Colorado Peak Politics digs further into polling numbers in the Republican primary. Could it come down to the wire? Cory Gardner says that Donald Trump "deserves praise" for his recent meeting with Kim Jong Un - but next steps are necessary. In what will hopefully be a major blow to the cottage industry of filing campaign

Levi Tillemann Dick just pepper sprayed himself to get attention. It's like watching an episode of Jackass. (Denver Post - paid link - sorry) - Another Denver tax increase? This one will be for parks, trails, and open space. When will ever be enough? (Another Denver Post link - sorry again) - You know how to tell

A new Magellan poll this morning shows Walker Stapleton currently still holds a commanding lead in the Republican gubernatorial primary. This poll was conducted even after second-place contender Victor Mitchell started attack ads, a move he may ultimately regret, as opening the floodgates in a situation like this is likely to backfire. A deeper look at the relationship between

The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Masterpiece Cake Shop in Colorado.  Dems met up to debate how to deal with the state's skyrocketing homeless problem, and didn't actually talk about how to deal with the state's skyrocketing homeless problem.  Samanta Bee's show has been declined press access to the Western Conservative Summit.

Well, the Democrat gubernatorial primary has gone negative. A new PAC, Teachers for Kennedy, has come out with a major ad buy ($1.1m) framing Kennedy as the pro-education candidate and portraying Johnston and Polis as opponents of public ed. The ad is of questionable truthiness. When asked specifically to renounce the ad, Kennedy refused. Governor Hickenlooper

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.

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.
