Rolling Stone's breakdown of the Democrat primary tells us what this all came down to, money. Woof. Denver Public Schools recruited their own staffers for Americorps positions, against the rules, and now have to pay back federal funds. Congresswoman DeGette gets PETTY.
Hi Friends! It's post-primary day. Not a lot of surprises: The Democrat establishment largely won in their primaries last night. Looks like Phil Weiser will end up pulling out the Attorney General primary race against Rep. Joe Salazar . . . it did come out yesterday that Weiser has only litigated six cases in his legal career. Seems

If the deep fissures of the Democrat party can be measured by proxy with money being spent in their primaries, they have got some serious internal struggles this year. When even the New York Times is asking how far left the Colorado Dems are willing to go . . . that should tell you how out
The CEA's desperation is showing . . . they sent out information to member falsely claiming Michael Johnston had gotten $2m in support from a group who hadn't even endorsed, much less donated, in the primary. They're so hysterical at the prospect of Cary Kennedy losing this primary that the truth doesn't even matter anymore. Dunn,
Primary ballots continue to come in. One of the side effects of banning oil and gas development could be massive payouts to the mineral rights owners.

Several reporters and editors from The Denver Post are starting a new blockchain news organization - The Colorado Sun. We shall see how this new endeavor pans out. Primary primary ballot numbers are in, and this year is going to be a fight to the finish. Colorado Peak Politics calls on Jared Polis to release his
