With the June 25th primary elections now in the rearview mirror, we’ve arrived at the moment in the campaign when Republican candidates running in competitive Colorado races traditionally shift their message gears from the partisan red meat that propelled them to victory in the GOP primary to the “kinder, gentler Republican” more compatible with the […]
We were admittedly surprised in early April when Danny Moore decided to run for a State House seat in HD-37. We’re slightly less surprised that Moore has decided not to continue forward with that quest. According to the Colorado Secretary of State’s TRACER website, Moore terminated his State House committee on Monday after spending a […]
Nothing quite says, “Happy Birthday, America” like opening the door to turning the United States into a dictatorship. The conservative majority on the United States Supreme Court used the opportunity of the week of America’s birthday to award “Presidential immunity” to whomever occupies the top elected office in the land. The Washington Post explains a […]
If you’re reading these words there is a strong chance you are the sort of person who watched the first Presidential debate of 2024 on Thursday evening. If you watched that debate, you saw what everyone else saw: President Biden looked pretty bad. Biden’s performance was a shock to the system for many folks who […]
There may be no person in Colorado more excited for this week to end than Colorado Republican Party Chairman Dave Williams. On Tuesday, Williams was absolutely hammered by Jeff Crank in the race for the Republican congressional nomination in CO-05; Williams lost by a 65-35 margin despite maneuvering the State Party to assist his campaign […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Soon after Colorado’s election polling centers closed at 7:00 p.m., onlookers at Congressional candidate Gabe Evans’ primary election watch party erupted in cheers. They’d just watched Kyle Clark of 9News on a big screen TV set up inside Thornton’s Satire Brewing Company in Thornton […]
Former Denver Post political reporter Justin Wingerter, now writing for BusinessDen, brings us up to speed on a lawsuit pending against talk show host, Republican National Committee member, and attorney for the Colorado Republican Party Randy Corporon. Corporon, as our readers know, is one of the state’s most strident election conspiracy theorists, and the defendant […]
WINNERS Campaign Fundamentals Running for elected office is hard, but it isn’t particularly complicated. You shake a lot of hands, raise a lot of money, and then use those funds to get your name and message out to potential voters. There were a lot of candidates who lost on Tuesday after failing to check some […]
As Andrew Kenney at Colorado Public Radio reports, the last, best chance to put an end to one of the consistently craziest reality TV spectacles in modern American politics died with a whimper last night as calumnious carpetbagging calamity for Christ Rep. Lauren Boebert rolled to victory over five hapless also-rans in the CO-04 Republican […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally published at the Colorado Times Recorder GOP Congressional Candidate Gabe Evans has been asked at least three times publicly whether he supports the mass deportation of immigrants, and in each case, he didn’t answer the question on the first try. But in two of the three cases, the interviewer didn’t […]
Colorado Republican Party Chairman Dave Williams is nothing if not full of shit. Last week Marshall Zelinger of 9News tracked Williams down at a Republican event to ask him a couple of questions, including a series of queries related to the Colorado Republican Party spending money on paid communications in order to help prop up […]
By David O. Williams Originally posted at RealVail.com Sometime back in 2015, Ernest Luning, my former colleague at the Colorado Independent and Colorado Statesman, forwarded me a press release from Dave Williams, a young conservative in Colorado Springs running for state House District 15 in that reliably Republican part of the state. I nervously laughed […]
Yesterday, Colorado’s Sen. John Hickenlooper Tweeted his addition of a Pride Flag to the display of flags in front of his Washington, D.C. office: Like every Democrat of any stature on Twitter these days, Sen. Hickenlooper has a healthy contingent of conservative trolls in his replies, and as we know from the controversy here in […]
As we inch closer to Tuesday’s Primary Election in Colorado, we’re keeping an eye on the still undetermined outcome of a key Republican Congressional Primary in Virginia that could have some interesting implications for the much-maligned House Freedom Caucus, which claims Rep. Lauren Boebert as a member. Congressman Bob Good, the Chair of the House […]
Colorado’s hottest congressional race in 2024 once again will be the fight for Democrats to defend the evenly-divided CO-08 seat held by incumbent Rep. Yadira Caraveo from who is expected to be the winner of the Republican primary, freshman state Rep. Gabe Evans. Although Rep. Evans is expected to win the primary election one week […]
Last week we got a peek at the last batch of federal fundraising numbers that will be available before the June 25th Primary Election in Colorado. There is a very obvious theme that emerges when you peruse the numbers: Republican candidates for Congress aren’t raising squat — particularly by comparison to their Democratic counterparts. Take […]
As the Daily Beast’s Dan Ladden-Hall reports and Bob Beauprez once said famously to a horse’s ass, “there’s that smell again.” Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has once again been accused of vaping in a place where it’s strictly prohibited. The Trump-loving congresswoman was spotted sporting an “autographed MAGA hat” and puffing away while in the […]
We noted earlier this week that Colorado Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-Denver) was predicting another big vote on women’s rights issues, and today it happened. As The Washington Post reports: Senate Republicans on Thursday blocked consideration of a bill to protect access to in vitro fertilization, the latest Democratic effort to put the GOP on the […]
We’ve been discussing in this space the bonkers (okay, EXTRA bonkers) direction that the Colorado Republican Party has taken recently under State Party Chair Dave Williams. As we noted last week, the hateful words coming from the State Republican Party about Pride Month are being heard and acted upon. We understand that some readers may […]
Supporters of gun violence prevention measures were some of the big winners from the 2024 Colorado legislative session — victories that were codified in the last few weeks with signatures from Gov. Jared Polis. As Jesse Paul writes for The Colorado Sun: Polis signed into law eight bills passed by the legislature this year that […]
There is a lot of money being spent in Colorado’s fifth congressional district in a late effort to make sure that Republican State Party Chairman Dave Williams does not win his June 25th Primary race against fellow Republican Jeff Crank. This is both about Williams the congressional candidate and Williams the State GOP Chair, because […]
As the standoff over Colorado Republican Party chairman and congressional candidate Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams’ kleptocratic leadership and attention-seeking appeals to hatred meant to distract and confound his critics barrels toward an as-yet unknown resolution, we’re seeing some pushback now from Christian conservatives who may be in a position to defend Williams in any […]
WEDNESDAY UPDATE: The good news (for Biden) and bad news (for Republicans) keeps on rolling in. The latest: Inflation in May was ZERO. Nada. Nil. From The Washington Post: Fresh data released from the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Wednesday showed slight improvement from April, when prices rose at an annual rate of 3.4 percent. […]
This week, the Senate will vote on a bill to protect access to IVF. I’m voting yes. Relentless attacks by Republicans on reproductive freedom post-Roe threaten the dreams of families like my own. pic.twitter.com/YaCUWG1wF9 — Senator John Hickenlooper (@SenatorHick) June 9, 2024 Here’s Sen. John Hickenlooper of Colorado discussing the upcoming vote this week on […]
HuffPost’s Igor Bobic reports, though by now you might have already seen the video: Former President Donald Trump heaped praise on Jan. 6 insurrectionists as “warriors” over the weekend and falsely stated that police officers welcomed them into the U.S. Capitol during the 2021 riot. “They were warriors but they were really more than anything […]
