The Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) held its “Summer National Meeting” over the weekend at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs. The event promised some “exciting conversations” on issues such as “inflation, litigation trends, and a Supreme Court roundup” that was surely edge-of-your seat entertainment, but the real action was at the various candidate fundraisers that […]
There is no group of people who know how to make a bad situation worse like Colorado Republicans. On Wednesday, Colorado Republicans announced that they had formally begun the process to recall State Sen. Kevin Priola from office for reasons that have nothing to do with policy and everything to do with partisanship. On Monday, […]
As readers know, the restaurant once operated by freshman GOP tempest in a teapot Rep. Lauren Boebert, Rifle’s Shooters Grill, shut down unceremoniously last month after the owner of the building declined to renew their lease. Since Shooter’s Grill appears to have operated more as a tax write-off than a going concern, and Rep. Boebert […]
Several absurd recount requests filed by sore-loser Republicans are scheduled to be completed on Thursday. But many of these candidates, including former Secretary of State candidate Tina Peters, are now trying to stop the recounts that they have already paid for because they don’t like how the recounting is being recounted…or something. This is all […]
Republican gubernatorial candidate Hiedi Heidi Ganahl’s campaign was in trouble long before the debacle that consumed most of her July, when Ganahl’s first choice for lieutenant governor all too publicly rejected her, and then her second choice Danny Moore plunged the campaign into fresh crisis due to Moore’s well-known conspiracy theorizing about the results of […]

WEDNESDAY UPDATE: The Glenwood Springs Post-Independent confirms the end of Shooter’s Grill as we know it, though freshman GOP rolling calamity Rep. Lauren Boebert hints that (threatens?) some kind of “smaller scale” establishment may replace it. No promises: Boebert said she doesn’t want to make any promises, but she and her husband, Jayson, are praying […]

Kristi Burton Brown (KBB) is the Chairperson of the Colorado Republican Party, which is a lot of responsibility for someone whose previous job – literally the last position she held prior to being elected GOP Chair – was serving as President of FEC United. If you’re unfamiliar with FEC United, they are an armed militia […]
(Fringe becomes her — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Despite the pundits’ pleas, Heidi Ganahl just can’t quit the Big Lie. With most political reporters highlighting Colorado Republicans’ relief at their base only electing one overt proponent of Trump’s Big Lie in Lauren Boebert, local conservative strategists and political experts are more focused on the gubernatorial […]
The New York Times has a feature-length profile up today on Colorado Republican Secretary of State candidate Tina Peters, who is by all metrics the frontrunner in tomorrow’s primary for the GOP nomination despite facing multiple criminal charges related to a breach of election system security on her watch in Mesa County in a failed […]
Last week, the U.S. House Select Committee investigating the plot by ex-President Donald Trump to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election zeroed in on John Eastman. Eastman, while serving as the University of Colorado’s “Visiting Conservative Scholar” sponsored by the controversial Bruce D. Benson Center for the Study of Western Civilization, worked directly […]
As the Washington Post’s Annie Linsky reports, Republican primary elections in several key states yesterday reveal the extent of ex-President Donald Trump’s enduring grip on the Republican Party in 2022. And for Republicans who claim the party is ready to move on from the 2020 elections and chart a future course without Trump, yesterday was […]

“Don’t worry about the world coming to an end today. It is already tomorrow in Australia.” –Charles Shulz
The Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog formerly known as the Colorado Statesman reports: U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn introduced legislation Friday in the U.S. House of Representatives aimed at protecting service academy students — such as those in the Air Force Academy — from punishment for refusing to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. “I am deeply concerned […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) By David O. Williams for the Colorado Times Recorder. Colorado congresswoman Lauren Boebert on Wednesday tweeted lawmakers are powerless to stop mass shootings like Tuesday’s slaughter of 19 elementary school students in Uvalde, Texas, writing, “You cannot legislate away evil.” That prompted congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to ask, also on Twitter, “Why even […]
We’re monitoring an intraparty spat that exploded into public view today between the Republican candidates running in the primary to compete in November for Colorado’s new CD-8 and their supporters, some of whom are set to meet tomorrow at Denver’s Grizzly Rose for debates featuring most of the big 2022 races called the “Republican Rumble.” […]
As Ernest Luning reports for the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman, Republican Erik Aadland rolled out three new endorsements in his bid to become the GOP nominee for Congress in CO-07: Three of the Colorado Republicans who unsuccessfully sought this year’s U.S. Senate nomination formally endorsed congressional candidate Erik Aadland on Thursday, calling […]
The three Republican candidates for Colorado Secretary of State (SOS) took part in a candidate forum on Thursday, May 12. Republicans Tina Peters, Mike O’Donnell, and Pam Anderson met for what we believe to be the first time at the Foothills Republican Club in Jefferson County. Of course, we HAD to commemorate the event with […]
A feature-length story from Abigail Weinberg writing for Mother Jones published yesterday is getting a lot of attention on both sides of the aisle, an extremely damaging but also insightful look at freshman GOP scandal incubator Rep. Lauren Boebert’s background and rise to prominence as the owner of the Shooters’ Grill in Rifle. Ever since […]
There was some VERY big news over the weekend regarding the 2022 race for Governor in Colorado. As first noted by the Colorado Times Recorder and subsequently confirmed on Saturday, Danielle Neuschwanger will continue her campaign for Governor — but as the candidate of the American Constitution Party. When last we saw Neuschwanger, she was […]
Reports coming in of a wild exchange in the U.S. House today between Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado and Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, who visited Capitol Hill to answer questions about the immigration backlog on the southern border and the forthcoming repeal of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions that have forced thousands of asylum seekers […]
(Neuschwanger’s going to November — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Former Colorado Republican gubernatorial hopeful Danielle Neuschwanger, who rode a wave of grassroots support to early straw poll victories, isn’t giving up her political hopes just yet. Yesterday during an interview on a conservative religious podcast, after claiming her former party rigged the assembly vote against […]
