I have considered Andrew Romanoff a friend longer than most people in Colorado even heard of him. But I cannot support him if chooses to run for CD6. Joe Miklosi has been out there getting the endorsements, the local support, and the national attention needed to defeat Coffman. When he entered the race it was […]
A friend of mine once told me he loved politics because every two years he got to see new and creative ways that Democrats screw up a sure thing. He won’t be disappointed in 2010 if Andrew Romanoff stays in the Senate race. Andrew Romanoff is a good and decent man. Most of us CO […]
As the Rocky Mountain News reports: At least seven people, including three state lawmakers, an elections official, a TV host, a Republican county clerk and a Democratic activist, have applied for the Colorado secretary of state job. Secretary of State Mike Coffman won election in the 6th Congressional District and will replace Rep. Tom Tancredo. […]
The Denver Post speculates today on a couple of things that readers of Colorado Pols have known for weeks: that Democrat Cary Kennedy will likely run for state treasurer and that Republican Mike Coffman could end up on someone’s ticket as Lt. Governor, perhaps for Bob Beauprez. Acting Colorado Treasurer Mark Hillman could face a […]

(Bumped into November) It appears likely that Sen. Cory Gardner will not be re-elected to the U.S. Senate next week. If months and years of polling data are accurate, Gardner will be handily defeated by Democrat John Hickenlooper. It will be a loss of his own making. Like many Republicans, Gardner might have been dragged […]
At the end stage of any once-contested political campaign whose outcome has become clear as the season wore on, always a watched-for indicator of fateful decisions being made behind the scenes, is the curtailment of spending in races that national strategists in either party have written off as unwinnable. In races that stay close down […]

Six days before an unexpectedly vigorous Democratic U.S. Senate primary comes to an end next Tuesday, a hard-hitting story for underdog challenger Andrew Romanoff from the Colorado Sun today recounts in detail the problem we’ve been talking about in this space for months now: although Romanoff’s campaign in 2020 has run hard to the left […]

As the intraparty tempest following the entry into the Democratic U.S. Senate primary of former Gov. John Hickenlooper continues apace today, and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee’s (DSCC) choice to endorse Hickenlooper from the outset in the race over a slate of lesser-known candidates continues to provoke debate, former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff is […]
Freshman Rep. Jason Crow (D-Aurora) pulled off one of the more astonishing victories of the 2018 election when he unseated longtime Republican Rep. Mike Coffman in CO-6. Crow’s victory came in a very good year for Democrats, sure, but five months later it’s still hard to fathom that he ultimately won this race by 11 […]
Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) is among the most endangered Republican incumbents in the country. We know this because hardly a week goes by without some news outlet mentioning his vulnerability in 2020. While the 2020 election is still 607 days away (as of today), we’re less than a year out from the party caucuses in Colorado, […]

Democrat Jason Crow released his first General Election ad today in his bid to unseat Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) in CO-6. Take a gander: Now, let’s go back in time to August 4, 2014 and the first General Election television ad from Democratic candidate Andrew Romanoff, which featured the former Colorado Speaker of the House walking in an […]

Today is the first “official” workday following the Holidays, and since we’re still practicing writing “2-0-1-7,” let’s take one more look back on the year in politics that concluded (finally) over the weekend… WINNERS Michael Bennet Few politicians entered 2016 with more at stake than Bennet, who was widely considered to be the number one […]
As the Denver Post reports today, Democrat Morgan Carroll is not lacking in momentum in the final weeks of the 2016 election: In less than three weeks, Democrat Morgan Carroll has raised nearly $424,000 for her race against Republican Mike Coffman — a major October windfall that ups the ante in one of Colorado’s most expensive races.
