AP's Ivan Moreno reports this morning in the wake of huge legislative GOP primary victories for the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners in bellwether Jefferson County, over comparatively moderate Republican challengers–victories that have nonetheless worsened Republican odds of retaking the Colorado Senate this November: In Senate District 22, which covers Lakewood, Tony Sanchez defeated Mario Nicolais, […]
Think that the word "theft" is too strong to describe Colorado's public pension taking in 2010? Here's a definition from Law.com: "Theft: the generic term for all crimes in which a person intentionally and fraudulently takes personal property of another without permission or consent and with the intent to convert it to the taker's use."

As we first reported in this space a week ago, controversial Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer was in Denver last week to host a fundraiser for Colorado GOP Attorney General candidate Cynthia Coffman. Brewer, best known for signing Arizona's unconstitutional SB1070 anti-immigrant law, defended her decision on SB1070 at Coffman's fundraiser, saying Democrats have "not enforced [the […]
Sometimes, one's campaign swag leaves little to the imagination. Definitely the case with 2013 recall organizer-turned GOP Pueblo County Clerk candidate Victor Head: We're trying to figure out what's worse: that Mr. Head thinks "Everyone Loves Head" is an appropriate slogan for a serious campaign for office, or that only females are wearing this shirt in […]
As the Boulder Daily Camera's Sarah Kuta reports, the University of Colorado's "visiting conservative scholar," Dr. Steven Hayward, who we've discussed a few times in this space, is indeed giving CU students badly-needed exposure to political opinions not generally found on traditionally liberal college campuses. That was the purpose, after all, in GOP kingpin turned […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel's Charles Ashby reports: The GOP legislator who helped establish Colorado’s part of Obamacare defended the state’s health care exchange Tuesday. Rep.

As the Grand Junction Sentinel's Charles Ashby reports, longsuffering residents of safely Republican House District 54 may yet have a chance to put an end to their lingering Rep. Jared Wright problem: Grand Junction attorney Yeulin Willett is challenging Rep. Jared Wright to be the Republican nominee for House District 54. Willett, who has been practicing […]
The National Report breathlessly…well, you know, reports: As of January 1st, 2014, Colorado became the first state in the nation to allow adults aged 21 or older to purchase and use marijuana for recreational use. The decision has led to excessively large lines at pot shops across the state and store owners reportedly surpassed $1 […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) CLARIFICATION 11-10-2013: The Colorado Statesman’s Peter Marcus originally reported that Recall Hudak Too hired two young staffers who are involved in the signature-gathering effort, but Marcus found no evidence at the time (Marcus’ article was published Oct. 28.) that Kennedy Enterprises was on the payroll. He also reported that RMGO promised […]
When it comes to internet memes, former GOP Colorado House Speaker Frank McNulty is terribly clever: Better than what, we hesitate to ask? Because we're pretty sure Barack Obama is indeed from Hawaii. Wink, nod.
A rather shocking editorial cartoon in the state political insider water-cooler publication The Colorado Statesman last week was just brought to our attention today: This cartoon depicts a Republican, symbolized by an elephant, instructing a hunter on things to keep in mind while hunting "The Hudak." The elephant says to the hunter, "When you're hunting, remember […]
A friendly reminder that if you still have a ballot sitting around your desk, make sure to get it mailed today so that you can be assured it will arrive at your county clerk's office by Tuesday. If you don't mail your ballot today, you can still drop it off in person at any number […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Well the evidence is in and for all the upheaval over the past four years in the Douglas County schools because of the 2009 election of so called conservatives to the board of education and the subsequent implementation of their policies to terminate the ever evil teachers union and to send […]
We've been taking a look at the various voter turnout and registration statistics related to the Sept. 10th recall election, and a few numbers stick out as, well…interesting. According to the Secretary of State's office, there were 83,782 total registered voters in SD-11 (Sen. John Morse's district) as of Sept. 1, 2013. In SD-3 (Sen. […]
UPDATE: For what it's worth, the Denver Post's Lynn Bartels: Former Sens.

CleanSlateNow.org just released their third story on how special interest PAC money influences Congress. The first two focused on Republican Mike Coffman and Democrat Diana DeGette. This one is about Cory Gardner. Here is an excerpt: “The Colville River flows through much of the Brooks Range. Alaska’s largest Arctic River is home to 20 fish […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) On KHOW radio Friday, U.S. Senate candidate Ken Buck said voters can "absolutely" count on him to vote his conscience. (Listen to Ken Buck @6:50) Normally, you might think this would be a good thing. But when it comes to Ken Buck, and you recall his conscience-laden opposition to abortion, even […]
Talking Points Memo reports on the Stop Hillary PAC, getting significant attention for a group fronted by the relatively obscure Colorado Sen. Ted Harvey of Highlands Ranch. Though not an ingratiating kind of attention: The Stop Hillary PAC, which just unveiled its leadership team earlier this week, posted the image (shown below) on July 18. The […]
FOX 31's Eli Stokols sets the scene today: Colorado Treasurer Walker Stapleton, a Republican, announced Thursday that he’s seeking a second term.

State Sen. Randy Baumgardner. FOX 31's Eli Stokols: State Sen. Randy Baumgardner, a rancher from Hot Sulphur Springs, will officially launch his campaign for Udall’s seat this Friday in Grand County, the Denver Post’s Lynn Bartels reported Sunday. Baumgardner, known as the “Capitol Cowboy” at the Capitol, has been hinting that he planned to enter […]
We don't typically pay much attention to local conservative blogs, generally for qualitative reasons. But earlier this week, a local conservative blog wrote up the story that Colorado is opening a one-person office in Washington, D.C. to advocate on behalf of the state. As the Denver Post's Allison Sherry reported: The state is now among 32 other states […]
Politico Morning Energy reports today that Coffman received $6,500 from Koch Industries PAC last month.
AP's Ivan Moreno reports from the scene late Friday: Republican Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler testified Friday to defend himself against an ethics complaint alleging misuse of state funds for political events, insisting he used his discretionary office funds appropriately. At issue is Gessler’s travel last summer to a Republican conference on elections law […]
TREASURER STAPLETON: THERE WAS NO "ACTUARIAL EMERGENCY" IN 2010 WHEN SB10-001 WAS ENACTED BY THE COLORADO LEGISLATURE. COMMENTS OF COLORADO PERA DIRECTOR WILLIAMS, PERA TRUSTEE CAROLE WRIGHT, PERA GENERAL COUNSEL SMITH, AND TREASURER STAPLETON. In 2010, the Colorado Legislature enacted legislation breaking Colorado PERA pension contracts. Members of the Colorado Legislature, generally, have little respect […]
A release today from the Colorado Democratic Party asks rightful questions about the breakneck speed with which Rep. Mike Coffman, formerly representative of arch-conservative firebrand Rep. Tom Tancredo's district with a voting record to match, is seeking to reinvent his public image after barely surviving in his remapped and competitive new district last year: In […]
