Maddow taps Bartels as Colorado’s political insider

October 31, 2014

If you’re Rachel Maddow looking to poke through Colorado politics, you won’t find a better tour guide than Lynn Bartels, political reporter for The Denver Post.

Bartels has her pulse of our state’s politicos, and is well respected by both parties. Maddow, who taped her MSNBC show this week in Denver. The show, with Bartels’ insights aired Tuesday. You can catch each segment at www.msnbc.com/search/Lynn%20Bartels.

In the short scenes, Bartels talks to Maddow about how important smiling is to the Mark Udall-Corey Gardner U.S. Senate race, the horse on the Paul Bunyan-sized red chair next to the main library, the Bannock street spot – now a gym – where various successful Democratic candidates had their campaign headquarters or conducted business to support other Dem hopefuls.

Bartels is a state treasure in Colorado’s shrinking newspaper industry. Now Maddow knows that too.
