Kevlar Elk

Apparently, congressional candidate Levi Tillemann-Dick thinks elk are made of Kevlar. If this were true we would totally make bullet-proof vests with elk hides. The cops were called on a lemonade stand. Don't teach your kids about charity and capitalism, ya'll. Is Jason Crow being honest about not taking money from PACs? Nope.

Close but no cigar

The recall effort of a La Plata County Commissioner fell short by just 36 signatures. Colorado now has a new National Veterans Cemetary. People are watching less local news television overall, but 9 News is on top in Denver.

Disparate Special Interest Groups

When the varying and often disparate special interest groups of the left collide, it's always interesting to watch. If this VA hospital fiasco was in private industry, someone would be in jail by now. Those "concerned Republicans" sure have some things to say . . .

Ironic Ballot Access

Woof, when faced with the hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on travel for DIA and Denver officials, it keeps looking worse and worse.  In a twist of irony, former Rep. Lebsock and his aide collected signatures for one of the Democrat candidates in this primary. CU is considering some proposals that include "viewpoint neutrality".

Teen Vogue

Saira Rao, who is fighting Diana DeGette in yet another of the Democrats' unprecedented primaries, is appealing to new demographics by writing an op-ed about her candidacy for Teen Vogue. The content isn't as interesting as the fact she got the piece placed there in the first place. For those who think we need some California-style emissions

It’s Picking Time

The visits are done . . . it's picking time for Amazon. Major money is being spent in the gubernatorial primary on TV already - and the sheer volume of dollars, especially in the Dem primary, tells us they are facing some huge fissures. Democrats dodged and weaved this weekend - but none endorsed the Boulder

Sitting in Durango

Boulderite and anti-gunner Shannon Watts showed her liberal elitism in the most condescending way.  Joe Salazar won't commit to supporting anyone not named Joe Salazar. Don't go sitting in Durango.

Apple Wrecking Ball

Jared Polis made an ad where he took a sandwich he made for his son and put it straight into the lunchbox. Is this a big deal? No. But does it show that he's clearly never actually packed his child a lunch.  If Walker Stapleton had done this, the left would be APOPLECTIC about it. Our

Stand and Fight

Tillemann-Dick will stand and fight after his analysis of the polling data.  By popular demand (see? I DO read your emails): PERA fixes include some good reforms - and a wrong turn. Is Jared Polis feeling the heat from Cary Kennedy when it comes to women voters? It sure seems like it from his pandering.
