Plugged ColoradoPols on my “Stop the Insanity” Radio Show

To be honest, I love this webpage, and I am glad you hit 1 million votes. I just wish more people on the ballot will “pipe-off” here. As slammed on my twitter wall:  @charleym2010 Just Finished Recording Radio Show “STOP THE INSANITY” a Great 60 Min Show! on #BlogTalkRadio at http://tobtr.com/s/1240214 @charleym2010 My favorite political […]

Question of the week: how would Buck have voted on Brown v. Board of Education?

( – promoted by Colorado Pols) You may recall that last week’s BigMedia question of the week for reporters was, “Does Ken Buck support a ban on the use of morning-after pill, even for a woman who is raped by a family member? The answer turns out to be yes, as reported by 9News in […]

Among Denver media, Post and (believe it or not) a talk-radio show had most primary election impact

Before the memory of the primary elections slips behind us (yes, I know it’s been unforgettable, but still), I wanted to point out the media organ that’s moved off the sidelines to have the second greatest impact on the election. The Denver Post gets top honors as the most influential media outlet in Colorado, of […]

Rasmussen Gubernatorial Poll Shows Demoralized Partisans, Hick on Top

GOP-leaning pollster Rasmussen Reports’ poll of the Colorado gubernatorial race today: The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Voters finds Democrat John Hickenlooper, the mayor of Denver, with 36% support. Republican Dan Maes captures 24% of the vote while Tom Tancredo trails with 14%. Support for both Hickenlooper and Maes is down seven […]

How CO’s Gubernatorial Race Is (So Far) Depriving Voters of a Much-Needed Debate

( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Other than perhaps drug policy reform and some civil liberties issues, I rarely agree with the Denver Post’s conservative/libertarian columnist Vince Carroll on policy issues. However, his recent piece on what voters should be able to expect from candidates is right-on. Indeed, it is a must-read jeremiad against the […]

Hick can’t handle Mayor job; how can he handle Guv ?

. John Hickenlooper found out 16 months ago that there was video of the LoDo beatdown of a young man by a Denver patrolman, and that another policeman filed a false report to cover it up.   He found out 14 months ago that the Director of Safety that he appointed had decided to do […]

It’s a Fine Line Between Crazy & Extreme or How to Buck-Track on the Issues

( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Primaries bring out the crazy in politics, sort of like family feuds around the holiday dinner table. But the primaries are now behind us and candidates like Ken Buck will begin their “low crawl”” back to the middle. And we can begin having fun with all our new words: […]

Tom Tancredo on KHOW Caplis & Silverman: Live blogging

Tom Tancredo is on 630 KHOW with Dan Caplis and Craig Silverman. They haven’t asked how much money he’s raised. That’s the big question. My notes, so far. Not everything is a direct quote. I am the best option we have. l believe Dan Maes cannot win this race. I really do want more than […]

There is a good amount of evidence that shows cops in Denver to be Thugish!

(Don’t tase me bro – promoted by DavidThi808) In fairness I updated my title. This makes me sick to my stomach.  The cop beatings in Denver are out of control.  In the last week I have seen two videos of beatings and one video they won’t show of the guy they killed in police custody. […]

How will anti-contraception Amendment 62 affect Maes, Tancredo, Buck?

( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Republican candidates Ken Buck, Dan Maes and Tom Tancredo are trying to avoid talking about social issues this year. Voters just don’t want to talk about abortion, gay marriage and Big Government at your death bed. But the proponents of Amendment 62, otherwise known as the ‘personhood’ amendment, are […]

How Is This Not MUCH Worse Than What Blogs Are Doing?

We debated about whether we should even bring this subject up again, but we think the questions that came to mind when we first saw this story yesterday in The Denver Post worth the discussion. As many of you know, Colorado Pols was issued a “cease & desist” order by the Post and more than […]

How do we resolve the core Jobs issue?

