I haven't heard any rumblings from Hickenlooper. Have you?
I think most smart dems know this year is not going to be a good one for them. So a nice and safe mayor's job would probably ok.
I think (hopefully) that it is going to be a bruising year for dems. So only the brave need apply.
I agree he (Hick) would be more formidable in a general election than Romanoff. But Romanoff understands and operates the state democrat machinery better than Hickenlooper.
Also, Romanoff isn't afraid to really play rough.
I guess you've heard Tancredo may run for guv?
I live in Douglas county just south of you.
Much as I like Tancredo, I think it would be a disaster if he ran for gov. Haven’t heard about Hick lately, but the threat is always there.
I would recommend getting involved in the local repub party. Douglas county republicans have a monthly meeting called first Friday in Parker. I’m sure Arap cty has the same sort of thing. I find this the best place to find out what is going on and keep abreast. The repub state chairman and higher ups are always there as well, and it is a good place to bend their ear. I have noticed attendance increasing lately - used to be 40-50 people, now I would estimate 75 attend.
This could be our year if we are smart about it, but I dread the prospect of running Norton and her ilk... We shall see. State caucusus March 16....
