It’s a critical time for Andrew Romanoff’s senatorial candidacy. There are no more caucus straw polls to win or county assemblies to ring up. And rival Michael Bennet’s decision to petition his way onto the primary ballot (one Republican Jane Norton soon mimicked) makes the May 22 convention mighty anticlimactic…

Yesterday, Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis made a big splash by saying he’d like to bring Arizona’s controversial new immigration law to Colorado. McInnis followed up comments on KHOW morning host Peter Boyles’s talk show with press availabilities aplenty, including one that led to a page-one, above-the-fold story on today’s…

Republican gubernatorial hopeful Scott McInnis likes Arizona’s controversial new immigration law a whole lot more than does Representative Jared Polis, who told Politico that requiring immigrants to have their papers on them at all times is “absolutely reminiscent of second class status of Jews in Germany prior to World War…

AM-760 host David Sirota, posting on ColoradoPols.com, shares a timely item that helps contextualize Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis’s assertion that he’d like to bring Arizona’s controversial immigration law to Colorado — an opinion expressed on KHOW this morning and via his spokesman, Sean Duffy, in a just-published Westword interview…
Republican gubernatorial hopeful Scott McInnis has been spending plenty of time on KHOW’s airwaves lately. On Monday, for instance, he attempted to counter suggestions that he’s not especially charitable during an appearance on the Caplis & Silverman show by telling how he’d killed an elk and given its meat to…
On April 1, we told you about a ProgressNow Colorado petition signed by more than 8,000 people who oppose Colorado Attorney General John Suthers’ decision to join a lawsuit challenging the legality of the new health-care law. Well, guess what? Today, Lu Busse, chair of the 9.12 Project Colorado Coalition,…
Yes, it’s the season for blustery rhetoric and high-pressure posturing down at the statehouse. But few stunts can match, for sheer unintended hilarity, this recent blast from Colorado Senate Republicans, denouncing a bill to restore voting rights to state parolees as a conspiracy by Dems to stuff the ballot boxes…

A blog from the Huffington Post yesterday certainly sports a grabby headline. It reads: “Tom Tancredo Says Arizona Immigration Law Goes Too Far, Still Supports It.” The problem with this take, which has replicated rapidly across the web in the last 24 hours? According to Tancredo, it’s completely inaccurate. “Russell…
There’s a reason political campaigns are known as the silly season… Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis has been bedeviled by implications that he’s not very charitable since at least last August, when he came unglued during an appearance on KHOW’s Caplis & Silverman show when questioned about an allegedly broken…
When John Hickenlooper first ran for Denver mayor, he separated himself from the pack with campaign commercials that displayed a quality rare among politicians — a sense of humor. And he appears to be taking the same tack in his bid for governor. Exhibit A is a donation-soliciting e-mail sent…

In politics, a single word can get in the way — especially when that word is “genocide.” During his presidential campaign, candidate Barack Obama left little doubt where he stood when it came to the events of April 24, 1915, when Turks exterminated somewhere north of one million Armenians. In…
“Expand limited gambling again? Why should we legalize video keno games and ask Colorado bar patrons to fund higher education when we could just legalize prostitution and ask college students to pay for state tuition increases by working their asses off.”…

A prominent wildlife conservation group is suing Secretary of the Interior (and former Colorado Senator) Ken Salazar for reportedly failing to protect a prairie song bird that many say is nearing extinction.
