May the Sixth Be With You; that doesn’t make nearly as much sense. It’s time to Get More Smarter with Colorado Pols! If you think we missed something important, please include the link in the comments below (here’s a good example).

Following a petition drive in January to expose the ethically questionable record of Rep. Jon Keyser, ProgressNow Colorado, the state’s largest online advocacy organization, released comments from the public showing Coloradans are tired of dishonest right-wing politicians who will say and do anything to win elections. This comes after Washington, D.C.-based ethics group American Democracy […]

Elena Schneider of Politico has a new story up this afternoon about the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) turning its short attention span to 34-year-old freshman State Rep. Jon Keyser as the newest bright shiny object in a quest to defeat incumbent Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Denver) in 2016. .@NRSC chasing state Rep. @Jon_Keyser for #COSen, a decorated combat veteran who […]
The ability to instantly reach a vast audience of people via social media is becoming a real “kiss/curse” for some of the more radical Republican elected officials in Colorado following last week’s terror attack on a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs. We’ve talked at length now about the angry screed from Rep. JoAnn Windholz of Adams […]
The Colorado Secretary of State has released early (and unofficial) voter turnout numbers; enjoy the spreadsheet. It’s time to Get More Smarter with Colorado Pols.

We just finished up with our debate diary of “The Less-Than-One Percenters” debate from earlier this afternoon. Now it’s time for the big event! We’re gonna keep on keeping on with the Colorado Pols Debate Diary once again. *NOTE: The most current update appears at the top of the page. As always, unless it is in direct quotes, consider […]
(Everybody, under the bus! — promoted by Colorado Pols) On KNUS radio show this morning, Tom Tancredo said he, along with Attorney General Cynthia Coffman and Pueblo Country GOP Chair Becky Mizel, were “selected” by fellow Republicans to demand the resignation of GOP Chair Steve House. Though Coffman called the meeting, they acted at the […]
I have to hand it to Senator Michael Bennet. The guy has balls. I mean, how else do you explain how the guy can: • vote for the Keystone XL pipeline, then; • vote to override the President’s veto of the same bill; • vote to undermine the administration’s efforts to get a nuclear deal, […]
UPDATE: It's been animated, because of course: Sorry, folks. It can't be unseen now. —– Via NBC News, here's House Speaker John Boehner blowing kisses at a reporter who asks a question about funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Watch the video:
One line of thinking, on talk radio, in response to the funeral of a lesbian woman being booted from New Hope Ministries in Lakewood is: blame the grieving friends and family! Check out this excerpt from KNUS' Kelley and Company, with hosts Steve Kelley and Krista Kafer yesterday: KRISTA KAFER: Well, at first blush, it sound like those […]
"All the president is is a glorified public relations man who spends his time flattering, kissing and kicking people to get them to do what they are supposed to do anyway." –Harry Truman
Tea Party Express, which bills itself as the largest Tea Party political action committee in the country, announced yesterday — yes, yesterday — that it is endorsing Republican Congressman Mike Coffman in CD-6. Check out the endorsement press release, however, and note how the language is so plain that it could apply to just about […]
(Eep – promoted by Colorado Pols) (Image credit goes to Constantine Report) The word “treason” gets thrown around a lot these days, but in this case the shoe absolutely fits. Tom Tancredo, a former Colorado Congressman and recent Gubernatorial primary loser, has become increasingly vocal about the idea that if Obama isn’t impeached, or […]
(You're not helping… – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Rep. Paul Ryan was in town last week, and he did a round of interviews on talk radio shows, hoping to find a audience hungry for his new book, which essentially explains how the Tea Party can grab actual control of things, instead of just throwing wrenches […]
Yesterday, the anti-abortion National Right to Life PAC endorsed Republican U.S. Senate candidate Cory Gardner, citing Gardner's longstanding opposition to "unrestricted abortion." From their press release: Sen. Udall’s own radical abortion position is far out of the mainstream. Mark Udall supports a policy of abortion on demand, which allows abortion for any reason. He voted to […]
FOX 31's Eli Stokols reports on the continuing reverberations from Tuesday's stunning ouster of U.S. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor by an underdog Tea Party-backed challenger: With precious days left to sway primary voters, three of the four Colorado Republicans seeking their party’s gubernatorial nomination are aligning themselves with the anti-establishment wave that just toppled the second […]
As the Denver Post's Kurtis Lee reports, 2012 GOP presidential loser Mitt Romney is endorsing another Colorado Republican–after giving his blessing to Bob Beauprez last week, Romney lends his affections to embattled Rep. Mike Coffman: “I am proud to endorse Mike Coffman for Congress. Mike has proven himself to be a voice of common sense for Colorado. […]

FINAL ANALYSIS: There was quite a contrast among the main contenders here (Buck, Hill, and […]
UPDATE: The Denver Post reports: The lawsuit filed Wednesday names Gov. John Hickenlooper and Denver City Clerk Debra Johnson as defendants. Currently Colorado permits civil unions between gay couples, but the Colorado constitution bans gay marriage… Although some states have declined to defend against similar lawsuits challenging same-sex marriage bans, Colorado Attorney General John Suthers […]
Reuters' Patricia Zengerle reports via the Huffington Post on the latest work by Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado to expose and repudiate the practice of extreme interrogation methods used by American intelligence services, including "waterboarding."

(The Owen Hill comeuppance continues – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Devon Lentz and Tom Lucero are KFKA talk-radio hosts and also former Larimer Country Republican officials. Lucero was a CU regent. So you have to admire them for not pulling their punches when discussing state Sen. Owen Hill's statement, from an email, that Hill is […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado’s 2013 Legislative Session is in the books, er, I mean binders. It was a doozy. Shit got done. Progress got made. And the women who make up 41% of the folks representing Coloradans at the Capitol were a huge reason why. We decided to take a look back at some […]
