(This could be interpreted as problematic — Promoted by Colorado Pols) In a race that may determine control of the U.S. House of Representatives, election workers across Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District are still counting votes to determine if dark horse Democrat Adam Frisch will upset Congresswoman Lauren Boebert. In Pueblo, the largest city in the […]
The dust is settling after the sweeping Democratic triumph in Colorado in the 2022 elections Tuesday, turning what was once hyped as a coming “red wave” into a cementing of total control over state government by Democrats, expanding their majorities in the Colorado House and Senate and easily re-electing the downballot statewide Democrats who historically […]
The Republican Civil War in Colorado will not pause for elections. While candidates and volunteers were working hard on GOTV efforts this weekend, El Paso County Republicans were busy spending several hours yelling at each other about some other really dumb thing. As Ernest Luning reports for the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman: […]
As the controversy continues to swirl over a blatantly false TV ad running from CD-8 GOP candidate Barb Kirkmeyer’s campaign, Denver7’s Meghan Lopez reports on how in the specific case of candidate ads running on federally regulated broadcast networks, normally expected standards like truth in advertising and even Colorado’s own statute against knowingly false statements […]
Running for a state legislative seat is a lot of work, but the basic process of becoming a candidate is not particularly complicated. Unless you are Paul Archer. Archer is a businessman of some sort who has donated significant amounts of money to Republican candidates over the years, and now it’s his turn to be […]
Coloradans have been consistently clear. We are tired of election deniers and conspiracy theorists. Pam Anderson, the Republican candidate for Secretary of State, kicked off her campaign claiming she was not “that kind of Republican.” But as this year has progressed, Anderson has shown her true colors–defending election deniers like Lt. Governor Danny Moore, and […]
With only three days and change remaining in the dreadfully overheated 2022 election season in Colorado, we’ve arrived at what’s known in some regions of the country as “nut-cutting time”–that magic moment when political analysts drop their partisan game faces and start to show some honesty about the expected outcome. FOX 31 Republican talking head […]
UPDATE: On a Thursday night before Election Day, Joe O’Dea was in Rifle, Colorado. Great to be back at Rib City in Rifle tonight. Folks are fed up with the reckless policies of Joe Biden and his yes man Michael Bennet. I’m running to fight for working Americans. I’m running to get our country […]
(Here’s your sign — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado State Board of Education candidate Peggy Propst is the latest Republican to sound the alarm over Colorado students she claims are dressing as “furries” and want “litter boxes in the bathroom.” “We have furries in our classrooms, kids that come to school and believe that they […]
As the New York Times reports in the wake of last week’s attempted assassination of Paul Pelosi, husband of Speaker of the U.S. House Nancy Pelosi: The attack on Ms. Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, on Friday, which left him with a fractured skull and appeared to be part of a planned attack on the speaker […]
Adding to a growing consensus of polling in recent weeks, the University of Colorado’s American Politics Research Lab released their latest Colorado Political Climate Survey, with numbers in line with other recent polls showing Gov. Jared Polis rapidly pulling away in the Colorado governor’s race, incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet prevailing over Republican challenger Joe O’Dea […]
On Monday, ProgressNow Colorado called for a new ad released by Republican congressional candidate Barb Kirkmeyer to be removed from circulation for falsely claiming that her opponent and the Democratic majority in the Colorado legislature “legalized fentanyl.” [1] There is absolutely no justification for Kirkmeyer’s claim that “Democrats legalized fentanyl.” That simply never happened. It’s […]
We wrote earlier about Republican Senate candidate Joe O’Dea inexplicably spending the last week of the 2022 election cycle touring the Western Slope and Eastern Plains of Colorado. This is a strange tradition for GOP Senate candidates who know they are about to lose, from Bob Schaffer in 2008 to Cory Gardner in 2020. On […]
We took note late last Friday of a new ad running from Republican CD-8 congresssional candidate Barb Kirkmeyer that falsely and repeatedly claims Colorado Democrats “legalized fentanyl,” a claim that has absolutely no basis in reality after legislation passed this year in Colorado significantly tightening penalties for possession of the drug. Previous to this year, […]

Colorado Congressperson Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert will likely be a bit nervous on Election Night as she waits to find out if recent polling numbers showing Democrat Adam Frisch gaining ground in CO-03 prove to be accurate. As we’ve noted before, Boebert is unquestionably the face of the Colorado Republican Party — and that’s probably the […]
One of the many oddities about freshman Colorado GOP walking talking cautionary tale Rep. Lauren Boebert is that she doesn’t generally endorse candidates in Colorado races–or it could be that Republicans don’t want Boebert’s endorsement. Either way, Boebert’s absence from the local Republican campaign circuit in 2022 has been as notable as her lack of […]
(At least someone has been listening to Joe O’Dea — Promoted by Colorado Pols) A candidate who says one thing to one audience and the opposite to another is the most common political cliche. It’s rarer to catch one doing so in front of a reporter, but that’s what has happened to Tim Walsh, a […]
As some of the more online among our readers may be aware and we’ll forgive them if not, an exchange between Gov. Jared Polis and Republican challenger Hiedi Heidi Ganahl at their debate last week in Grand Junction has enjoyed a curious afterlife, becoming by far the most-discussed moment of the series of debates between […]
Ever since Republican gubernatorial candidate Hiedi Heidi Ganahl introduced the issue of students “identifying as cats” as a campaign theme, later clarifying to Colorado Public Radio that a school play about “a raven that does a sex-change operation” was one of the events that motivated Ganahl to run for office, we’ve been watching for Ganahl’s […]
Very sad news this Sunday from the Denver Post’s Seth Klamann, Colorado House Minority Leader Hugh McKean passed away unexpectedly early this morning after complaining of symptoms consistent with a heart attack: McKean, who first was elected in 2016 and was chosen to lead the caucus in 2020, was found at his home in Loveland […]
“When men speak ill of thee, live so as nobody may believe them.” –Plato
Former state Sen. turned ubiquitous GOP political operative Greg Brophy is incensed that Democrats are likening two Republicans in a campaign mailer–two Republicans who Brophy claims to support: In short, Brophy supports both freshman GOP train wreck-a-thon Rep. Lauren Boebert and state house candidate Paul Archer, but Democrats comparing Archer to Boebert directly is “intellectually […]
We’ve been posting regular reminders of this each time a new story emerges about the obscene profits being collected by oil and gas companies. The reason that gasoline prices have been so high (though they are going down) is not because of President Biden or Gov. Jared Polis or government regulations. To paraphrase an old line […]

(Chase Woodruff/Colorado Newsline) by Chase Woodruff, Colorado Newsline October 27, 2022 In Tuesday night’s U.S. Senate debate in Colorado, Republican challenger Joe O’Dea saved his most pointed attack on incumbent Democratic […]
