UPDATE: Not to be outdone, CD-8 Republican candidate Lori Saine takes her own swipes at Rep. Liz Cheney ahead of this weekend’s rally. Perhaps we’ll see Saine in Casper Saturday? No RINO represents the DC Swamp like Liz Cheney; she voted to impeach President Trump just last year. Which is why it’s troubling that at a […]
The most memorable highlight from last Saturday’s “Republican Rumble” debates at the Grizzly Rose in Denver occurred just before the debate between Republican candidates running in Colorado’s brand-new CD-8, when one of the leading contenders in the race Weld County Commissioner Lori Saine, who claims to have RSVP’ed late to the event and opponent Jan […]
National political debate during the month of May has been dominated by the leak early this month of a draft U.S. Supreme Court opinion that would, if adopted, overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey decisions guaranteeing abortion rights to all Americans. The overturn of Roe would result in the immediate […]
At Saturday’s Republican Rumble debates at Denver’s Grizzly Rose watering hole and events center, the scene of some excitement after Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams physically blocked CD-8 Republican candidate Lori Saine from joining her opponents on stage, organizers took some jeers for a backdrop banner with a painfully glaring typo: You’ve got to feel […]

If you’re reading these words we will assume that you are already aware that a leaked document indicates that the U.S. Supreme Court is getting ready to overturn Roe v. Wade in what would be a stunning rollback of abortion rights. This news will obviously have an enormous impact on the 2022 election; how each […]
(Not so compassionate conservatives — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Tim Barton of the ultra-conservative anti-LGBTQ Wallbuilders group delivered the keynote speech Friday at the Christian Home Educators of Colorado’s (CHEC) annual “Homeschool Day at the Capitol.” last Friday. The event also featured “Interactive Activity Booths” from CHEC partner groups, including the John Birch Society, a […]
The June 28th Primary Election is just about two months away, and most of the action will take place among Republicans. With primaries for U.S. Senate, Governor, Secretary of State, and Congress (C0-03, CO-04, CO-05, CO-07, and CO-08), there are at least 20 different Republican candidates trying to get their message out to the GOP […]
This week in episode 106 of the Get More Smarter Podcast, your hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii welcome back Christy Powell, last week’s wildly-popular guest host, for a new segment breaking down the latest questionable spending in fundraising reports for federal campaigns in Colorado. Later, we listen in as Republican gubernatorial candidates Greg Lopez […]
Quarterly fundraising reports for federal campaigns were due by midnight on Friday.

UPDATE: The Colorado Democratic Party confirmed this afternoon that Charles “Chaz” Tedesco failed to meet the 30% threshold for ballot access in CO-08. Yadira Caraveo is thus the Democratic nominee for CO-08 in 2022. —– Democrats held most of their congressional assemblies on Tuesday, which means we have a pretty good idea of which candidates […]
This week in episode 103 of the Get More Smarter Podcast, hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii talk with Dusti Gurule, Executive Director of COLOR, about the passage of the Reproductive Health Equity Act (RHEA) which should be signed into law by Gov. Jared Polis today. But first, we talk through a bizarre candidate forum among […]
This morning, Republican candidate for governor Hiedi Heidi Ganahl proudly announced her latest endorsement, as reported (notably) by the far-right fake news outlet Just The News owned by nationally known conservative pseudo-journalist procovateur John Solomon–Republican House Minority Caucus Chair Elise Stefanik: “I’m endorsing the strongest candidate in the Colorado GOP primary and the woman who […]
Republican candidates for Congress in the new CO-08 got together last Thursday for a debate/forum at KHNC radio in Johnstown, so we decided to listen in and peck out another of our world famous “Debate Diaries.” The forum was sponsored by a group called the Youth Federalist Initiative (YFI), which touts itself as some sort […]
So far the message from Republican Mayor of Thornton Jan Kulmann, running in the red-hot Republican CD-8 primary, has been long on “glittering generalities” and short on policy details other than the “drill baby drill” refrain Kulmann picked up working in the oil and gas industry. But yesterday, Kulmann finally took a stand on an […]
Former Republican Congressman, presidential candidate, and anti-immigrant human blowtorch Tom Tancredo has been on a tear of endorsements for Republican candidates running in hot primaries. A “Tanc Ticket” of conservative contenders headed by Gino Campana for U.S. Senate and CD-8 candidate Lori Saine is coming together for the June 28th primary, along with Tancredo’s surprising […]
Seriously wealthy property developer turned Colorado GOP U.S. Senate candidate Gino Campana is running, as wrote about recently with the hire by Campana of former high-profile Donald Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway, with a single-minded strategy to appeal to the pro-Trump majority within the Republican Party faithful expected to participate in the caucus process. Today, […]

With all of the fundraising reports from 2021 now available, we took a moment to make some adjustments to The Big Line: 2022. Here’s a brief synopsis of what changed (and what didn’t): U.S. SENATE Incumbent Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet remains the clear favorite here, so the only movement is on the Republican side. […]
Monday was the deadline for candidates for federal office to submit quarterly (in this case, end-of-year) fundraising reports, which gives us our first good comparison for the candidates seeking election to Colorado’s newest Congressional district (CO-08). As you can see from the chart below, the five main CO-08 challengers reported remarkably similar numbers from the […]
For the second year in a row, GOP Rep. Stephanie Luck representing Otero along with portions of Fremont, and Pee-ebla Counties is the prime sponsor of legislation just introduced into the Colorado House that would require doctors to supply data on every abortion in Colorado to a new database set up by the state. Failure […]
