Since that time, secessionists in Oregon have enjoyed somewhat greater success, with a […]
(“Turning down the temperature” — Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has introduced legislation to ban taxpayer-funded abortions for undocumented immigrants, according to a news release.

Although Colorado Republicans don’t have much to be proud of coming out of yet another disastrous election season in 2022, one piece of their political infrastructure Republicans appear to want to save is the so-called Common Sense Institute, an organization created to push conservative messaging with (hopefully) more credibility than the typecast old-school conservative “stink […]
As the Pueblo Chieftain’s Anna Lynn Winfrey reports, a proposed ordinance in Pueblo that would have banned abortions in that city, modeling a local ordinance that has spread in other states lacking Colorado’s recently-passed robust abortion rights protections, is dead after a 4-3 vote to indefinitely table the measure: Council President Heather Graham, Vicente Martinez […]

One of the more surprising outcomes of the 2022 election has opened the door to an unusual new recount request that could potentially have repercussions elsewhere. As part of the massive “Bluenami” that drowned darn near every Republican in Colorado in 2022, Democrat Bob Marshall upset “incumbent” Republican Rep. Kurt Huffman in Douglas County (HD-43) […]

(Preach only to the choir? — Promoted by Colorado Pols) “What really was frustrating to me is that the public, the people of Colorado, didn’t get to hear my heart. They didn’t get to hear who I am, or how I wanted to solve problems for them because [the news media] were so jaded and […]
(Interesting analysis — promoted by Colorado Pols) I took a break over lunch hour and looked at some of the election results here in Colorado.

Ernest Luning of the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog took a long-form look at the aftermath of the Colorado Republican Party’s calamitous 2022 midterm elections, as the party’s right-wing base demands heads roll for not supporting “America First candidates,” and the party’s funders and strategists who got exactly the candidates they wanted try to get […]

The Colorado Republican Party was already in the midst of a massive civil war even before the 2022 election inflicted unthinkable losses on the GOP.
