By Kenny BeOctober 21, 2010

The Colorado leaders pictured in the UFO above, Gualberto Garcia Jones, Douglas Bruce, Jon Caldara and Jeff Peckman, were all responsible for placing measures on the 2010 ballot and all have great expectations for each Amendment passing. In short, they all have Great Yespectations…

John Hickenlooper going negative?: Cites Tom Tancredo’s bomb-Mecca line and flamboyance

By Michael RobertsOctober 21, 2010

When Tom Tancredo pulled to within four points of John Hickenlooper in a major poll, we guessed that Hick supporters would get ugly on their guy’s behalf. But WhoSaidYouSaid tracked down a recent clip in which Hickenlooper personally takes a more-overt-than-usual shot at Tancredo…

Cory Gardner: See attack ad on Betsy Markey (or was that Ed Markey?) Fox 31 decided to yank

By Michael RobertsOctober 20, 2010

Apparently, politicians can’t say just anything about their opponents in campaign ads. Case in point: Fox 31 has yanked a Cory Gardner spot attacking Representative Betsy Markey for making votes that were actually cast by Massachusetts’ Ed Markey, according to Colorado Pols. It seems that not all Markeys are created…

Denver election guide introduces judges to voters: Kenny Be’s Worst-Case Scenario

By Kenny BeOctober 20, 2010

After the Election Day stress of choosing the least objectionable candidate and making sense of the Amendments, voters are asked to decide upon the retention of a mysterious list of unknown State, District and County judges. In an effort to help educate voters for the upcoming November 2, 2010 election,…

John Hickenlooper, Tom Tancredo & Dan Maes show Real Gubernatorial Genius in new “ads”

By Joel WarnerOctober 19, 2010

Colorado’s gubernatorial race has offered a good dose of unintentional humor on its own. But Complete Colorado has upped the laugh ante by creating “Real Gubernatorial Genius,” satirical commercials (based on a popular Bud Light campaign) that lampoon Dan Maes, John Hickenlooper and Tom Tancredo…

Ken Buck’s homosexuality-to-alcoholism line: Take that back, says One Colorado’s Brad Clark

By Michael RobertsOctober 19, 2010

Dems pounced after Republican candidate Ken Buck likened homosexuality to alcoholism on Meet the Press. And while Buck’s spokesman pooh-poohed the controversy, activists like One Colorado’s Brad Clark aren’t ready to move on. Clark is among those appearing at a press conference at 1:30 p.m. today at which Buck will…

Dan Maes says he’s staying in race despite bankruptcy revelation, alleged bribe to quit

By Michael RobertsOctober 19, 2010

Another week, another series of disasters for the Dan Maes campaign. First came photos of Maes collecting cash in a burlap bag, in apparent violation of campaign rules (but beyond the statute of limitations). Next? News that he’d filed for personal bankruptcy in 1989 — the sort of info that…

Boulder commuters drive less, bike a lot, feel more virtuous — but should they?

By Alan PrendergastOctober 18, 2010

Recent U.S. Census Bureau data shows that barely half of Boulder’s work force get to their jobs driving alone — a significant reduction in the number of solo commuters that puts the green-minded community well ahead of traffic planners in Denver and other Front Range cities who are trying to…

Ken Buck spokesman pooh-poohs controversy over comparing homosexuality to alcoholism

By Michael RobertsOctober 18, 2010

On Sunday, Ken Buck compared homosexuality to alcoholism during a nationally televised Meet the Press debate with Senator Michael Bennet — and host David Gregory also brought up Buck’s decision not to file rape charges in a much-debated 2005 case. Not that it matters much, according to Buck spokesman Owen…

Ken Buck’s homosexuality and alcoholism line on Meet the Press: Manna for Michael Bennet?

