(“Squeaky” Craig Silverman makes good? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) KNUS 710-AM’s Craig Silverman has been doing us all a favor by interviewing Colorado’s Republican U.S. Senate candidates, but his interview with El Paso Country Commissioner Peggy Littleton Saturday stood out, because he dug in with follow-up questions. Silverman: If Roe vs. Wade is overturned then […]
One Colorado, the state’s leading LGBT advocacy group, is circulating the video you can see above highlighting the, um, the lowlights from the recent debate in the Colorado House over House Bill 16-1210–legislation that would ban the widely-discredited practice of so-called “conversion therapy” by licensed mental health professionals seeking to “cure” LGBT Coloradans of, you […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) At last night’s caucuses, local Republicans generally didn’t hold preference polls on the presidential race but there were exceptions, like Adams Country, a swing district that might possibly serve as a barometer of how Colorado would have gone on the red side. Thanks to The Denver Post for reporting the GOP […]
Particle physics. Donald Trump’s “hair.” Advanced calculus. James Joyce. Our world is full of complicated and difficult-to-understand topics, and figuring out how to navigate Colorado’s caucuses is certainly on that list. John Frank of the Denver Post took on the Herculean task of trying to explain the caucus process with his “Colorado Caucuses: 10 Things You Need to Know” story […]
As the Washington Post reports, the all-important Senate Judiciary Committee is locking down against holding any hearings on a possible replacement for recently deceased Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia: Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee are determined not to hold hearings on President Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court, making it clear on Tuesday […]
(Makes you wonder, doesn’t it? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Much has been written about the Democrats’ proposal to remove a hospital fee from TABOR restrictions, freeing up about $370 million for highways, schools, and other government projects that lack funding. But one question that hasn’t been explained fully is, why the near unanimous opposition […]
UPDATE: An astute on-background source corrects us: Gardner isn’t hedging: he’s rationalizing. And it’s not Teflon Cory: it’s Con Man Cory. —– UPDATE: Sen. Cory Gardner jumps on the obstruction bandwagon: NOW: @SenCoryGardner tells #9NEWS he supports McConnell on #SCOTUS, voters should "play a role" in selecting next justice in Nov. #COsen — Brandon Rittiman […]
In case you weren’t listening, you need to know that there have been big shakeups in the conservative talk-radio world recently, as KHOW 630-AM’s Mandy Connell replaced KOA 850-AM’s Mike Rosen, who retired, and Ross Kaminsky took over Connell’s morning show slot (which has about 60,000 weekly listeners). It’s a major jump for Kaminsky, who’s […]
In honor of Denver talk-radio host Mike Rosen’s last regular show (today at noon), I thought I’d offer you some jokes Rosen told in April on air. He said he wanted to give “equal time” to women. Rosen: “There are the old clichéd blond jokes and other techniques at taking pot shots at women. This falls into […]
There’s plenty of stories to discuss about the terrorist attack on the Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, from weird reactions by GOP politicians to accountability demands by Progressive activists. Frankly, we need a break from these stories, so here’s something about a famous rich guy leading the Republican field for President. Our friends at […]
(We couldn’t have said this any better – Promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE: Liberal group ProgressNow Colorado calls on all sides to step up and do what needs to be done to close Gitmo: “Our nation’s reputation as a moral leader in world affairs has been severely damaged by the illegal imprisonment without trial of […]
(Stupid…facts and stuff!!! — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Last week, the Colorado Department of Health and Ennvironment (CDPHE) blasted a news release to reporters crediting a pregnancy-prevention program for reducing teen abortion and pregnancy rates by 50 percent in Colorado, an increase of over 10 points from a year ago. The program provides free or […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) 9News, Colorado’s NBC affiliate, is showing the world (Or, let’s hope, at least other Denver TV stations) how to air a longish-form political interview show–and make it interesting and important in the new media landscape. This week’s interview with Hillary Clinton, which will be aired Sunday on the program, called Balance of […]
Temperatures have been rising on the Jefferson County School Board ever since three right-wing members were elected to take over the Board majority in November 2013. As Colorado Pols readers are no doubt aware, these three Board members — Ken Witt, John Newkirk, and Julie Williams — are now facing a November recall election for a […]
(Classy — Promoted by Colorado Pols) On the national infotainment stage, Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson is standing by his comment that a Muslim should not be president. And deep in the bottom-feeding waters of Colorado Springs talk radio, it gets worse. Apparently inspired by Carson, KVOR radio host Richard Randall launched into a tirade […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) It’s after Labor Day, and the thin lineup of Republicans even thinking about challenging Sen. Michael Bennet would make you believe they’re scared of Michael Bennet and his war chest. But Cory Gardner, on KNUS radio Wed., sees it this way: Republicans are actually scared of “taking fire.” Gardner: I think […]
(Another of life’s winners – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Last month, the Houston Chronicle reported that “about 25 members of the Black Panthers marched in front of the Waller County Jail in Hempstead Wednesday to protest the arrest of Sandra Bland and other cases they characterized as ‘crimes against black people.’” Bland, you recall, apparently […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) For an RH Reality Check post yesterday, I interviewed some familiar pundits for their take on the question of whether continued attacks on Planned Parenthood, including the recent demand by 30 GOP state lawmakers for an investigation of the women’s health organization, will affect candidates in next year’s election in Colorado. […]
There’s an interesting story today in The Hill attempting to predict which of the 17 Republican candidates for President will still have active campaigns by the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucus on Feb. 1, 2016. From The Hill’s perspective, there are 7 Republican Presidential candidates who might not make it to the Iowa caucus: Rick Perry, Rand […]
It has become something of a tradition here at Colorado Pols for us to give you, our loyal readers, a live blog, play-by-play of political debates relating to Colorado and the race for President…and we’re doing it twice in one day! Earlier this evening we live-blogged the “Junior Varsity” debate featuring the second tier of […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) KLZ 560-AM will install a new morning-show host this week, replacing Randy Corporon, who resigned in protest after station owner Don Crawford, Jr, temporarily banned former Rep. Tom Tancredo and (reportedly) GOP Chair Steve House from KLZ’s airwaves. “Yes, our man, Rush, will announce and introduce him Monday during his show,” […]
The Colorado Independent’s Nat Stein reports on legislation co-sponsored by Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet, along with Reps. Ed Perlmutter and Jared Polis in the House: Sen. Michael Bennet joined 21 other senators to introduce a bill on Monday that would reinstate honor for the estimated 100,000 military service members discharged since World War II for […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Last week on Colorado Public Television’s Colorado Inside Out, Dave Kopel showed real independence, not allegiance to the ideology of the Independence Institute, where he works, when he called Democrat Morgan Carroll “formidable” and a “really excellent” candidate to take on Republican Rep. Mike Coffman next year. Kopel, who also praised Coffman, has […]
Last week on Colorado Public Television’s Colorado Inside Out, Dave Kopel showed real independence, not allegiance to the ideology of the right-leaning Independence Institute, where he works, when he called Democrat Morgan Carroll “formidable” and a “really excellent” candidate to take on Republican Rep. Mike Coffman next year. Kopel, who also praised Coffman, has a reputation as […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE: In response to the request of a commentator, I asked Crank if he still holds the opinion below, which he expressed over two weeks ago. Here’s his response. CRANK: Yes, I still believe that Cynthia Coffman should welcome an investigation by an independent authority. I don’t know if what she […]
