Littwin: The bomb squad failed

Amendment 66 went down in humiliating flames. That's bad for Hickenlooper! But it's worse for education which, like everything else, will get less money. Hear that sound? The election is over but Doug Bruce's TABOR time bomb is still ticking.

Election Day Quiz: Do you look like a winner?

It's Election Day, meaning it's time for our first annual election quiz. There will be a prize. We just haven't figured out what it is yet.

Littwin: Obama’s Big Lie about your bad insurance

Let's give Cory Gardner credit, he was there first. He had the cancelled health insurance policy letter, which he keeps tucked in his inside jacket pocket during the day and under his pillow (OK, just guessing there) at night.

Is Cory Gardner trying to be the new Ted Cruz?

He's the young star of the Colorado Republican Party, I know, but here's a tip for Rep. Gardner: You can't be Tea Party darling Ted Cruz right now and also be the governor of or a U.S. senator from Colorado some day.

Littwin: Don’t need no outsiders, except our outsiders

Another scary day in the life of Tom Tancredo

Much scarier than Tom Tancredo's Amendment 66 Halloween movie is Tancredo himself. Don't trust me on this. Just ask "Colorado's Karl Rove," Dick Wadhams.

Littwin: Teaching kids in TABOR-land

On Amendment 66, the argument isn't whether our schools should be better funded. They should be. The real argument is about where to get the money, which quickly devolves into a spat about robbery, redistribution and socialism!

Wrong side of polls, wrong side of history

The polls are really bad for congressional Republicans in the wake of the shutdown crisis, but it's history -- the kind still being written -- that may be the party's biggest problem.

Littwin: OK computer, give the people what they want

The Obamacare IT foul up is deeply humiliating. Republicans are joyous. The president is mad. The people who should be maddest are the millions who still need healthcare.

We hate the Tea Party. Vote Tea Party in 2016!

In case you’re tempted to feel optimistic in a haze of post-shutdown good feeling, let me offer a few words of, well, discouragement.
