Lefty Hickenlooper to become governor; Some other state races still up in the air
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 [...]
Republicans prepare concession speech in Colorado governor’s race
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, [...]
Teachers union pours members’ money into Republican primary
The actions of Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis and the charges of plagiarism are indefensible and the reason I refuse to vote for him in the Republican primary. A recent attack ad took the hopeful to task over the allegations and now it is revealed that the all-powerful Colorado Education Association was behind the ad. [...]
The Republican primary – Who I am NOT voting for

Politics of self-destruction – Colorado GOP set to turn governor’s office over to Hickenlooper

At the national and [...]
Do Republicans have a bigger problem than the Tea Party?
As much as the old guard in the GOP would like to dismiss it, the Tea Party movement is real and is gaining strength. These conservative voters have shown that they aren’t beholden to the Republican Party and won’t back down ‘for the greater good’ as many think they should. The Republicans are quickly coming [...]
Josh Penry endorses Jane Norton
With less than two months to go until the Republican caucus in Colorado, the endorsements are sure to start piling up. Cleve Tidwell announced that he had earned the endorsement of the Independence Caucus yesterday. Jane Norton has followed with her own big announcement that Colorado Senate Minority Leader Josh Penry had endorsed her. Penry’s [...]
Colorado GOP Chairman Dick Wadhams in bed with Norton campaign?
Oh, the tangled web we weave. Back in August, the Republican National Senatorial Committee (RNSC) registered domain names for then-potential U.S. Senate candidate Jane Norton. Colorado conservatives immediately raised a red flag and accused the national committee of interfering in Colorado’s choice to pick its own nominee to take on Senator Michael Bennet. State GOP [...]
Norton and Tidwell talk to north area Republicans
Political season is quickly arriving and candidates are crisscrossing their districts and the state drumming up support. Many were in Thornton on Saturday morning at the monthly meeting of the North Suburban Republican Forum (NSRF). The crowd was there mainly to see the big guns – the candidates for United States Senate. Former Colorado Lieutenant [...]