By Michael RobertsOctober 18, 2010

From a style perspective, Ken Buck acquitted himself well in his nationally televised debate with Senator Michael Bennet on NBC’s Meet the Press yesterday. He came across as forceful and direct, in contrast to Bennet’s occasionally halting hemming and hawing. But Buck made the key mistake of giving the Bennet…

Clear the Bench Colorado’s Matt Arnold in catch-22 over orders from elections division

By Michael RobertsOctober 15, 2010

Clear the Bench Colorado, which aims to throw the bums off the Colorado Supreme Court, recently lost a court challenge from Colorado Ethics Watch and now must file with the Secretary of State’s office as a political committee, not an issues committee. And while that may sound like a technical…

Tom Tancredo pulls to within four points of John Hickenlooper, says Rasmussem Reports

By Michael RobertsOctober 15, 2010

Are you ready for Governor Tom Tancredo? Better at least entertain the possibility, because his poll numbers continue to rise, while those of Dem John Hickenlooper and Republican Dan Maes keep slipping. That’s the word from a just-released Rasmussen Reports survey, which shows Tancredo pulling to within four points of…

John Suthers not only one to blame for botching serial killer Scott Kimball’s case, author says

By Michael RobertsOctober 15, 2010

Boulder District Attorney Stan Garnett’s campaign against John Suthers for Colorado Attorney General is running ads arguing that Suthers let serial killer Scott Kimball remain free as an informant, while Garnett put him behind bars. Texas-based author Ed Coet, who’s written a book inspired by Kimball, his second cousin, doesn’t…

Barack Obama gay? A terrorist? A gangster? See the Grand Junction billboard going viral

By Michael RobertsOctober 15, 2010

Update: This billboard has now been removed. More info below. Last week, we told you about WhoSaidYouSaid putting up its 100th anti-Barack Obama billboard. But a different board is causing a considerably larger foofaraw in Grand Junction thanks to images of Obama as gay, a terrorist, a gangster and a…

Michelle Obama photo gallery: Is Barack Obama trying to absorb some of her popularity?

By Michael RobertsOctober 14, 2010

No wonder Michael Bennet’s campaign is so excited for Michelle Obama’s campaign visit at noon today in Englewood: She’s currently much more popular than her husband. That may also explain why so many shots from the White House Flickr stream find Barack basking in the light of Michelle and his…

Amendment 60 & 61, Proposition 101 haters engaging in organized yard sign attacks?

Each election season, plenty of political yard signs are stolen or defaced — look below to see a shot of a circle-and-slashed John Hickenlooper for Governor placard off I-76. But Aurora’s Rob McNealy says there’s a new twist on this vandalism when it comes to Amendments 60 and 61 and…

Ken Buck spokesman: Rape case stories smears that may scare women away from reporting

By Michael RobertsOctober 13, 2010

On Monday, we told you about Ken Buck’s decision not to prosecute an alleged 2005 rape, which liberal organizations view as evidence that he lacks compassion for women. Buck spokesman Owen Loftus sees something different — an unfair assault on Buck’s character that exploits the woman at the center of…

By Michael RobertsOctober 13, 2010

Is Ken Buck the poster child for Tea Party candidates who were never into witchcraft? Yes, judging by the appearance on last night’s edition of Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report of Brendan Steinhauser, the director of state and federal campaigns for FreedomWorks, Dick Armey’s Liberty Movement-boosting organization.

Dan Maes: If he broke rules by collecting cash in burlap bag, statute of limitations has run out

In recent days, KHOW’s Peter Boyles has talked up photos by T.L. James of a December 2009 appearance at which gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes collected contributions in a burlap bag. If he did so without properly recording donor info, he may well have broken campaign laws. But did he? Maes…

Last night, Senator Michael Bennet and Republican challenger Ken Buck engaged in their most high-profile debate yet — and shockingly enough, Bennet spokesman Trevor Kincaid believes his guy handily won the 9News-sponsored event on view below.

Amendments 60-61, Prop 101 backers fight “nonsense” with baffling cartoons seen here

The folks behind Amendments 60 and 61 and Proposition 101, the three tax-slashing ballot proposals that a wide array of opponents are fighting with a multi-million-dollar ad blitz, are pretty upset with the media. So upset that campaign coordinator Natalie Menten fired off a letter to “media members” blasting them…

Ken Buck’s refusal to prosecute alleged rape an effort to make him seem insensitive to women

By Michael RobertsOctober 11, 2010

Update below: Late last month, Colorado GOP boss Dick Wadhams said Democrats’ decision to attack Ken Buck with ads on issues like abortion shows that they’re “intellectually bankrupt,” since the voting public is clearly more interested in “the economy and taxes and spending.” But Buck opponents aren’t letting up on…
