ICYMI: Desperate Gardner Speeds Through 3rd Senate Debate

The candidates for U.S. Senate in Colorado — Republican Sen. Cory Gardner and Democrat John Hickenlooper — took part in the third of four planned debates on Friday evening. Sponsored by Denver7, The Denver Post, and Colorado Public Radio, this 90-minute debate was more substantial than the first debate between the two candidates but stuck […]

Denver Post (Mostly) Exorcises Itself of Cory Gardner

Six years ago, the Denver Post editorial board delivered an endorsement of Cory Gardner to unseat Democratic incumbent Sen. Mark Udall in the 2014 U.S. Senate race that outraged and demoralized Colorado Democrats ahead of an election they went on to lose by less than two percent of the vote. Although the relative value of […]

LISTEN: Cory Gardner at Peak Ridiculousness

Anyone who reads this website or follows Colorado politics in general is well aware that Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) really has only one political superpower: Obfuscation. Gardner has mastered the ability of saying many words in a particular order so that the end result is a completely nonsensical response to your question. It doesn’t matter […]

Hick or Gardner? And What’s the Spread?

We’ve been asking this question since July, and the results have generally been about the same: Colorado Pols readers seem to think Democrat John Hickenlooper will have little trouble beating Republican Cory Gardner in November. Ballots will depart for mailboxes on Friday, so we ask again: Who is going to win Colorado’s marquee race, and by […]

Cory Gardner Can’t Hide Behind Michael Bennet, Either

A new ad from Sen. Cory Gardner’s sputtering re-election campaign has no need for its full thirty second run time, since the first two seconds convey the whole message: Using a photo of your counterpart from the opposing party is a bold gambit, like Gardner does with Sen. Michael Bennet above, and Gardner goes even […]

Rope-A-Dope: Cory Gardner Tries Too Hard In First Debate

Friday evening, as readers know, Colorado’s U.S. Senate candidates met in Pueblo for the first of several scheduled debates. Friday’s event was not televised, but was live-streamed with somewhere in the neighborhood of 4,000 people tuned in at any given time. The relative lack of viewership compared to subsequent debates which are expected to be […]

The Senate Debate Is Still On. What’s Cory Gardner Going To Say?

What happens if either tests positive? 🤷🏼‍♂️ Hickenlooper campaign statement below. #copolitics pic.twitter.com/Q44qPNFH40 — Marshall Zelinger (@Marshall9News) October 2, 2020 —– CBS4 Denver reports ominously: There are new coronavirus concerns surrounding Amy Coney Barrett’s […]

Gardner Takes Both Sides of Both Sides on ACA Lawsuit

FRIDAY UPDATE: As The Hill newspaper reports, Gardner sorta commented on his vote Thursday: Another bill, sponsored by Gardner, called the “Pre-Existing Conditions Protect Act” would actually let insurance companies refuse to sell coverage to people with preexisting conditions, experts say. If an insurer did decide to sell a policy to someone with preexisting conditions, under […]

Another Indication that Gardner’s Days are Numbered

Last week, the Cook Political Report changed its ratings for Colorado’s U.S. Senate race, moving their prediction to the left from “Toss Up” to “Lean Democratic.” Today, another national handicapper made an even bigger change: Sabato’s Crystal Ball has adjusted its ratings for Colorado from “Leans Democratic” to “Likely Democratic.” As Kyle Kondik and J. […]

Cory Gardner Isn’t Even Pretending Anymore

UPDATE: What, me worry? Gardner walks in for his meeting with Amy Coney Barrett – the only Republican senator who did not do a formal media avail as he met with the Supreme Court nominee — Seung Min Kim (@seungminkim) September 29, 2020 —– In early 2016, Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) flat-out refused to […]
