In what could be a winning strategy for other races, Colorado GOP primary candidates decide to drop fighting other Republicans and decide to focus on the real enemy….overspending, over taxation, and government control over freedom. This is a smart move by the Republicans and could [...]

The next time Matt updates the Senate rankings, you'll notice that my Florida ranking has been changed from "Leans Republican" to "Solid Republican." I had held some hope that maybe, just maybe, we could take the seat, but that was predicated on Charlie Crist winning the GOp primary, and that [...]
This week's show begins with a look at the week in Colorado politics with an eye toward the likely endorsement of GOP gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis by former rivals Josh Penry and Tom Tancredo.

[...]If you don't live in Pennsylvania, you might not be keeping up with the indictments.

I’m disappointed that it too so long to get these processed and published, but here are the videos from last week’s GOP governor candidate forum. With Josh Penry’s sudden withdrawal from the race they’re now somewhat dated, but they’re still informative and worth watching for the comments from Dan Maes [...]
