It was 60% back in September, according to the Ghost. It was their own poll, not PPP.
but if he gets his feelings hurt and goes home then maybe an ex-Congressman like John Salazar or his brother Ken Salazar.
Ken would be a nice choice.
His name is Dan Maes. He might even do better than the last time, maybe get 12% or even 15% of the vote.
On the Dem side, in the remote possibility Hick wouldn’t run in 2014, Morgan Carroll would have to be at the top of the list.
Secretary of the Interior
US Senator from Colorado
Colorado Attorney General
He would 1st Hispanic Governor of Colorado
or you can have Hickenlooper again.
But IMO Carroll is a better choice. By 2014 she will have 10 years experience as a state representative and senator, just selected unanimously as Senate Majority Leader. Won first term Senator with 69% of vote, re-elected with 57% of vote (much more competitive district). Sharp as a tack, a work ethic second to none, and knows state government inside out.
Would be first woman governor of Colorado. But that shouldn’t be any more of a consideration than Salazar being Hispanic. She is simply the most qualified person and best choice to be the next governor of Colorado.
I worked as a volunteer for Morgan during two legislative sessions. She is amazing in her talents and endurance. All her bills are ones to help average citizens, and/or limit the power of the powerful.
Homegurl loves it too much. He will run barring a sex scandal or corruption charges. And, he’ll win.
On the off chance that he doesn’t run, look for a run from Ken Salazar.
No disrespect to Morgan but she is too much of a toe the party line Democrat to win a statewide race. The Repubs would put up Cory Gardner, Jane Norton, or Walker Stapleton and wipe her across the floor. She’s never ran anywhere outside of a relatively safe D district.
If you’re looking for strong female leadership, look for a comeback by Cary Kennedy, a statewide from someone like Linda Newell–a swing district winner, or–further down the line of course–a young up and comer like Westminster City Council’s Faith Winter.
the Hick had better run more than a cute wet shirt campaign. Or show some nipple when he steps out of that shower.
If a strong challenger steps up early in the primary game, I wouldn’t be surprised if Hick changed parties, just to ensure that O&G money keeps coming into his coffers.
Morgan Carroll would get wiped across the floor by any of the names you mention, especially Walker Stapleton. I do agree that she is too much the base favorite Dem to be the best choice for a shot at state wide office. I can see her as a great congressional candidate in a Dem or truly competitive district.
by 2014 . . . ”
File that one away for future reference.
The only Colorado Republican with any clout who I see as a legitimate candidate for high-level statewide office (governor or senator) is Cory Gardner. And he’s smart enough not to run against Hick.
This one’s Hick’s if he wants it.
Where, oh where art thou, ArapaGOoP?
…if MJ isn’t in the stores by tomorrow.
The Boulder DA, Stan Garnett is showing more leadership and compassion right now. Perhaps a vote of 55% by his constituents, his DAs and his Police Chiefs, will make leading easier for America’s Most popular Gov…
So, now all the white people and college kids are safe, how about the black and brown people? Mitch Morrisey, what say you? Denver passed with 65.98%! Give the brown and black folks a break as well? You can do it, i know you can!
Hick would take him apart easier than Romer did, but he would be credible in a run at an open seat.
Barring something unpredictable, Hickenlooper is re-elected in 2014. Then he runs for President in 2016. If I’m right, I think it would be a pretty good 2016 run, too. He might even get the party’s nomination because I don’t see either Hillary or Biden running.
He kind of got screwed in 2010 when he dropped out in lieu of Scott McInnis. He co-wrote an opinion piece in the Denver paper last Friday with Rob Witwer where he made a radical shift to the middle in explaining the need for Republicans to reach out to non-white male voters. It’s just too bad he didn’t talk like this when he was serving in the Senate.

Mitt-mentum . . .
But one question: “Male voters”?
Ok, two questions: What do Repubs mean when they say “reach out to”? I’m vexed with that one.
And I’m going to reject some of the sentiments above that she can’t compete outside of her ‘home’ district. The only thing stopping Carroll from statewide office is her altruistic lack of ambition.
Democratic Primaries are won in the debates (which is why I love our Party) and we all know, in this world of ‘special interests,’ no Colorado politician has a finer record than Carroll. Her practiced ethics alone make it impossible for anyone else to defeat her in a debate. The only question is… does she want it? (I hope she does)
Governor would be “fun”.
