In the last couple of weeks since Republican gubernatorial nominee Hiedi Heidi Ganahl decided entirely of her own volition to make a costume subculture (what’s known as “cosplay”) called “furries” the central moral panic driving her campaign, Ganahl has been brutally lampooned for recycling a widely-spread and debunked conservative conspiracy theory suggesting that children are […]
As we wrote in this space just a few weeks ago, Republican Joe O’Dea’s campaign for U.S. Senate seems to have been modeled in part on the 2014 strategy that saw Republican Cory Gardner narrowly elected to the U.S. Senate against incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Udall. As we noted in that same post, there’s not […]
The last time we asked this question, here’s what you thought. Given the catastrophic meltdown of Republican gubernatorial candidate Hiedi Heidi Ganahl’s campaign, we’re rewording this poll question. Who will win the race for Governor in November? Will it be incumbent Democrat Jared Polis, or incumbent Democrat Jared Polis? *Remember, as always with our […]
Here’s what readers thought the last time we asked this question. Now we’re asking again: Who will win Colorado’s U.S. Senate race? Will incumbent Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet earn a third term, or will Republican businessman Joe O’Dea pull off the upset? *Remember, as always with our totally non-scientific polls, we want to know […]
Here’s what you thought the last time we asked this question. Now, it’s time to vote again. Colorado’s new eighth congressional district is the most competitive federal race in the state. Will Democratic State Rep. Yadira Caraveo be the first-ever representative from this North Metro area district, or will it be Republican State Sen. Barbara […]
The absolutely bonkers Furry-Lago conspiracy that Republican gubernatorial candidate Hiedi Heidi Ganahl won’t stop talking about is gaining national attention — and it’s about to get much, much worse because Ganahl is making horrifying (and probably illegal) decisions in pushing this widely-debunked story. Ganahl has photos of children in Colorado schools — presumably taken without […]
In last November’s Aurora municipal elections, voters elected a slate of Republican candidates to the city council who ran campaigns focused on public safety issues. Nearly one year later, the new people in charge are trying to pretend that crime rates have decreased — providing no actual evidence — while proving to be utterly incapable […]
We’re several news cycles into Hiedi Heidi Ganahl’s latest bout of race-derailing wackiness, determining that the best way to boost her sinking campaign is to open a new front against the peril of “furries”–claiming without any factual basis that a subculture of students “identifying as cats” are disrupting learning for kids across the state. After […]

UPDATE: As The Washington Post reports in a story about Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker: With polls showing Republican candidates underperforming the fundamentals in several key Senate races, Walker — for all his previous problems, which were many — hasn’t lagged as badly as some. And just two weeks ago, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) By Sharon Sullivan for the Colorado Times Recorder U.S Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) spoke at a Mesa County Republican Women luncheon on Monday, where she mentioned she received a call last week from a father whose kid was in trouble at school because he “stepped on a furry.” Furries are fans […]
UPDATE: Bill Kristol huffs the hopium: Upset in CO-03? A new poll has Democrat Adam Frisch within two points of incumbent Republican Lauren Boebert. 47% of likely voters say they’ll vote for Boebert and 45% for Frisch. A similar poll in July had Boebert ahead 49% to 42%. — Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) October 4, 2022 […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, your hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii try to understand what in the holy hell is wrong with Republican gubernatorial candidate Hiedi Heidi Ganahl and her obsession with furries. Later, we talk about GOP Senate candidate Joe O’Dea and his definition of “Chickeenos”; the weird maybe-not-a-coincidence campaign strategy that […]
Having secured the Republican nomination for one of the nation’s most competitive congressional races, state Sen. Barb Kirkmeyer has joined the stampede of Colorado GOP candidates to the alleged ideological center, pivoting to appeal to general election voters for whom most of the issues candidates proudly embraced in the primary are now as repellent as […]
UPDATE: Heidi Ganahl…quintuples down? Sextuples down? It defies comprehension: 🐱: In response to her claims that kids are identifying as cats in Colorado schools, @heidiganahl issued a statement to @KRDONC13, saying parents, teachers, and students know what is happening, not legislators, lazy members of the media, or Governor Jared Polis. #copolitics https://t.co/RXAB8G6ErS pic.twitter.com/NgxsM00yVC — Spencer […]
Republican Senate candidate Joe O’Dea is well on his way to being defeated by incumbent Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet in November. A new bipartisan poll released on Friday from Keating Research and Magellan Strategies shows Bennet leading O’Dea 46-36, which tracks with what we’ve seen from most public polling in recent months. O’Dea may be […]
Who ya got in this one? Click here to see the results from the last time we asked this question. Click below to vote anew. Will incumbent Democrat Jena Griswold win re-election, or will Republican challenger Pam Anderson get the ‘W’? *Remember, as always with our totally non-scientific polls, we want to know what […]
The candidates for Governor in Colorado got together today for a candidate forum at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science hosted by Colorado Concern. Republican Hiedi Heidi Ganahl and incumbent Democratic Gov. Jared Polis took turns answering questions from moderator Dean Singleton, the longtime publisher of The Denver Post and a well known conservative […]
Vote! Vote! Vote! Here are the results from the last time we asked this question. Who will win the race for State Treasurer in November? Will it be incumbent Democrat Dave Young, or perennial Republican candidate Lang Sias? *Remember, as always with our totally non-scientific polls, we want to know what you legitimately THINK […]
More polls! Who will be elected in the new version of CO-07 to succeed the retiring Rep. Ed Perlmutter? Will it be Democratic State Sen. Brittany Pettersen, or Republican guy Erik Aadland? *Remember, as always with our totally non-scientific polls, we want to know what you legitimately THINK will happen — not what you […]
It’s been awhile since we asked readers this question, so let’s get right to it. What will happen in the race for Attorney General between incumbent Democrat Phil Weiser and Republican Arapahoe County-ish District Attorney John Kellner? *Remember, as always with our totally non-scientific polls, we want to know what you legitimately THINK will happen — […]
Governor Jared Polis and Republican challenger Hiedi Heidi Ganahl squared off on Wednesday night in Pueblo for the first gubernatorial debate of the 2022 General Election. To the extent that there were any fireworks, they were more like mini sparklers than anything that went ‘boom.’ Wednesday’s forum was missing much of the suspense and build […]
Take a look at the following quotes and see if any of them sound familiar. We’ll number each quote to make it easier to check your answers later. 1) “I’ve not seen anything that is even a semblance of a campaign.” 2) “She’s running an aggressive and low-budget campaign for school board, but […]
(Wendy Meritt everywhere — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Republican Lang Sias wants to be Colorado’s next treasurer, but first he has to convince voters that he’s the best choice to manage the state’s multi-billion dollar finances. Yet, after learning that a QAnon-supporting Jan. 6 participant gave his campaign $1,250 — the maximum amount allowed — […]
If you’re wondering why the fundraising pitches from political candidates have ramped up dramatically in recent days, it’s because of tomorrow’s critical fundraising deadline. Q3 numbers before an election are an important barometer of real-world competitiveness, and have a way of cutting through campaign bluster and revealing where the races that matter are (and aren’t).
