After months of trying very hard to portray himself as “normal Republican candidate guy,” the real Gabe Evans is being revealed to the world just in time for voters to make their decision in CO-08. Today in The New York Times, reporter Annie Karni highlights the Republican candidates for Congress across the country who are election […]
Republican Gabe Evans has been letting his right-wing freak flag fly in recent weeks as Election Day gets closer and he is forced to elaborate further regarding his positions on a number of important topics. For example, his 111-word non-answer on the easiest political question imaginable: When is it okay to hit children in public schools? The […]
It’s that time in the election cycle when we ask readers of Colorado Pols about what’s going to happen when the votes are tallied. (Here’s Poll #1 and Poll #2) As we’ve noted many times, our readers have been oddly accurate in predicting outcomes over the years; while these polls are completely unscientific, we think […]
The dust has settled in the extreme northern smidge of the city of Aurora next to Denver International Airport where ex-President Donald Trump held a rally Friday to promote his fictional narrative of the “takeover” of this Republican-controlled city of 400,000 by migrant gangs, to be followed shortly by the overrunning of the entire state […]
Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump descends upon the Gaylord Resort in [squints] Aurora today to air his rambling list of grievances and explain why everyone in Colorado has been killed by Venezuelan gangs. And Aurora taxpayers get to pay for it (the reimbursement check will undoubtedly not be in the mail). If you’re planning on […]
“Truth is the ultimate power. When the truth comes around, all the lies have to run and hide.” –Ice Cube
Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump will visit Aurora (sort of) on Friday when his campaign holds a rally at the Gaylord Resort, which is near Denver International Airport and not anywhere close to the apartment complex that he and other right-wing screechers claim has been taken over by Venezuelan gangs. In order to celebrate Trump’s […]
It’s that time in the election cycle when we ask readers of Colorado Pols about what’s going to happen when the votes are tallied. We posted the first poll last week. As we’ve noted many times, our readers have been oddly accurate in predicting outcomes over the years; while these polls are completely unscientific, we […]
Arizona has nine congressional districts…or 10 if you count Colorado’s eighth congressional district. As we noted last week, the Arizona Republican Party sent out a mailer in support of Republican Gabe Evans, who is trying to unseat Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo in CO-08. This was a strange expenditure that we have never seen in 20+ […]
The 2024 election will conclude in less than a month. Naturally, Republicans across the country have decided to focus their attention on the 2020 election as they make their final pitch to voters. Questioning the results of the 2020 Presidential Election rushed back in a big way last week during the closing moments of the Vice […]
The sentencing last Thursday of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters to a total of nine years of orange as the new black for her official misconduct and conspiracy to tamper with election equipment in her custody as part of a half-baked plot directed by nationally-known election deniers to prove the 2020 election was stolen […]
There’s a well-worn axiom in politics that says, If you’re explaining, you’re losing. If that saying still holds true in 2024, then Republican Gabe Evans is most definitely losing. Evans is clearly worried that his history of opposition to abortion rights will cost him votes in his quest to defeat incumbent Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo […]

Democratic CO-04 candidate Trisha Calvarese is an arithmetic longshot running against Colorado’s controversy-eating carpetbagger Rep. Lauren Boebert in this heavily Republican district, but Calvarese has been raising big bucks to make the most of her run–and as Ernest Luning at the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reports, Calvarese is out with a hard-hitting new […]
A new poll this morning of Colorado’s (and one of the nation’s) most competitive congressional races, Colorado’s 8th Congressional District, shows a race as close as the mapmakers intended when they drew this almost perfectly divided district: A new poll of voters in Colorado’s 8th Congressional District shows a tie between Democratic incumbent Yadira Caraveo […]
(Where do all these Nazis keep coming from? — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder For the second time this month, a supporter of Republican congressional candidate Gabe Evans has been found to be promoting racist and antisemitic content online. On Sept 11, Evans fired his political director for her […]
During the Summer Olympic Games in Paris last August, as readers will remember, a controversy erupted over a female Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who was dubiously accused of being male on her way to winning the gold medal in her weight classification. Khelif’s bout against Italian boxer Angela Carini ended early after Carini stopped the […]
It’s that time in the election cycle when we ask readers of Colorado Pols about what’s going to happen when the votes are tallied. Pols’ readers have been oddly accurate in predicting outcomes over the years, so while these polls are completely unscientific, we think the results still carry some real weight. As always, we […]
Last week, Colorado’s eminent epicenter of rhetorical excess Rep. Lauren Boebert sat down for an interview with Colorado Public Radio’s Ryan Warner, who has a reputation for fair and polite yet still persistent questioning, and also capable of real-time fact-checking so as not to allow his interviews to become launchpads for misinformation. As The Hill’s […]
Colorado Republicans today are still reeling from or celebrating (depending on what side you’re on) yesterday’s ruling by an El Paso County judge definitively rejecting the attempt by critics of state party chairman Dave “Don’t Need No Stinking Brandon” Williams to oust him and his elective leadership allies, and replace Williams with former U.S. Senate […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder “If gay marriages are allowed, the institution of marriage will have been redefined to include all of the perverted and immoral practices mentioned above.” Colorado congressional candidate Gabe Evans wrote those words in a 2004 letter to the editor when he was just 17 years old. […]
The Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul gives us a lot to unpack today with a long-awaited hard look at CO-08 Republican congressional candidate Gabe Evans’ views on the social issues of marriage equality and abortion rights. Responding to ads slamming with backup Evans’ no-exceptions opposition to abortion as he indicated in several candidate surveys, as well […]
When we last encountered former state Rep. Dan Woog, running again for the Colorado House in Erie’s HD-19, he seemed to be lost deep in somebody’s cornfield with voices manifesting either in his head or in the background in what we think was a parody of the movie Field of Dreams, although Woog never left […]
As the UK Indepedent’s Ariana Baio reports, debate yesterday in the U.S. House took a turn for the characteristically nutty, after Colorado’s carpetbagging crusader Rep. Lauren Boebert dropped one of her signature non sequitur bombs in floor debate over an amendment she offered to a forest management bill: Colorado Representative Lauren Boebert slammed Democrats […]
