Goofy last names, phony charisma and a hidden leftwing agenda seem to be a winning ticket for Democrats.  Much like how Barack Obama won two years ago, John Hickenlooper capitalized on the same things to win Colorado’s gubernatorial race.  This race should have been an easy win for Republicans but the self destruction of Scott [...]

Funny last name?  Check.  So-called charisma?  Check.  Leftist in moderate clothing?  Check.  No, we are not talking about President Barack Obama but rather Democratic candidate for Colorado governor John Hickenlooper and a new video helps highlight the similarities between the two.  Not so long ago voters across the nation hoping for change elected a man [...]

Being the consummate urbanite no one would really expect Denver Mayor and Colorado gubernatorial candidate John Hickenlooper to have much in common with the more down-to-earth folks in rural areas of the state.  Now we see just how he feels about those folks as he discusses their “backwards thinking.” Late last year Hickenlooper was interviewed [...]

Dan Maes is in it to win – so he said today on Facebook.  The man who was nominated to carry the mantle to the Colorado governor’s mansion has seen his fortunes nosedive in the past weeks as scandal after scandal were exposed.  Despite the damage and the fact he has no chance to win, [...]

What should have been a success story for citizens in action against the establishment and our government has gone horribly wrong.  Supported by the Tea Party and 9/12’ers, Dan Maes was on the fast track to the state capitol but that train had slowed to a crawl in recent weeks and new revelations have derailed [...]

Feeling the heat from the electorate and worried about an up swell of dissent within its ranks, the Republican establishment has apparently begun to crack down on members’ freedom of speech.  The Chairman of the Weld County GOP recently sent out an email to committee members telling them that “inappropriate comments” that do not wholly [...]

With 75 days left to go before Election Day, Colorado Republicans may as well start their work on conceding victory to John Hickenlooper.  At one time Republicans were virtually assured the top seat in the state house but no more.  The Republican primary was a disaster featuring two candidates not fit to hold the office, [...]
