UPDATE: Another poll this weekend from CBS/New York Times: Mark Udall 46%, Cory Gardner 43%. —– Noting two polls that came out over the weekend in the Colorado U.S. Senate race, the first polls in several weeks. First, from Marist College Institute for Public Opinion for NBC News, showing incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Udall up six points over […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Back in July, Cosmo's Ada Calhoun quoted Keith Mason, president of Personhood USA, as saying: Mason: "[Cory Gardner has] built his entire political career on support of personhood. I think he's just listening to some bad advice, and he's playing politics." Calhoun didn't get into the details of how and why […]
Do you like Blueberries? Tomatoes? Fruit and Vegetables in general? Pay attention. California supplies the half of the United States produce and California is in the midst of a drought that could effect all of our families. And at this critical time, when we need every drop of water, the EPA and US Senate are […]
UPDATE #2: FOX 31's Eli Stokols: “Now that we know who was behind many of the false and slanderous ads that were purchased in Colorado in the final days of our primary season, there are many questions that Colorado Republicans deserve to have answered,” Tancredo said. “Voters deserve transparency and they deserve to have a […]
Lynn Bartels of the Denver Post reported Friday, and we didn't want it to escape mention: A new campaign ad that features the "Flat Earth Discussion Group," cheese by-products and a man with a sock puppet takes a humorous look at Colorado's fracking battle, but some voters aren't laughing. The Environmental Policy Alliance launched the 60-second […]
Craig Silverman returned to Denver’s radio waves a couple weeks ago, as you may know if you saw my recent blog post criticizing him for failing to challenge senatorial candidate Cory Gardner’s assertion that Sen. Mark Udall is simply “trying to distract voters” by attacking Gardner for his extreme anti-choice record, which isn’t “top of […]
For those of you who used to complain about the shrinking length of TV sound bites, but now you’re grateful for any political blip on TV at all, take this: A local TV public-affairs show that airs five days a week. That’s what Aaron Harber, who’s hosted public affairs programs here for years, in a […]
(Seriously? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Bob Beauprez suggested over the weekend that Hickenlooper was drunk when he played pool last week with President Obama. Beauprez made the comment on Craig Silverman's debut radio show Saturday on KNUS 710-AM. Here's the exchange: Silverman: Bob Beauprez, tell me this, because you could lock up a lot […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) One of the biggest election-year hypocrisies hanging out there, waiting for a civic-minded reporter to jump on, is the fact that senatorial candidate Cory Gardner remains a cosponsor of federal personhood legislation, even though he's told the world, both in interviews and even in a paid advertisement, that he's "learned more" […]
(Don't blame Jason, we added the photo – Promoted by Colorado Pols) The response to El Paso Sheriff Terry Maketa's troubles shows off talk-radio's ability to surprise and entertain. Here are some thoughts on Maketa's situation aired on KVOR's (CO Springs) Jeff Crank show on May 31, shortly after the photo of the shirtless Sheriff […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) As news spread last night that Tea-Party Republicans in Virginia ejected House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, Arapahoe Country Tea Party activists–here in Colorado–at their monthly meeting were hearing from gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo. And Bob Beuprtez was a no-show. Celebrating Cantor's victory with theme music ("We Are the Champions") and bravado […]
In responding to media reports, led by the Aurora Sentinel, that he voted against funds to reduce delays at Veterans Administration hospitals, Rep. Mike Coffman told reporters in a statement that he opposed the legislation because it cut cost-of-living increases for some military retirees. But as Fox 31 Denver's Eli Stokols pointed out, Coffman didn't mention anything about […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Local TV public affairs shows are usually shot deep inside TV stations, where the light of day and the reality of everyday life can be hard to find. Fox 31 Denver's Eli Stokols has dispensed of this problem by staging his new public affairs TV program at The Source, which is […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) A new study from Harvard takes a look at the math and science scores of various states and compares them to those of other countries. It also breaks down the results by the educational background of school childrens' parents. And what it says about Colorado is what we've all known for […]
Andrew Romanoff is running for Congress in the competitive 6th Congressional District (D+1) against an incumbent Republican, Mike Coffman. Andrew’s internal polling apparently indicated that he was having trouble motivating his base, who are largely sitting out the mid-term elections. So what does an attention-deprived desperate Dem would-be-Congressman do? Call in an off-the-wall national figure […]
(Lifestyles of the rich and creepy? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Some of the World Famous, Colorado-centric, Billionaire Koch Brothers family history is about to come out. And their anti-social, radical, reactionary, and anti-government attitudes will make a lot more sense to a lot more people. Sons of Wichita: How the Koch Brothers Became America’s Most Powerful and Private […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) With apologies to the film Steel Magnolias, starring Shirley MacClaine and Olympia Dukakis, here's a rant by a Colorado Springs talk-radio host against Michael Sam, the first openly gay man to (hopefully) be drafted into the National Football League. The audio of the rant, by KVOR's Richard Randall, is overlaid on […]
There’s endless speculation about why progressive talk shows repeatedly fail on commercial radio, and the latest to go down is Gloria Neal’s morning show on KKZN AM-760, Colorado’s Progressive Talk. Greg Foster, vice president/programming for Clear Channel, which owns the station, told The Denver Post’s Joanne Ostrow yesterday: “I can confirm that Gloria Neal’s show […]
Look, we get it. We understand the idea here. Rep. Cory Gardner was obviously concerned that his longtime support of the Personhood issue — both in Colorado and in Congress — would be a significant problem in his quest to defeat incumbent Sen. Mark Udall in November. From a broader perspective, it probably seemed like […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) KVOR guest host Jimmy Bensberg talked last week with Cynthia Coffman, who's running for Colorado Attorney General. CYNTHIA COFFMAN: Taking a page from U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s playbook, [Democratic AG candidate Don] Quick held a press conference on the steps of state courts building and called on John Suthers to […]
The Denver Post's Lynn Bartels reported yesterday, Treasurer Walker Stapleton is getting some family help from former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at a fundraiser next month. Oh wait, you didn't actually know Walker Stapleton is a member of the illustrious Bush family, did you? It's not a secret of course, but judging from cousin Jeb's favorability […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Journalists should let us know more often when politicians are ducking them. Or when they only talk through spokespeople. When a week or two goes by, and a public official refuses to talk, reporters should tweet it, if nothing else. On March 28, KNUS radio's Steve Kelley and co-host Bill Rogan […]
Eli Stokols reports that senatorial candidate Cory Gardner is defending his co-sponsorship of a 2007 bill that would have banned doctors from performing an abortion for rape and incest. Stokols reports: When he was a state lawmaker, Gardner signed onto Senate Bill 143 as a co-sponsor — he did not carry the bill himself, his […]
The conservative Daily Caller reports on a new poll conducted for Republican-aligned SuperPAC American Crossroads on the Colorado U.S. Senate race: Incumbent Colorado Democratic Sen. Mark Udall has a slim lead over his challenger, Republican Rep. Cory Gardner, according to a new poll from American Crossroads. Forty-five percent of those polled said they would vote for […]
Last week, it was announced that former Kansas Gov. and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius will resign, to be replaced by Sylvia Mathews Burwell, Director of the White House Office of Management and Budget. Sebelius leaves with an admittedly mixed record after presiding over the troubled rollout of President Barack Obama's namesake Affordable Care Act insurance marketplace […]
