A week after the spectacular failure of the last of the recall campaigns from Colorado Republicans, launched against several individual Democratic legislators and Gov. Jared Polis over the summer, the Denver Post’s Alex Burness circled back with Republican leaders for a post-mortem look at what went wrong–Republicans who were willing to return his calls, that […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: The Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports: “Typical front ranger way of looking at things … you come up with something that is fake with the idea of defeating West Slope water projects so we are forced to send more water to the Front Range,” wrote Soper, who later deleted his own comment.

UPDATE #5: The Denver Post’s Anna Staver: “This gives Rep. Sullivan and the Democrats a victory,” said Dick Wadhams, a former Colorado GOP chairman. “Clearly, it was unwise to start this fight.” Wadhams said he thinks recalls have a place in Colorado’s political process, but they need to be “well thought out.” And he isn’t […]
As Colorado Public Radio’s Bente Birkeland reports–as word spreads nationally about the attempt by Colorado Republicans to recall freshman Rep. Tom Sullivan, whose son was murdered in the July 2012 Aurora theater shooting leading to Sullivan’s run for office on a platform of gun safety, everybody and their mother is lining up not just to […]
