Seriously wealthy property developer turned Colorado GOP U.S. Senate candidate Gino Campana is running, as wrote about recently with the hire by Campana of former high-profile Donald Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway, with a single-minded strategy to appeal to the pro-Trump majority within the Republican Party faithful expected to participate in the caucus process. Today, […]
“Each success only buys an admission ticket to a more difficult problem.” –Henry Kissinger
(Now THAT’S a new angle — Promoted by Colorado Pols) At a campaign meet-and-greet event in Cañon City Monday night, Republican candidate for Colorado governor Danielle Neuschwanger launched into a monologue, filled with false accusations about Democratic Gov. Jared Polis, saying he “is not gay” and that his marriage to Marlon Reis “is a sham.” […]

(The quiet part, except out loud – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Last month, Colorado Politics’ Evan Wyloge broke the story of Rep. Matt Soper’s redistricting presentation, in which the legislator provided local Republican party officers and activists with alternate maps and testimony intended to keep him and at least one of his Western Slope colleagues […]

Our friends at Right Wing Watch bring us the latest example of freshman Rep. Lauren Boebert doing the thing she does best, which is making stuff up on friendly right-wing media forums who would never think of fact-checking her in real time. Boebert appeared yesterday on the “prime time” streaming channel of far-right personality “Dr.” […]

On this day in 1773, colonists living in Boston threw a bunch of tea into the harbor. The original “Tea Party” was much less insane than the modern version.

We wrote yesterday about the news that Rep. Ken Buck (R-Greeley) and Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colorado Springs) had both added their names to an amicus brief related to that asinine Texas lawsuit seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 election so that Donald Trump can remain in the White House. It seems that we […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) We have: 1) Trump refusing to say if he’ll leave office peacefully, 2) Trump on the ballot, and 3) candidates in some of Colorado’s most important state races not saying whether they support or oppose Trump. For Colorado, that’s an unacceptable situation, right? You’d think so, but when I call some […]
We’ll preface this opinion with all of the necessary clichés: It’s not over until the fat lady sings. The future isn’t carved in stone. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. These are all wise sayings, but Election Day is less than 40 days away. Mail ballots in Colorado start going out in two weeks. […]

Colorado Public Radio’s Caitlyn Kim reports on the “skinny” coronavirus relief package unveiled by the Republican U.S. Senate majority yesterday–which, after months of delays and promises from Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sen. Cory Gardner alike, contains much, much less relief than the American economy needs: The bill, titled Delivering Immediate Relief to America’s Families, […]
Yesterday, Sen. Cory Gardner once again complained about the decision by former Gov. John Hickenlooper to skip the Club 20 annual conference debates, which as we’ve discussed at length in this space have faded from prominence in recent years due to stilted politics and equally antiquated execution in the digital campaign era: It’s nothing new, […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports on the continuing decline of Club 20–a Western Slope county-based boosterism group whose annual conference was once a regular stop for candidates in election years, but lost relevance as the group’s internal politics skewed right: The Democrat in the race for the 3rd Congressional District, Diane Mitsch […]
(The turtling kiss of death – Promoted by Colorado Pols) In recent fundraising appeals, Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner’s election campaign has referenced endorsements by Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and other Republican senators. But over the weekend, Gardner’s campaign went further, blasting out an “exclusive video message” from McConnell imploring Republicans to “step up and […]
Brought to our attention via local political reporter Sandra Fish, here’s a mailer that hit yesterday in the increasingly nasty HD-22 primary pitting incumbent Rep. Colin Larson against the previous holder of the seat, former Rep. Justin Everett–Everett having given up the seat in 2018 after losing the GOP Treasurer primary to general election loser […]

Colorado Public Radio reports on the event dominating Gov. Jared Polis’ work week, a trip to Washington, D.C. to meet with President Donald Trump in a newly contaminated area of the city known as the White House: “The Governor’s first priority is the health and safety of Coloradans, and the federal government is an important […]

Responding to the latest damage control efforts from the Trump administration over the co-opting of 500 ventilators previously bound for Colorado, Gov. Jared Polis was more diplomatic than we could ever hope to be–but did not change the state’s position, via the Colorado Sun’s Unaffiliated newsletter today: A Polis spokesman did not address the FEMA […]
SUNDAY UPDATE: Call him President Backpedal, reports Politico: President Donald Trump announced Saturday that he would not be quarantining New York City’s metro area, which has emerged as the nation’s largest hot spot for the coronavirus, after floating the idea earlier in the day… Federal law gives the president and the federal government vast emergency […]
