  • Santorum: 'I Want to Endanger Newt'

    Fox News ^ | February 4, 2012 | Nick Kalman
    MONTROSE, CO - Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum took a new jab at Newt Gingrich, saying he wants to "endanger" the former Speaker. The dig came during a campaign rally in Montrose, CO., as Santorum railed against the federal government's environmental regulations. "These are your lands! Oh but they always say we're doing it for your benefit," Santorum decried. "We'll make sure that you don't do something to scar the land or you don't do something to endanger a newt. No not that Newt, different newt. I want to endanger that Newt - that's a different story." The line drew...

    Public Policy Polling ^ | August 15, 2011
    Raleigh, N.C. – Having made his bid for the Republican presidential nomination official Saturday, Rick Perry instantly becomes a big threat to Mitt Romney’s dominance in the Western primaries and in the South, where he is already potentially weak. Perry ties Romney in Colorado, where Romney had enjoyed a lead, albeit small, when PPP last polled the state in February. Romney gets 22% to Perry’s 21%, with Michele Bachmann at 15%, Newt Gingrich at 9%, Ron Paul at 7%, Tim Pawlenty at 6%, Herman Cain at 5%, and Jon Huntsman at 2%. With Sarah Palin in the field, Romney and...
  • Palin's Unpresidential Calendar (She's skipping NBC/Politico debate, as she should)

    Yesterday Sarah Palin sent another signal that she probably won't enter the 2012 presidential race when it was announced she would be doing an event in Denver on May 2—the same day as the first Republican presidential debate. Ms. Palin has agreed to appear in suburban Lakewood at a "Tribute to the Troops with Sarah Palin," a fundraiser for the families of fallen soldiers in suburban Denver. John Andrews, a former GOP gubernatorial nominee who heads the Centennial Institute, says Ms. Palin will not accept a fee and all proceeds from the event will go to family members who have...

    The Washington Post's Post Partisan ^ | November 2, 2010 | Michael Gerson
    For many Republicans, the bright, golden haze of Election Day is marred by a thunderhead on the horizon -- the increasingly erratic political interventions of Sarah Palin. In the past, Palin embodied the populist style of the Tea Party movement while espousing a fairly mainstream Republican ideology. On economic, social and foreign policy, Palin seldom strayed from a simplified, popularized Reaganism. The mama grizzly may have been ferocious, but her talking points came from the Heritage Foundation instead of from darker corners of the right. But this election season has called that perception into question. Palin's endorsement of Christine O'Donnell...

    Colorado 3rd Congressional District candidate Scott Tipton says he's pleased former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is backing him. The endorsement appeared on one of Palin's web sites, www.takebackthe20.com. Tipton tells 11News he found out about the endorsement on Friday. He says it wasn't something his campaign pursued but he appreciates her support. The website also shows Palin is endorsing Cory Gardner for Colorado's 4th District. Palin's web site is aimed at replacing 20 house democrats that voted in favor of the health care bill.

    This is worth our time. It is Sarah Palin’s address, then her joining with Dennis Prager and Hugh Hewitt for questions and answers, last Saturday 5/22, at the Saturday 5/22, at the University of Denver: (VIDEO AT LINK) The event covered the bases of what constitutes inspiring conservatism, to the conventional 2010 mind and Governor Palin was luminous of mind and heart. Some even call her edgy and by conventionality’s standards, she is. But two critical aspects of the doings of 2010 were missing on this evening, again. They are what is never communicated in polite Republican speeches, whether in...

The events center was divided in half for the event. One side had tables for candidates and other sponsors, kind of like a trade show. The other half held a stage and seating for the crowd to hear the candidates. The event lasted all afternoon. 1.

    You should never annoy a cop. As a working lawyer in the suburbs with a criminal docket, it has been my sad experience over the years to have clients who insist on going to trial for a misdemeanor crime. At trial, it is my guy’s word against the cop’s. The jury hears the defendant’s pitch and then hears from the cop. The cop is simply doing his duty. He isn’t out to get anyone. The client wants to get off of the rap for the crime he has committed. The party’s motives come into play. My experience is that the...

    Castle Rock, CO The Douglas County Republican Party held a special election on January 19th at the Douglas County Events Center to replace outgoing Chairman John Ransom on a joyous night that was made special by the voters of Massachusetts. Before formal activities began, it was announced that Scott Brown had decisively won the U.S. Senate Seat formerly held by the late Ted Kennedy. Douglas and El Paso counties have very special roles when it comes to statewide elections. Both counties are predominately Republican and the local outcomes are not always that dramatic. However, each of these counties is a...

    Republican Senators are lining up in support of Colorado State University students, who are defending their right to carry a concealed weapon on campus. While CSU does not allow weapons of any kind in its residence halls, individuals are allowed to carry concealed weapons on campus as long as they have a properly issued concealed weapons permit. Last week, however, the CSU Board of Governors voted 9-0 to implement a policy that would leave the specifics of the school’s weapon control policy up to campus presidents. The policy shift is predicted to result in a campus wide ban, with most...

