Measuring the scientific literacy of our politicians
Science plays a very important part in our political sphere. The most obvious is the theory of global warming – do we invest trillions to address the problems it predicts? But it plays a part across the spectrum from food safety to medical research to… the list is endless. The question I asked was please […]
You want interviews? We’ve got interviews
I was looking at the list of interviews I’ve done over the last year and I figured I should list them all for those that want to learn a bit more about some of our political leaders. The links are to my personal blog because finding all of these on Pols would take a lot […]
My sit-down with Treasurer Kennedy
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) I had the opportunity today to interview State Treasurer Cary Kennedy. She is easily the most personable elected official I have met to date (and that is a very high standard). She does an amazing job of connecting with people. She also clearly loves her job and feels very […]

Bernie Buescher of Grand Junction to be named Colorado’s next secretary of state. But, with every top state elected position currently occupied by Front Range types, we […]

Tonight’s winners and losers
Ok, let’s get your list of tonight’s winners and losers. Colorado perspective but national too. Tonight’s winners: The American people & the country. The National Democratic party – President, more Senate/House seats. Betsy Markey (and team) – a gigantic win. “Boulder Liberals” (and their standard-bearer Mark Udall) – preferred over Republicans by 10% of the […]
Colorado Political Draft: Round 2
We did the first round of our “Political Draft” in honor of April’s NFL Draft. Tonight is the NBA Draft, so we thought it would be a good time for Round 2. We took the top vote-getters (anybody who received more than 4 votes) from the first draft poll and put them in a poll […]
