It sucks to be a meteorologist these days. Weather forecasters in Colorado are petrified to make specific predictions on snow accumulation — probably because it’s becoming damn near impossible to guess correctly with Climate Change.

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) For an RH Reality Check post today, I collected the responses of pro-choice activists to last week’s court appearance by the accused Planned Parenthood domestic terrorist, during which he shouted, “I’m a warrior for the babies.” Were his outbursts further proof that extreme anti-choice rhetoric contributed to the November 27 murders in Colorado Springs? “I […]

UPDATE: Maybe you’ve never heard of Peggy Littleton, but Rep. Gordon “Dr. Chaps” Klingenschmitt has! Chaps recorded a full-episode interview with Littleton in 2013 on the evils of then-Sen.

“Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” — George Santayana, 19th century philosopher and poet. Good luck trying to find someone who hasn’t heard this sentiment in one form or another; over the years it has been paraphrased and misattributed more often than a 1980s rock ballad. The irony, of […]

(Is that what Tim Neville told him to say? — Promoted by Colorado Pols) KOA 850-AM Morning News anchor Steffan Tubbs wouldn’t be expected to know all the ins and outs of the state legislative session, which ends Wednesday. But if you’ve been following Colorado’s Republicans at all over the past three months, you know […]
Jefferson County, Colorado has long been considered a bellwether–for the state of Colorado, and increasingly as a place where national political trends can be seen in action contemporaneous to or before they take hold elsewhere. The result in Jefferson County has predicted the winner in Colorado statewide races for long enough that the rule of […]

Check out new ads ad targeting SD-19 GOP candidate Laura Waters Woods (above) and SD-16's Tim Neville (below). Neville, as we've discussed, is the brother-in-law of lightning-rod Jeffco board member Julie Williams. The Huffington Post's Samantha Lachman published a great story yesterday evening on […]
The Denver Business Journal reports on endorsements released today by the pro-business Colorado Association of Commerce and Industry–with a very few perennial exceptions like pro-business Sen. Cheri Jahn, this is an organization well known for supporting Republican candidates over Democrats in the vast majority of cases. But as Ed Sealover reports, not this year in a […]
UPDATE #2: Apropos, Eli Stokols goes in-depth on the SD-19 primary for 5280.com today: "I just couldn't do it," Sias says. "For me to [run for state senate], I'll be beholden to the Constitution and to the people of the district, not an outside power broker. At the end of the day, I'd rather lose than […]
WEDNESDAY UPDATE: The Denver Post reports today, Douglas County's Dan McMinimee hired by the new conservative Jefferson County school board majority on a split 3-2 vote: A badly divided Jefferson County Schools board on Tuesday night hired Daniel McMinimee as the next superintendent of the state's second-largest school district, as audience members howled in protest and […]