The 7th Congressional District represents the right path, right now, to do my part in helping make America better. The people here deserve a better choice,” Frazier said in a statement.

The Cherry Creek, East Plum Creek and West Plum Creek all eventually flow into the Platte River and the water then makes its way down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

    Weary of the direction the federal government is going, Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck hopes voters will elect him as the next U.S. senator from Colorado in 2010 so he can make changes, he said Wednesday. “I am as tired as you are at the social engineering that goes on in the federal government,” Buck said to about 40 people at the Larimer County Republican Party’s monthly meeting. He hopes to face Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet during the next election.

Buck, who has long been rumored to be entering the race, telegraphed his punches on April 23, when he registered the Web site promoting his candidacy — www.buckforcolorado.com. Before facing Bennet, however, Buck may have to win a Republican primary. Other possible GOP contenders include Aurora City Councilman Ryan Frazier and former 7th Congressional District Rep. Bob Beauprez, both of whom have expressed interest in the race. Buck did not return an interview request from The Colorado Statesman, but it’s possible...

    Weld District Attorney Ken Buck said Tuesday that he’s leaning toward running for Senate in 2010 against Senate appointee Michael Bennet. However, Buck said he has ruled out running for other offices while on his listening tour around the state. Buck said he likely will file paperwork to run for the Senate seat in April and then will announce his candidacy. He declined to give a date for his announcement. Bennet, a Democrat, was appointed by Gov. Bill Ritter to the Senate after Ken Salazar left his seat to take a position in President Barack Obama’s cabinet. Buck, a Republican,...

There was no Congressional procession to the White House. No press conference on the driveway.

We've taken the Monday through Wednesday off work, and want to make a road trip to either Nevada or Colorado to help with the "ground game" of getting our voters to the polls. Do we contact the campaign, or the state Republican parties, or what? Is it better to go to Democratic strongholds like Denver or Las Vegas, or to concentrate on the rural areas?

Not surprisingly, Tancredo was met with a rather cold reception with his known favoritism towards building the fence. “It really isn’t a border to most of us who live down here” said Betty Perez local activist. No need to guess which side she’s advocating. Now, on the not so stereo-typical side, you’ve got me to give you some insight into uber minority: the endangered Republican Female Mexican American...

And while riding through Muscatine on the Huckabus this week, Mike Huckabee was confronted by a very well informed former Tancredo staffer who argued with the Iowa frontrunner over the issue of immigration.

    The former state election director is stunned at Republican hand-wringing over the possibility that a Democrat might take over as secretary of state. Republicans say they fear voter shenanigans and the possibility of loosened voter requirements if a Democrat oversees the office, which has been held by Republicans for decades. "It's political fear-mongering from a bunch of hysterical Henny Pennies," said Billy Compton, a Democrat who served as election director for two Republican secretaries of state. Republican Mike Coffman, who in January began his four-year stint as secretary of state, announced last week that he intends to run for Congress...

    A Delta County commissioner whose roots in Colorado go back five generations wants to take on former Congressman Bob Schaffer for the GOP nomination to the U.S. Senate. Wayne Wolf, 56, acknowledged a "little David-and-Goliath kind of thing" in challenging a better-known and better-funded opponent. "The thing I like about that story is who won," Wolf said Monday. Wolf will make an announcement at noon Wednesday at the old Mesa County Courthouse in downtown Grand Junction. "I think people ought to have a choice," Wolf said, when asked why he was thinking of running against Schaffer. "I know it's a...

    The Grand Junction Sentinal ^ | February 6, 2007 | Mike Saccone
    A spokeswoman for presumed 2008 U.S. Senate candidate Scott McInnis said Tuesday the former congressman hopes to avoid a messy, divisive primary in the vein of 2006’s primary battle between Republican gubernatorial hopefuls Bob Beauprez and Marc Holtzman. Susan Smith, a spokeswoman for the former Grand Junction congressman, said McInnis was hoping the party will unite behind his candidacy. “The concern is that it would cause further damage to the party,” Smith said of a primary. “We want to learn from the past couple election cycles.” McInnis, who has all but formally announced his candidacy, could find himself pitted against...

    Republican Doug Lamborn, running in the 5th Congressional District, waited until last week to formally ask his chief primary rival for his endorsement. Lamborn met with Jeff Crank, who came in second to Lamborn in a bitter, six-man primary. Pundits say it's unusual for a candidate this late to be seeking primary endorsements, and it signals that continuing speculation about endorsements has become a problem for Lamborn's campaign. Lamborn, an attorney and state senator, faces retired Air Force Lt. Col. Jay Fawcett in November. Both are from Colorado Springs, the heart of the 5th Congressional District. Lamborn said Sunday he...

    A mailing accusing Republican congressional hopefuls Jeff Crank and Lionel Rivera of supporting the “radical homosexual lobby” may have backfired on its sender. At least two volunteers have since left the campaign of state Sen. Doug Lamborn, whom opponents are trying to tie to the mailing. And Sen. Andy McElhany has sent a scathing e-mail message declaring, “Those of us who know Doug Lamborn best are not supporting him.”
