Denver is going upscale. A 50-story building is set to grace (and change) our skyline. It's a swank Four Seasons hotel and condominium project at 14th and Arapahoe, across from the Teatro Hotel. Completion is set for 2007.
The prices will be as sky high as the building : Up to $700 a square foot for the condos. But check out these perks... MORE

First John and Janet, then Bill and Frances. But Kurt and Goldie? Gawker reports the tragic news:
Goldie Hawn is rumored to have taken up a close friendship with legendary cricket legend (betcha never though you'd see those three words in the same sentence) Imran Khan and Kurt [Russell], as a result of his distress over being ditched for, ahem... MORE

A few confused businessmen sat in the corner of the bar looking bewildered -- and maybe a bit pleased -- as 90 or so Denver Divas took over the bar. Mao turns into more... MORE

If the exit polls are to be believed, George W. Bush's share of the Latino vote in Colorado was the lowest of all of the states with large Latino populations -- a mere 30 percent. (The next lowest number would be 32 percent in California, according to the same polls.) Now, there is good reason to suspect the exit polls are wrong, especially when... MORE

The emerging conventional wisdom about the Democrats' stunning sweep of the state House and Senate last week is that Coloradans were tired of the previous Republican majority's focus on cultural issues and Congressional re-redistricting while the state's budget woes reached disaster levels. If the voters hoped to force Democrats and... MORE

Writing in yesterday's New York Times, former Colorado Senator Gary Hart discusses religion and politics.
If we are to insert "faith" into the public dialogue more directly and assertively, let's not be selective. Let's go all the way. Let's not just define "faith" in terms of the law and judgment; let's define it also in terms of love, caring,... MORE

His name is the Rev. Tom Haggard. He heads up the National Association of Evangelicals. He's off to Washington this week to confer with White House leaders about future Supreme Court nominations.

It seems like every election produces at least one extremely close result. In 2002 it was the 7th Congressional District race that was decided by 121 votes. That seems like a landslide compared to the election in State House District 23 in Jefferson County, where Republican incumbent Ramey Johnson is holding a four vote lead over Democrat Gwyn... MORE

Rocky Mountain News writer Jim Tankersley makes the argument that "values" don't have to be conservative values to resonate with voters. The trick may be just to use morally correct language. For example, Senator-Elect Ken Salazar is pro-choice and pro-civil unions, but he outperformed John Kerry in Colorado. Why? Tankersley attributes much... MORE

The votes in Boulder County have now all been counted, so we finally have a chance to look at a complete (unofficial) final vote count from Colorado.

Ken Salazar... MORE