Ok, let’s say the Democrats in Washington were able to pass everything they wanted to address the jobs situation. What would we get? More money for the states to keep state and local government employees employed and additional stimulus money. And if all we faced was a financial meltdown, this would be sufficient. But I […]

How Maes Hurts Dems

Complacency  and Overreach Maes?! What a maroon! What an ignoranimus! He can’t win. He doesn’t have his party’s support. He’s clearly unfit  to hold this office. I don’t have to even ask if any of this sounds familiar. Nor cite sources. That any of the characterizations of his ability, intellect or past are true is […]

Talk-radio show does great job of illuminating Buck as a deep social conservative

(Great listing of the Buck interview – promoted by DavidThi808) Talk radio can put you in the middle of a political worldview that’s completely foreign, with an intimacy and intensity that some people can’t stand. That’s understandable, but it’s also unfortunate because there’s a lot to be learned from radio talk shows. My own world […]

Superstitious voters: How many are there?

In the past three days I’ve talked to several people who claim they always vote for the guy they want to lose under the theory that whoever they vote for always seems to lose. It’s as if they believe there’s some sort of karmic element to elections where if they vote for Candidate A, it […]

New Polling Shows Bennet, Norton Ahead, GOP Gov. Tossup

New polling out this morning from Public Policy Polling has some interesting numbers across the board in the three top-ticket Primaries in Colorado: U.S. Senate (Democrats) Michael Bennet: 49% Andrew Romanoff: 43% Undecided: 9% U.S. Senate (Republicans) Jane Norton: 45% Ken Buck: 43% Undecided: 12% Governor (Republicans) Scott McInnis: 41% Dan Maes: 40% Undecided: 19% […]

How Much Money Has Colorado Pols Taken from the Bennet Campaign?

Colorado Pols don’t you think it’s important to disclose how much money you have raked in from the Bennet Campaign for advertising?   Colorado Pols has posted a thread critical of Andrea Merida for taking consulting fees from the Romanoff campaign and yet they refuse to disclose how much money Colorado Pols has taken from […]

Obama’s Opposition: How Racist?

I asked this question in a post on a thread, and was surprised that I didn’t get any real answers, which surprised me, so an anonymous poll which follows will now give folks an easier way to estimate the percentage of opposition to President Obama they believe to be motivated by race, rather than policy. […]

BREAKING: Tancredo Wants Governor, Calls for High Noon Showdown

UPDATE: Republican State Party Chair Dick Wadhams is none too happy about Tancredo’s ultimatum: I am terribly disappointed in Tom Tancredo’s announcement that he has made a backroom deal with a minor political party to run for governor. Tom Tancredo used the Colorado Republican Party to get elected to the Colorado House of Representatives in […]

Quinnipiac shows Gallup jump for Dems to be outlier.

(Finally! – promoted by ClubTwitty) Not just more bad news for the Dems in Congress, but Obama has fallen to his lowest approval rating ever. [Emphasis mine] Anti-incumbent sentiment slams both parties as voters disapprove 59 – 31 percent of the job Democrats are doing, and disapprove 59 – 29 percent of Republicans in Congress. […]

Anti-Churchill talk-show hosts have differing opinions on McInnis

( – promoted by Colorado Pols) It seems like an age has gone by since the Denver media, gamely led by the bygone Rocky Mountain News, was in full-bore media frenzy over a CU professor named Ward Churchill. And who was leading the frenzy, calling for the firing of Churchill after it was determined he […]

New poll shows Buck/Norton expand lead over Bennet; Romanoff makes some gains against either

A new poll out this morning shows that Ken Buck is expanding his lead against Michael Bennet in a hypothetical matchup.  If Buck and Bennet are the nominees, Buck is nearing the 50% mark and keeping Bennet below 40%. A hypothetical with Romanoff shows Buck with a significantly smaller lead, .5% outside the margin of […]

Romanoff up on TV, but how much?

Don’t know how big, Don’t know if it was a single midnight run, but it is a simple but effective ad. Unfortunately for the very talented Romanoff, his lack of money means that few will probably see it.

How did you come up with your handle?

(This is a lighthearted piece by a pols regular that has evoked a lot of response as a dairy.  In it, Go Raiders confesses he is not really a Raiders fan.  That goes a long way to renew my faith in human nature 😉 – promoted by Voyageur) After reading this site for several years, […]

Should the SOS Change How It Validates Candidate Petitions?

Ernest Luning of the Colorado Statesman has a good story today about Democrat Jennifer Coken’s efforts to get her candidate petition signatures validated. While Coken’s situation is a story in itself, the bigger question is whether the Secretary of State should be changing its process in general: Jennifer Coken’s name will stay on the Democratic […]
