Cage match: Governor Hickenlooper and AG Cynthia Coffman are at odds over an oil and gas lawsuit. This weekend at a town hall meeting, Michael Bennet got thoughtful about the state of his own party and their responsibility in the current political climate. The newest lefty protesting group, Indivisible, isn't going away. They're making plans

I know it's late on a Friday, and hopefully you're already at happy hour somewhere or doing something fun. Politics waits for no man (or woman) though, so we thought we would pass along these two things as you start your weekend. SHOT - Becuase Hickenlooper's MO is to wait until Friday afternoons to tell

There's a new candidate running against Mike Coffman. He comes from a dynastic political family and enters the primary against Jason Crow who has botched some interviews lately. ColoradoPolitics wonders how many of our seven congresspeople will agree to attend the Colorado Association of Commerce and Industry luncheon given the current political dynamics. Mike Kopp makes a

Jason Crow, the DCCC's establishment pick to take on Mike Coffman has now "evolved" from telling the media that he will move to the district as soon as possible to telling them he will move to the district only if he wins. Lefty super-donor Tom Steyer is considering a run for Governor in California. Why does that

State Rep. Susan Lontine called the CCU and Centennial Institute crowd a "hate group" while misattributing their stance on a bill about liability and sanctuary cities. We may not all agree all the time, but calling those disagree with you on political issues a hate group is not acceptable in civilized debate about issues. While we're all sitting here waiting

Yesterday, we raised some concerns about a Denver Democrat fundraiser that included a "members only" tour of the Denver Crime Lab. Ernest Luning of The Colorado Statesman followed up with Denver District Attorney Beth McCann who then canceled the event. That was the correct move. We were supposed to find out yesterday if HIckenlooper is actually calling

LOL, the teacher's union-affiliated group, Colorado Children Before Profits ::eyeroll:: sent out a "spike the football" email about the death of Senate Bill 61 (equalizing funding for charter schools). The only problem? It was repackaged and passed as a House Bill. Apparently, a bot has been using the CO voter file to spam comments onto an FCC post about

Not so fast! Hickenlooper is playing his perennial game of threatening the legislature with a special session. Again. Woof. Ken Salazar endorsed not-Joe-Salazar in the race for Attorney General, (ok, his name is really Phil Weiser, not not-Joe-Salazar, but still . . . ) Although Joe and Ken are not related, when asked during his announcement in

A bill to require an accounting of assets seized through the process of civil asset forfeiture is headed to the Governor. The practice has gained more and more attention over the last year. Our friend, Michael Fields, took a promotion with AFP and is moving over to the AFP Foundation. Congrats! As more and more attention is being

Last day of legislative session! One final surprise - a bill to try to create some equity for charter school funding finally broke loose of the legislative log-jam, much to the chagrin of the teacher's union types. The way that open primaries will be implemented is still the topic of serious discussion. The Boulder Valley Schools
