our political discourse. This out-of-state dark money group should pull this ad down. I urge elected officials and […]
UPDATE #2: What the hell is going on here? NEW: @ODeaForColorado campaign confirms O’Dea would still vote for Trump in 2024 if Trump is the Republican nominee. #copolitics #cosen https://t.co/mTAyfLux7c — Kyle Clark (@KyleClark) August 5, 2022 And with that, Joe O’Dea walks back today’s walk-back of his prior support for Donald Trump. What does […]
As the Washington Post reports this morning, new unemployment figures from the Department of Labor blew away the expectations of analysis, with the economy adding over 500,000 new jobs in the month of July: The unemployment rate edged down to 3.5 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, reaching its lowest point since February […]
(You never know who might have a clown suit in their closet — Promoted by Colorado Pols) A Colorado Republican state Senate candidate is employed by My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell to promote election fraud conspiracy theories. Melody Peotter, who is running for Senate District 25 in the north Denver suburbs, lists Lindell Management as […]
(The Tancredo kiss of death: how many candidates has Tanc doomed? — Promoted by Colorado Pols) By Heidi Beedle, Colorado Times Recorder Erik Aadland recently announced endorsements from far-right thought leaders Paul Vallely and Tom Tancredo. Last month, The Colorado Times Recorder reported on Aadland’s connection to far-right and QAnon social media accounts, and his […]
Right now, at the top of this page, there’s a pretty good chance you’re seeing an ad similar to this one: This ad has been running in heavy circulation on our site’s Google ad spaces for the last 48 hours or so, as well as a number of much larger political news sites including Politico […]
A press release from CD-3 Democratic nominee Adam Frisch touts polling numbers showing Frisch down by 7 points to freshman GOP outrage aggregator Rep. Lauren Boebert–obviously with room to improve but beating the expected performance for a Democrat in this R+9 district, as well as general expectations after Rep. Boebert blew out her Republican primary […]
Several absurd recount requests filed by sore-loser Republicans are scheduled to be completed on Thursday. But many of these candidates, including former Secretary of State candidate Tina Peters, are now trying to stop the recounts that they have already paid for because they don’t like how the recounting is being recounted…or something. This is all […]
As the Washington Post reports, though if you’re not living in a cave in…well, Afghanistan, you probably already know: The United States has killed Ayman al-Zawahiri, the leader of al-Qaeda and one of the world’s most-wanted terrorists, who, alongside the group’s founder, Osama bin Laden, oversaw the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, President Biden announced […]
We posted yesterday about an interview this week of GOP freshman calamity on wheels Rep. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert of Colorado by leading right-wing fringe mouthpiece Sebastian Gorka, in which Boebert asserted that a “disarmed populace” would lead to the eating of dogs. An explanation of the sequence of events between the disarming of the people […]
Marianne Goodland of the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman reports on a very weird fundraising story involving Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters, who was soundly defeated on June 28th in her bid to be the Republican nominee for Secretary of State: Campaign finance reports show embattled Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters […]
We haven’t heard a lot about the race for State Treasurer in 2022, which is not all that unusual. For one thing, few Coloradans understand what the State Treasurer actually does – and that may include the Republican candidate seeking the office this fall. Incumbent Democrat Dave Young is running for re-election against Republican Lang Sias, […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) By Isla Lader, Colorado Times Recorder One day after the U.S. House passed the Respect for Marriage Act (H.R. 8404) on July 19 with support from 47 Republican federal lawmakers, the director of Colorado Christian University’s Centennial Institute and chairman of the Western Conservative Summit, Jeff Hunt, announced on a local […]
As readers know, we have adopted a policy of screening the daily firehose of foolery from freshman GOP outrage singularity Rep. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert for only the most relevant or newsworthy items, lest we become a blog wholly dedicated to cataloguing the misdeeds of any one politician–which would certainly gratify Boebert’s ego, but quickly become […]
Republican gubernatorial candidate Hiedi Heidi Ganahl’s campaign was in trouble long before the debacle that consumed most of her July, when Ganahl’s first choice for lieutenant governor all too publicly rejected her, and then her second choice Danny Moore plunged the campaign into fresh crisis due to Moore’s well-known conspiracy theorizing about the results of […]
This week in episode 116 of the Get More Smarter Podcast, your hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii talk about unicorns…or at least the Republican politicians who want to be compared to these mythical creatures. More specifically, we answer a listener question about Republican Senate candidate Joe O’Dea and why he is as much of […]

Republican candidates for public office in Colorado have been saying for many months that the 2022 election is going to be all about gas prices, inflation, and crime. At least, they hope that’s what voters will be most worried about, because they absolutely do NOT want to have to talk about issues such as abortion […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Front Range developer Tim Walsh, who is running for state senate in Jefferson County, promises to “keep politics out of the classroom,” but he’s also funding a right-wing group with the opposite goal: teaching a conservative Christian version of American history to young people. In December 2020, Walsh and his wife […]
If you are a regular listener of The Get More Smarter Podcast, you know that the show often includes a segment called, “What the Buck?” This is a feature about Republican Rep. Ken Buck (R-Greeley-ish), who has gotten inexorably weirder the longer he has been in Congress. Buck was never what you would call a […]
