...but Gov. Parker appointed Hickenlooper’s former chief of staff, Michael Bennet.

I think that was Gov. Bill Ritter. Don't know of a Gov. Parker.

I own the error, but can’t figure out how it happened. I lifted the quote at that time directly from the Wiki page. Or at least I thought so! Strange.

Here is the current Wiki:

“...According to The Denver Post, he was considered to be the frontrunner to fill the United States Senate seat to be vacated by Ken Salazar upon his expected confirmation to be Secretary of the Interior in the Obama Administration.[30] Hickenlooper had confirmed his interest in the seat. However, on January 3, 2009, Gov. Bill Ritter appointed Denver Public Schools Superintendent Michael Bennet to the position. Bennet previously served as chief of staff to Mayor Hickenlooper...”

Thanks, MileHi.

I’ve corrected it in my files.
