Why Scott Tipton won in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional district

Scott Tipton will be the new Republican member of the U.S. House from Colorado's 3rd Congressional district. This Fox News interview shows that he'll be an effective TV presence and representative of his district.

Sarah Palin, Jim DeMint, Ken Buck cost Republicans control of U.S. Senate

Sarah Palin and Sen. Jim DeMint foisted Ken Buck and other losers on the Republican Party, and that cost the GOP a chance to win control of the U.S. Senate in Tuesday's elections, according to Mort Kondracke, a long-time political reporter and pundit and a Fox News contributor. He calls Palin a joke in the first video. Is Palin's victory lap video, Together, a joke? It celebrates the winners she endorsed, not the losers.

Craig Silverman endorses Ken Buck, Tom Tancredo, Mike Fallon

Craig Silverman, a former Democrat district attorney in Denver and an independent who voted for President Obama, has endorsed Republicans Ken Buck for the Senate and Mike Fallon for Congress in the first Congressional district.

Sarah Palin endorses Tom Tancredo in robo call

Sarah Palin is endorsing Tom Tancredo for governor today in a robo call paid for by Tancredo for Governor. Hint: Palin's convinced Tancredo has a good chance to win, or she wouldn't waste her endorsement on him. When I got the call, I didn't hear Palin introduce herself. CNBC was on too loud.

Tom Tancredo counting on intensity of Republicans’, independents’ support

Tom Tancredo told close to 200 supporters in Littleton Monday that he is counting on the intensity of his support by Republicans and independents will help him win the governor's race tomorrow. And 11% of Democrats are supporting him, he said. The illegal immigration issue, he added, is resonating with Democrats. The head of the Republican Party in Colorado says a vote for Republican Dan Maes is a wasted vote, Tancredo noted. Tancredo needs to take some more support away from Maes to gain 80% of the GOP's votes. If he does that, he will win, he predicted.

Tom Tancredo’s closing arguments

Colorado voters have a once in a lifetime opportunity to take advantage of the state's looming budget deficits and use them to shrink government in the state, Tom Tancredo told about 150 people who attended his rally in Loveland Saturday. In what amounted to his closing argument, Tancredo warned that if liberals Democrats are elected, they will try to raise taxes instead of cutting Colorado's government spending. Tancredo, the American Constitution Party candidate for governor who is supported by nearly 80% of Republicans, also promised to improve school choice for parents and to make other educational reforms.

Denver Post’s endorsement of Michael Bennet turned against him by NRSC; Ken Buck’s feet in his mouth

In its endorsement of Obama Democrat Michael Bennet for re-election to the U.S. Senate where he represents his home town of Washington, DC, the Denver Post had some scathing comments about its candidate. The National Republican Senatorial Committee is using those comments in a new commercial (top). Comedians are hitting Ken Buck for his comments about homosexuality. The Left also is running a clip showing Buck has no respect for our long history of separating church and state. These clips could decide the election, which is a toss up:

John Hickenlooper: ‘Backwards thinking’ in rural Colorado

John HIckenlooper said in a 2009 interview, "We have some of the same, you know, backwards thinking in the kind of rural Western areas you see, in, you know, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico." As President Obama has said, I guess, people in those areas "cling to their guns and Christian beliefs." You sure know an Obama Democrat when he hear one.

Mike Fallon, M.D., is a politician who knows how to explain why ObamaCare adds $500 billion to debt

Mike Fallon, M.D., Wednesday gave the one best talks on health care economics and policy that I've heard since 1976 when I started covering health care deform. He certainly showed that he knows more about health economics and policy than any Republican who's in the U.S. House of Representatives today. More with links after the jump:
