UPDATE: On a Thursday night before Election Day, Joe O’Dea was in Rifle, Colorado. Great to be back at Rib City in Rifle tonight. Folks are fed up with the reckless policies of Joe Biden and his yes man Michael Bennet. I’m running to fight for working Americans. I’m running to get our country […]
This week on a special pre-election episode of the Get More Smarter Podcast, hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii make their final prognostications for the 2022 Election. We also talk again with Andrew Baumann, senior vice president of research at Global Strategy Group and the lead pollster for the quarterly “Rocky Mountaineer” poll in Colorado, […]
(Here’s your sign — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado State Board of Education candidate Peggy Propst is the latest Republican to sound the alarm over Colorado students she claims are dressing as “furries” and want “litter boxes in the bathroom.” “We have furries in our classrooms, kids that come to school and believe that they […]
Democratic CD-3 candidate Adam Frisch, battling to restore the honor of the Third Congressional District after two years of freshman GOP doe in a China shop (would still break lots of stuff) Rep. Lauren Boebert, is projecting confidence going into the last few days of voting, sending out a release yesterday asking the next logical […]
You can count the number of days until the end of the 2022 election cycle on one hand. As Election Day looms, Republican Senate candidate Joe O’Dea and GOP gubernatorial no-hopeful Hiedi Heidi Ganahl are caught in a weird illogical loop of desperation and internal lies. Before we update you on the strange last days […]
Adding to a growing consensus of polling in recent weeks, the University of Colorado’s American Politics Research Lab released their latest Colorado Political Climate Survey, with numbers in line with other recent polls showing Gov. Jared Polis rapidly pulling away in the Colorado governor’s race, incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet prevailing over Republican challenger Joe O’Dea […]
On Monday, ProgressNow Colorado called for a new ad released by Republican congressional candidate Barb Kirkmeyer to be removed from circulation for falsely claiming that her opponent and the Democratic majority in the Colorado legislature “legalized fentanyl.” [1] There is absolutely no justification for Kirkmeyer’s claim that “Democrats legalized fentanyl.” That simply never happened. It’s […]
We wrote earlier about Republican Senate candidate Joe O’Dea inexplicably spending the last week of the 2022 election cycle touring the Western Slope and Eastern Plains of Colorado. This is a strange tradition for GOP Senate candidates who know they are about to lose, from Bob Schaffer in 2008 to Cory Gardner in 2020. On […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) POLS UPDATE: 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark and Marshall Zelinger tore into Barb Kirkmeyer’s false ad with unusual gusto last night, taking a moment to discuss what elevates a merely false statement by a politician into a knowing and deliberate lie–which this ad is: —– In a Sept. 27 interview on Colorado Public […]
We took note late last Friday of a new ad running from Republican CD-8 congresssional candidate Barb Kirkmeyer that falsely and repeatedly claims Colorado Democrats “legalized fentanyl,” a claim that has absolutely no basis in reality after legislation passed this year in Colorado significantly tightening penalties for possession of the drug. Previous to this year, […]

UPDATE: For a little more perspective: We’re running a total of about 46k ballots short of where we were now in 2018 which can be attributed to many factors (longer ballot, different counties at different speeds, etc.) but what’s striking is how far behind Rs are relative to Ds and how far ahead Us are […]
Colorado Congressperson Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert will likely be a bit nervous on Election Night as she waits to find out if recent polling numbers showing Democrat Adam Frisch gaining ground in CO-03 prove to be accurate. As we’ve noted before, Boebert is unquestionably the face of the Colorado Republican Party — and that’s probably the […]
(At least someone has been listening to Joe O’Dea — Promoted by Colorado Pols) A candidate who says one thing to one audience and the opposite to another is the most common political cliche. It’s rarer to catch one doing so in front of a reporter, but that’s what has happened to Tim Walsh, a […]
As some of the more online among our readers may be aware and we’ll forgive them if not, an exchange between Gov. Jared Polis and Republican challenger Hiedi Heidi Ganahl at their debate last week in Grand Junction has enjoyed a curious afterlife, becoming by far the most-discussed moment of the series of debates between […]
Republican Joe O’Dea is wrapping up his long, strange trip as a 2022 candidate for U.S. Senate by doubling-down on an obvious lie and hanging out with former Sen. Cory Gardner, whose last election cycle concluded with a nearly 10-point loss to Democrat John Hickenlooper. Before we get to Gardner, we’ll start with Friday’s final […]
Ever since Republican gubernatorial candidate Hiedi Heidi Ganahl introduced the issue of students “identifying as cats” as a campaign theme, later clarifying to Colorado Public Radio that a school play about “a raven that does a sex-change operation” was one of the events that motivated Ganahl to run for office, we’ve been watching for Ganahl’s […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, your hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii are joined by State Sen. Kevin Priola of Henderson, who made lots of news this fall by switching parties from Republican to Democrat. Senator Priola talks about how he ended up leaving the Republican Party, how he plans to vote in […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Halloween week has brought lots of scary news for the climate. Two new reports show that the climate emergency is here, the pollution driving it and its impacts are both growing rapidly, and nations all across the world are failing badly to meet the goals necessary to avert worsening disaster, which […]

Data shows the opposite happened. awesome + controversy Coloradans search for pumpkin spice lattes more than people in other […]
Ever since winning the Republican primary for Colorado’s brand-new ultra-competitive CD-8 seat in Congress, state Sen. Barb Kirkmeyer has been forced to pivot much harder from her record as a far-right red meat spewing secession-backing anti-abortion activist in order to appeal to this swingiest of districts. Kirkmeyer has flat denied her previous self on abortion […]
Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you We’ve known each other for so long Your heart’s been aching, but you’re too shy to say it (say it) Inside, […]
We’ve been posting regular reminders of this each time a new story emerges about the obscene profits being collected by oil and gas companies. The reason that gasoline prices have been so high (though they are going down) is not because of President Biden or Gov. Jared Polis or government regulations. To paraphrase an old line […]
Here’s a cool program worth highlighting from a press release via the Secretary of State’s office: Today, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, Regional Transportation District (RTD) General Manager and CEO Debra A. Johnson, Boulder County Clerk and Recorder Molly Fitzpatrick, and Denver County Clerk and Recorder Paul D. López highlighted two upcoming zero fare […]

(Chase Woodruff/Colorado Newsline) by Chase Woodruff, Colorado Newsline October 27, 2022 In Tuesday night’s U.S. Senate debate in Colorado, Republican challenger Joe O’Dea saved his most pointed attack on incumbent Democratic […]
