Report: Hickenlooper may be first to drop out of Democrat primary
I had done a dig on Hickenlooper some time ago. He has ties to CFR, Laurel Canyon, Olga Samaroff - pianist, Stokowski - conductor, Dorothy Parker, and the Vanderbilts.
It was a 7 part dig, and one of the more interesting ones (to me at least):

IMHO, while this is good news for the country that Hickenlooper is said to be withdrawing from the race for DEM Prez nomination, we are not out of the woods yet.... there is still a slim chance he might be tapped for VP, due to his connections and the fact that he perhaps remains more electable because of his slightly more moderate views than the radicals. A dem nominee on the top spot might conceivably see him as a moderating force to a ticket after a hard fought battle to win the far left radical votes.
At the time of the dig, I believe he actually was going for the VP spot for a Biden ticket, if I recall correctly. Our Colorado FReeQs will know these details better than I do.
ADDENDUM TO THE HICKENLOOPER WITHDRAWAL:
I neglected to mention that he may be working on seeking a Senate seat which some of his staff have reportedly suggested to him.
He’s getting no traction so my bet is he will drop out and run for Senate against Cory Gardner.
Extraordinary work Texie, as always.
