Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper’s war chest in his bid to be governor has zero dollars.

Meanwhile, the leading Republican candidate to be the Grand Old Party’s nominee topped $1 million, Scott McInnis’ campaign announced Friday.

At the same time, Gov. Bill Ritter’s campaign contributions for the fourth quarter of 2009 swelled his coffers to more than $2.5 million.

Unfortunately for Hickenlooper, though, state law bars the Democratic governor who dropped his re-election bid earlier this month from giving that money to his fellow party member.

But that’s all right, Hickenlooper said in a telephone interview...

“I’ve got a steep hill ahead of me, but my sense is: In politics it’s not always about money,” Hickenlooper said

Meanwhile, in the U.S. Senate race, the leading Republican candidate, Jane Norton, reported raising more than $1 million since entering the race last fall. U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, the Democratic frontrunner, is approaching $5 million.

Hickenlooper’s restaurants employed about 100 people with invalid Social Security numbers, including Garcia-Gomez.

Chokeapooper and Critter both need to be run out of town.

1st thing he needs to do is change his last name.

Now here’s an idea: use the TARP funds to make jobs for politicians (dims). Chickenpooper, there’s hope yet!

Maybe Hickenlooper could get on a gray horse and call him Grey Eagle and ride around town for patriotic support. It worked for one of his relatives.

That’s right, also, a large poster of his victim, with a sign saying “Whose side are you on, Hickface?”

I like it. I think I’ll send the name to Peter Boyles, who cannot get past out of office politicians. I hope Hickenritter catches on.

I’m sure ACORN and SEIU will fix that

[powderfan]

Don’t even bother raising money to waste people’s money, Hickenlooper. Even if you raise a lot you don’t have a chance, and everyone knows it.

[hinckley buzzard]

No doubt, the money will magically appear, several millions in small untraceable donations, a la Obama-money in 2008.

[george76]

I borrowed the name .

[mountainlion]

Heikelridder could not make it as a geologist so now he wants to be Governor? He had 100 illegals and one murder working for him and ignored the fed telling him they were illegal.

[lowbridge]

With a name like Hickenlooper, he ought to be in a 1930s WC Fields movie.

[goldstategop]

John Hickenlooper has no chance unless he can be competitive in the media and that costs a lot of money. I don't think he was planning to run until Ritter dropped his bombshell this month.

[dynachrome]

I fondly refer to him as Mayor Chickeneffer

[keepitreal]

Fire up the moped, John.

Maybe he can get a ten-gallon hat to putt-putt around the eastern plains in.
