(Sen. Irene Aguilar is a proponent of Amendment 69 – Promoted by Colorado Pols) In 2007 I had the privilege of serving on the Vulnerable Populations Task Force of Colorado’s Blue Ribbon Commission on Health Care Reform (Commission). This is when I first learned that the United States is the only developed nation in the […]
The Olympics are making lots of people think again about the Zika virus, and this, in turn, should give Rep. Mike Coffman a small slice of the media spotlight. In a June vote that was ignored by local reporters, the Aurora Republican backed a House GOP bill that actually factually aimed to block the United […]
UPDATE: A stunning disclosure from Wayne Williams’ office today that could raise many more questions: Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams has notified the Denver district attorney that a petition circulator turned in the signature of a deceased voter. Williams learned about the deceased voter when he was informed today that an elections staffer had […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Its not news that Colorado’s economic recovery has been uneven. As the Front Range booms much of the Western Slope has been left behind. Consider this article from the Daily Sentinel, today: Colorado’s population rate ranked as the nation’s second-fastest in growth in 2014 and 2015, with most of the increases […]
In an email to supporters Sunday, Woods wrote that she’d vote for Trump, if he were the nominee, adding, “I have liked Trump and Cruz, and at times I have disliked them both.” Woods, who’s been more open about her support for Cruz, said earlier this year on KNUS 710-AM of the Republican prez candidates: Woods: “My […]
When we discuss the Senate race here at Colorado Pols, we often write that “there are more than a dozen” Republican candidates in 2016. This is, admittedly, a vaguely bizarre statement. But it is difficult to provide a more specific answer to a query that is not as precise as it may seem. How many […]
Like candy hearts on Valentine’s Day or Jack-o-lanterns on Halloween, for Tea Party Republicans, nothing says “Election Year” like an AR-15 assault rifle! Here’s the details from a fundraising email sent out yesterday from the U.S. Senate campaign of Republican Tim Neville: Because a strong turnout at the March 1st precinct caucuses are so important, to help […]
UPDATE: Check these links for the latest results (h/t to longtime Polster “Phoenix Rising“). Iowa Republican Party Caucus Results Iowa Democratic Party Caucus Results —– Iowa caucus-goers will convene at 7:00 pm tonight (6:00 Mountain Time). Results should start to trickle in soon afterward, depending on the size and turnout at various locations. The Des Moines […]
(Credit where due – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Reporters should take note of the different responses, one by Colorado State University and the other by two University of Colorado campuses, to Rep. Doug Lamborn’s pressure to halt the acquisition of fetal tissue by two companies–as well as to the GOP Congressman’s demand that all NIH-funded […]
There’s an interesting story today in The Hill attempting to predict which of the 17 Republican candidates for President will still have active campaigns by the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucus on Feb. 1, 2016. From The Hill’s perspective, there are 7 Republican Presidential candidates who might not make it to the Iowa caucus: Rick Perry, Rand […]
(Ouch – Promoted by Colorado Pols) In today’s scripted political environment, you don’t often see one arm of an advocacy organization rip into, say, a school board member, when other arms of the same organization are fighting wildly for the survival of the same school board member. But that’s what the appendages of the Independence […]
FOX News’ Chad Pergram with a surprisingly candid report on a tough week ahead for Speaker John Boehner and the fractious GOP-controlled House: Next week could very well break the U.S. House of Representatives. Or, if things go well, the House Republican majority could score two of its biggest legislative victories in quite a while, demonstrating […]
Whether you're a leftist blogger, a right-wing talk-radio host, or a sad-eyed dog, you know by now that a government shutdown would be a blow to the economy. So if you hear of a politician saying he'd risk shutting down the government by voting against bipartisan budget legislation in Washington, you should ask for his […]
(Words mean things – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Rep. Mike Coffman got a lot of credit from Denver media earlier this month when he voted against blocking Obama's executive order allowing millions of immigrants with family ties in American to temporarily avoid deportation. The Associated Press, for example, reported Dec. 4 that "Mike Coffman, who has also […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Denver talk-radio host Dan Caplis implies in a Denver Post op-ed today that an East High School protest should be blamed for the serious injuries suffered by a Denver Police officer struck by a car near the demonstration. KNUS 710-AM's Caplis writes that the officer, John Adsit, "was horribly injured while trying to […]
Secretary of State Gessler warns us about voter fraud all the time. Now, we know he's most likely in the back pocket of the Koch Brothers and ALEC and fully intends to disenfranchise Democratic voters as his primary goal in this oh-so-noble effort. But, what if we were to give him the benefit of the doubt […]
9NEWS' Brandon Rittiman takes us on a trip down memory lane–before U.S. Senate candidate Cory Gardner's career depended on disparaging everything that Sen. Mark Udall and other Democrats have ever said or done: The recent battle over fracking in Colorado quickly entered Colorado's Senate race and the latest tiff involves Rep. Cory Gardner (R-Colorado) caught on tape a couple […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The kickoff rally to oppose Amendment 67, which would add "unborn human beings” to Colorado's criminal code and wrongful death act, is set for tomorrow at 12:15 p.m. on the west steps of the Colorado State Capitol, exactly 45 minutes after proponents of the Personhood-USA-backed measure stage a counter protest at […]
Americans For Prosperity, the big-spending conservative "grassroots" group already criticized this year for misleading campaign ads in Colorado, is out with a new TV spot this week attacking three Democratic Colorado Senators up for re-election. From the group's press release yesterday: Colorado’s largest grassroots free market group, Americans for Prosperity-Colorado, today announced a major expansion […]
UPDATE: Via Jason Salzman, Tom Tancredo responds on talk radio today: “You know, and I told [Beauprez] at the time, ‘Look,’ – because he was saying, ‘You get out of the race. I’ll get in.’ And I said, ‘Bob, I have 7,000 contributors.’ You know what, Peter? It’s now over 10,000 individual contributors to my […]
(Very interesting clarification – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez can try to get on the GOP primary ballot through both petitions and the assembly, despite news reports in 2010 stating that Republican candidates could not pursue both routes simultaneously. Ditto for Beauprez opponents Tom Tancredo and Owen Hill, who are trying both […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In her appearance on KNUS' Dan Caplis show last week, Rep. Amy Stephens, who's running for U.S. Senate, said she "would not be able to go the assembly route" and "win a statewide election and to take on an incumbent." Stephens pointed to State Treasurer Walker Stapleton as her poster child […]
(Open mouth, insert cowboy boot – promoted by Colorado Pols) POLS UPDATE: Salon picks up the story: Fast-forward three-plus years later, and Buck’s at it again. The goal this time? Don’t say anything stupidly and overtly sexist. That shouldn’t be too hard, right? Turns out, yep, that is too hard! Speaking on a talk radio […]
TUESDAY UPDATE: A reader points us to an appearance last night on The Last Word With Lawrence O'Donnell by recalled Colorado Senate President John Morse, in which Morse slams Weld County Sheriff John Cooke's stated goal to repeal the post-Columbine Amendment 22 background checks at gun shows: Would it have made a difference in Morse's […]
A disturbing story from EnergyWire (paywall) by former Denver Post reporter Mike Soraghan highlights the problem with the fallacy that the oil and gas industry can regulate itself: New Mexico oil and gas regulators haven't fined a single driller for violations this year. They didn't last year, either. Or the year before that. That's not […]
