Well, Colorado’s 2025 campaign trail is already looking like a Wall Street craps table. This Denver Post piece shows just how much cold, hard cash is sloshing around between folks with nameplates and ambition headaches. And the surprise headliner? Phil ‘Under-the-Radar’ Weiser raking in a small fortune.
The Bullet Point Brief
- Michael Bennet is still out here collecting checks like it’s Girl Scout cookie season.
- Shock of the week: Phil Weiser’s war chest grew faster than a teenage boy on protein powder—raising more dough than expected.
- Lauren Boebert pulled big dollars too… while simultaneously trying to navigate both her district move and national notoriety circus.
My Bottom Line
Here’s your reminder that politics ain’t about virtue—it’s about visibility and Venmo receipts. While most voters are figuring out how to cover property tax increases and buy $6 eggs, these candidates are hauling in donations larger than a front-range weed grow operation. But let’s talk Phil Weiser for a second—because when the rich folk start backing someone hard this early? That stinks of insider knowledge or backroom bets. Either way, don’t count him out just because polls show him behind Bennet. In this game, it’s not about who’s winning—it’s about who’s investable.
And if you think campaign bucks don’t matter? Bless your heart. In today’s race-to-zero-integrity system, money buys exposure, consultants, ads, fake authenticity… the whole charade package. The average voter might cast ballots with conviction—but billionaires cast them with influence. So while we’re over here sending thoughts and prayers to common sense, the real decisions get auctioned off at political fundraisers serving $300 plates of grass-fed hypocrisy.
It tells me one thing: keep an eye on where the donors dance—you’ll spot who they think can win long before CNN bothers covering it.
