So, Uh, Now What? Republicans Look for Answers With Coffman Out

Congressman Mike Coffman told the Denver Post on Monday that he will not challenge Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet in 2016 and will instead focus on re-election in CD-6. Coffman’s decision to stay out of the race is big news for the same reason a flawed Coffman was the GOP’s top choice to run for Senate […]

What’s your favorite Colorado beauty spot?

(All of them! – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Here’s a brief break from the usual political chit chat. I’m about to take a vacation, and I want to keep it in state. I would like to visit a number of the best natural locations in Colorado (accessible by car). Colorado Pols readers are surely a […]

Michael Bennet: What Are You Thinking?

I have to hand it to Senator Michael Bennet.  The guy has balls.  I mean, how else do you explain how the guy can: • vote for the Keystone XL pipeline, then; • vote to override the President’s veto of the same bill; • vote to undermine the administration’s efforts to get a nuclear deal, […]

Fun With Press Releases: Say What Now?

Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams will be in North Kingstown, Rhode Island on Saturday to represent the state of Colorado at the "keel laying ceremony" for the USS Colorado attack submarine. Yup. It's a nice idea to have a Colorado elected official on-hand to help dedicate a submarine named Colorado, but why is Williams […]

BREAKING: House Fails to Support DHS Funding as Deadline Looms; Now What?

SATURDAY UPDATE: Congress passes one-week extension of DHS funding last night setting up a fresh battle for next week, while the immediate story continues to revolve around House Speaker John Boehner's crushing defeat at the hands of conservative House Republicans. Politico: The vote was 357-60. The Senate approved the stopgap measure earlier Friday evening and it was […]

Hijacking “Erin’s Law”–What’s Going On Here?

WEDNESDAY UPDATE #2: FOX 31's Eli Stokols: After a couple weeks of speculation that Republicans, who control the committee, were considering an amendment that would have rolled back the comprehensive sex education program Democrats enacted last year — effectively daring Democrats to vote against their own bill aimed at helping victims of child sexual abuse […]

Cory Gardner and Climate Change: What Did You Expect?

As FOX 31's Eli Stokols reports: After campaigning successfully last year as a "different kind of Republican," Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner is under fire from conservationists for voting Wednesday against an amendment stating that humans contribute to climate change, something 69 percent of his constituents believe to be a fact. Fifteen Senate Republicans, including 2016 […]

GOP Talks Immigration, but Only in Spanish-Language Translation of English Rebuttal…Wait, What?

The Republican Party supports working with President Obama on immigration reform…but only in Spanish? Republicans chose freshman Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) to deliver the GOP response to President Obama's State of the Union speech last night, which is about where this entire story stops making sense. Florida Republican Rep. Carlos Curbelo was tapped to deliver […]

Expert Analysis: What Happened in Colorado in 2014?

The good folks at Hilltop Public Solutions, one of the leading Democratic-aligned political consultant firms in Colorado with offices across the nation, have put together a fascinating presentation analyzing the results of the 2014 elections in Colorado. We had the opportunity to view their presentation this week, and obtained permission to use their slides and […]

What is a CRomnibus?

We've been discussing the so-called "CRomnibus" quite often in this space, but what does the term "CRomnibus" actually mean? As a public service to our readers here at Colorado Pols, here's the definition: The term "CRomnibus" refers to Congressional legislation that is something of a combination of an "omnibus bill"–which is how Congress often funds […]

What Democrats Need Is More “Colorado Model”

FOX 31's Eli Stokols reports on an interesting development as Democrats nationwide look to recover from an overall bruising 2014 election cycle–Colorado Democratic Party chairman Rick Palacio has been appointed to a select panel to "triage" the state of the Democratic Party nationally, and position itself better for victory in 2016: Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, the chairwoman […]

What the Lame Duck Session Means to our Federal Courts

After the 2014 Midterm elections in early November, the Senate will return to work for what is commonly called a “lame duck” session. While a “lame duck” session sounds…well…lame, this winter, it must not be an excuse for inaction. Among other pieces of business, there are many judicial nominees that must get confirmed to fill […]

Unpacking “Abortion”: What White Men Don’t Get

Or, “Why Mark Udall and Amendment 67 Both Lost in 2014” I was sitting in my living room a number of months ago, when a Udall commercial came on television and our wonderful Colorado senior U.S. Senator confidently and clearly articulated the word, “abortion”. “He’s going to lose”, I told my husband, “Mark’s going to […]

What Cory Gardner and Manti Te’o Have In Common

The Denver Post's Lynn Bartels reports with the San Diego Chargers playing tonight at Mile High Stadium–ouch! Catfishing is phenomenon of a person pretending to be someone they are not by fabricating an identity to lure someone into a relationship. One of the San Diego Chargers is Manti Te’o, the Notre Dame linebacker duped into an engagement […]

Beauprez should explain what the fed personhood bill that he’s co-sponsored would do. And tell Gardner

Reporters looking for another source to counter senatorial candidate Cory Gardner’s contention that “there is no federal personhood bill” can turn to gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez, who cosponsored federal personhood legislation and acknowledges his own support for it. And while he’s talking, Beauprez should explain what his federal personhood bill would do. Both Gardner and […]

For use in the Gardner rabbit hole, here’s more details on what fed personhood bill would do

(Everyone agrees but Cory – promoted by Colorado Pols) Fox 31 Denver's Eli Stokols repeatedly tried to convince senatorial candidate Cory Gardner last week that there is such a thing as a federal personhood bill, and Gardner is a co-sponsor of it. In so doing, Stokols cited Factcheck.org, which reported not only that the bill […]

What’s next for reporters covering Cory Gardner’s personhood hypocrisy?

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Fox 31 political reporter Eli Stokols tried hard last week to extract an explanation from senatorial candidate Cory Gardner for his decision to withdraw from "personhood" legislation at the state level but, at the same time, to remain a co-sponsor of a federal personhood bill, which would ban all abortion, even for […]

What do Female Voters REALLY Care About? The Keystone Pipeline!

Further underscoring the news that Sen. Mark Udall appears to be pulling away from Rep. Cory Gardner in the race for the U.S. Senate is this ridiculous new TV ad from Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS group that attempts — and fails — to divert the narrative that Udall is a better choice than Gardner for […]

What Military Gear Did Your Police Department Purchase?

Do you want to know what military surplus equipment your favorite law enforcement division picked up under the 1033 program? Well, you're in luck! NPR has published its research in nice easy-to-search files on Google Drive. According to their analysis, only three percent of the transfers under the program were weapons – but there are […]

…But What About Tuesday?

Colorado Republicans are apparently big fans of alliteration. They've come up with two volunteer recruitment days — one for men and one for women! You know, because Man/Monday and Woman/Wednesday. Since it is Friday and the eve of Labor Day Weekend, we thought this email (yes, it's a real email) from the Colorado Republican Party […]
