If you want to hear what the base voters of the Republican Party are thinking, tune to... talk radio!

This is especially true when the radio hosts themselves are former Republican officials and office holders, as is the case with former CU regent Tom Lucero and former Larimer County GOP...

As expected, Gov. Hickenlooper signed a bill Wed. making it a crime to cause the death of a fetus due to a reckless act against a woman (like a drunk driver hitting a pregnant woman).

Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains issued a statement praising the bill's sponsors, Reps. Mike...

I really wanted to like Peter Boyles.

He could talk intelligently about any topic, so you never knew for sure what might come out of his mouth on his KHOW talk-radio show (at least when he wasn't talking about birth certificates, Jon Benet, or "illegals").

He was irreverent, blasting anyone...

If you're a reporter, and you've been covering Secretary of State Scott Gessler, it's been a tough few years, because he plays so fast and so loose with the facts. (See, for example, Gessler on voter fraud and illegal voters!).

So I pity the poor reporters...

Rep. Cory Gardner said on the radio Thursday that he and other House Republicans will act like a giant fence and stop the Senate's bipartisan immigration bill from becoming law, unless it's changed from its current form.

Any journalists who caught the interview would have to agree that...

The jaw of anyone who's followed the career of Rep. Mike Coffman dropped upon reading the National Journal's characterization of Coffman yesterday as a "moderate who sometimes refers to himself as an independent."

It's true that Coffman refers to himself as a moderate. Most endangered politicians trying...

During the last election, Denver's local NBC affiliate (9News) hired Denver University graduate students to help reporters check the facts in election ads.

"We essentially created three temporary jobs with a set number of hours each week to study as many ads as possible," 9News Assistant News Director Tim Ryan...

You might think all sides of the abortion debate could get behind legislation making it a crime for a drunken driver to hit a pregnant woman and kill her baby-to-be, but think again.

"Personhood" activists, who've twice lost ballot initiatives in Colorado to define life as beginning at conception, opposed...

Just after the November election, a chastened Cory Gardner told Fox 31's Eli Stokols:

Republicans have always talked about having a big tent, but it doesn't do any good if the tent doesn't have any chairs in it. Bringing latinos to the forefront, bringing women in, is absolutely...

The National Journal reported last week that the National Republican Congressional Committee has released an ad attacking Democrat Andrew Romanoff for favoring "the strictest immigration laws in the nation" which Romanoff "passed as Speaker of the Colorado House." Romanoff is challenging Rep. Mike Coffman, who's seen as in...

In the Denver Post, former State Senate President John Andrews wrote that if Colorado has election-day voter registration, as proposed in the election-modernization bill winding its way through the State Legislature, Democrats would "presto" have "tilted the electoral playing field permanently their way. Republican chances for regaining power...

You may recall that the Denver Post came out with a shallow editorial last week in favor of most of an election-modernization bill that's winding its way toward the desk of Gov. John Hickenlooper.

But, strangely, the newspaper argued that officials should consider waiting "years" before implementing election-day...

Rep. Mike Coffman announced last week that he's joining "No Labels' Problem Solvers -- a group of 56 Democrats and Republicans committed to meeting regularly across the aisle to build trust and talk about solving problems."

Some labels, like the label of "citizen" for...

Larry Pratt, Executive Director of Gun Owners of America, spoke in Durango this week in support of efforts to recall State Rep. Mike McLachlan, who sinned by supporting gun-safety legislation, like requiring a criminal background check prior to gun purchases.

Prior to his visit to Colorado, Pratt

In his April 9 article about proposed legislation that would, among other things, allow citizens to register to vote through Election Day, Durango Herald reporter Joe Hanel wrote:

Conventional wisdom holds that same-day registration will give Democrats an advantage. However, academics who have studied the idea find the...

Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler made the rounds on conservative talk radio last week to stir up opposition to expected legislation that would give us more options when it comes to voting, stuff like providing a mail-in ballot for every eligible voter.

Basically, the legislation would make...
